System for measuring radio communicative region
First Claim
1. A radio communicative region measuring system for measuring a region in a workspace in which radio communication can be performed, comprising:
- a mobile object that can move in said workspace;
a radio transmitter or a radio receiver carried by said mobile object for sending or receiving a unique radio signal;
a radio receiver or a radio transmitter provided in said workspace for receiving or sending said unique radio signal;
means for determining receiving conditions of said unique radio signal received by said receiver as said mobile object moves in said workspace;
means for detecting the position of said radio transmitter or said radio receiver as said mobile object moves in said workspace; and
means for determining a region in which radio communication can be performed between said radio transmitter and said radio receiver based on said receiving conditions and the detected positions.

Abstract
A radio communicative region measuring system is provided for measuring a region in a workspace, in which radio communication can be performed. The system has a mobile object that carries a radio transmitter for measuring a radio communicative region. A radio receiver for measuring a radio communicative region is provided in the workspace. A position detecting system such as an ultrasonic tag operating unit is provided, which included a transmitter to be carried by the mobile object and a plurality of receivers provided in the workplace. Based on radio signal received by the radio receiver and positional information provided by the position detecting system, a region in which radio communication can be performed between the radio transmitter and the radio receiver is determined.
