Abstract
Method and system for localizing a mobile device in a vehicle is provided. The method may include: triggering an audio system mounted on a vehicle, which audio system includes a plurality of speakers, to play an acoustic signal; and calculating a position of a mobile device in the vehicle based on a recording of the audio system's playback of the acoustic signal, which is recorded by the mobile device, and position information of the plurality of speakers. Localization may be more accurate.
