The invention relates to navigation, particularly, to detection of indoor and outdoor positions of mobile devices. Technical result of the invention is to improve the accuracy of mobile terminal position detection at time of occurrence of a specific trigger event and decrease of load on sensor, computing, communication and other resources of the mobile terminal at times when a trigger event occurs. Mobile terminal positioning technique at the trigger event moment, is characterized by the following sequence: receipt of series of readings of inertial and non-inertial sensors, identification of intervals, during which readings of at least one sensor generates a stationary process; then detection of at least one point of time, when at least one stationary process is replaced by another stationary process; then identification of parameters of at least one pattern of movement for at least one stationarity interval; then detection of at least one position of the mobile terminal according to readings of non-inertial sensors; estimation of mobile terminal path according to parameters of at least one pattern of movement and then of position corresponding to change of one stationary process to another; then detection of mobile terminal position at time corresponding to a specific trigger event.

Method for positioning a mobile terminal at the moment when a trigger event occurs

The technique and the system may be used for indoor positioning, where signals of navigation satellites are not available. In accordance with the technique patterns identifying location of the mobile terminal in a specific position may be detected, on the basis of data acquired from at least one inertial and non-inertial sensors in the process of movement of at least one mobile terminal; the path of movement of the above mobile terminal may be detected and saved in the local coordinate system associated with the above position, as well as data acquired from non-inertial sensors; statistically averaged parameters of conversion of local coordinate system of the mobile terminal may be generated in the positions detected in the process of terminal movement; at least one map of distribution of output values of non-inertial sensors may be prepared on the basis of data acquired at the previous step; the position of the above mobile terminal may be detected on the basis of data acquired at the previous step. The system may include a set of sensors of mobile terminal, a computer, a probability computation module, a module for selection of patterns, a data storage package and a coordinate converter.

Technique and system of positioning a mobile terminal indoors

A method and apparatus to reconstruct high-frequency components of an input audio signal. The apparatus includes a frequency inverter to invert the frequency spectrum of the input audio signal, a band pass filter which filters out the higher frequency components of the input audio signal, a converter which shifts the frequency spectrum of the filtered signal to create a correction signal, and an adder which adds the correction signal to the input audio signal to obtain a reconstructed audio signal.
