Abstract
In accordance with a first aspect of the present disclosure, a system is provided, comprising: a user device to be monitored for unauthorized displacement, an ultra-wideband (UWB) communication unit configured to set up a UWB communication channel with an external localization device and to perform at least one localization operation through said UWB communication channel, and a processing unit configured to detect said unauthorized displacement of the user device by analyzing an output of said localization operation. In accordance with a second aspect of the present disclosure, a localization device is provided, comprising: an ultra-wideband (UWB) communication unit configured to set up a UWB communication channel with an external system and to perform at least one localization operation through said UWB communication channel, and a processing unit configured to detect an unauthorized displacement of a user device comprised in said external system by analyzing an output of said localization operation. In accordance with further aspects of the present disclosure, corresponding methods are conceived and corresponding computer programs are provided.
