Location recognition system using stereophonic sound, transmitter and receiver therein, and method thereof
First Claim
1. A transmitter in a location recognition system using stereophonic sound, the transmitter comprising:
- a sound detector operative to detect a sound of an object and operative to convert the detected sound to an electrical signal;
a data converter operative to convert the electrical signal converted by the sound detector, to acoustic data; and
a first communication interface operative to transmit the acoustic data converted by the data converter and location tracking information to a receiver.

Abstract
A location recognition system and method using stereophonic sound, the system having a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter uses the stereophonic sound and transmits location tracking information of an object. The transmitter includes a sound detector which detects a sound of the object and converts the detected sound to an electrical signal; a data converter which converts the electrical signal converted by the sound detector, to acoustic data; and a first communication interface which transmits the acoustic data converted by the data converter and the location tracking information to the receiver. A user can immediately recognize the location of the transmitter which transmits the location tracking information and is the target of the location tracking. Therefore, the mutual communications between the transmitter and the receiver which receives the location tracking information can be smoothly carried out.

7. A receiver in a location recognition system which uses a stereophonic sound and includes a transmitter transmitting location tracking information of an object and the receiver receiving the location tracking information, the receiver comprising:
-
a location and state tracker which generates location information of the receiver by detecting a location of the receiver;
a relative location calculator which computes a relative location and state value of the receiver with respect to the transmitter based on the location information generated by the location and state tracker;
a stereophonic sound converter which converts acoustic data to stereophonic sound digital data to inform a location of the transmitter based on the relative location and state value computed by the relative location calculator;
an analog converter which converts the stereophonic sound digital data converted by the stereophonic sound converter, to an analog signal; and
a sound output section which outputs the analog signal converted by the analog converter as a sound. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
