Abstract
In one aspect, the systems and methods may automatically trigger ranging include a device which may establish a connection between a first device comprising a first ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna and a second device having a second UWB antenna. The device may receive from one or more motion sensors of the first device, motion data of the first device during an inactive ranging phase. The device may determine to switch from the inactive ranging phase to an active ranging phase responsive to the motion data indicating motion of the first device satisfying a threshold criteria. The device may perform a first ranging operation between the first device and the second device using the first UWB antenna of the first device and the second UWB antenna of the second device, responsive to switching from the inactive ranging phase to the active ranging phase.
