Serious problems for deploying indoor positioning systems are related to issues including laborious and monetary costs. To solve the problems, we introduce the concept called “mirror-image speaker”. We assume that acoustic signals reflected by walls or floors are emitted from virtual speakers of their real speaker at its mirror-image positions. By conducting multi-lateration using direct and reflected signals, it is possible to accurately and precisely find a position of a target (e.g. smartphone). The proposed method will be implemented in a navigation system to be deployed at corridors in an office building where the number of available speakers is small and multiple reflective signals are receivable.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
