Abstract (en)

[origin: FR2910974A1] The system has a movable locating device (2) including signal processing units processing signals received by movable communication modules of the device from fixed communication modules of a device to be located (1) to determine a distance between the devices, where the modules are radiofrequency transmitters/receivers. Calculating units calculate a direction vector from measurements at temporal and geographical positions that are different from the device (2), where each measurement comprises the distance calculated between the devices, and a reference angle. An independent claim is also included for a method of locating a person or movable or fixed object.
