DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MEASURING POSITION OF ELECTRONIC DEVICE
First Claim
1. An electronic device capable of determining a relative position of at least one other electronic device, comprising:
- a communication unit;
at least two microphones; and
a control unit which generates signal information by which another electronic device may generate an output signal to be detected by the microphones, controls the communication unit to transmit the signal information to the other electronic device, and, if the output signal is obtained by the microphones, determines a relative position of the other electronic device, based on the output signal obtained by the sensor unit.

Abstract
Apparatuses, systems, and methods for an electronic device to detect the relative position of another electronic device are described. One electronic device includes a communication unit, at least two microphones, and a control unit. The electronic device generates signal information by which another electronic device may generate an output signal which can be detected by the microphones. The signal information is transmitted via the communication unit to the other electronic device. If the output signal is obtained by the microphones, the electronic device determines a relative position of the other electronic device, based on the obtained output signal.
