Abstract
A listening device for tracking locations of a tracking device in a physical space includes one or more wireless transceivers, one or more sensors, and one or more processors. The processors generate positional indicators associated with the listening device based on signals generated by the one or more sensors, based on communications with an external device, or both. The listening device communicates with the tracking device to receive a tracking signal, based on which the processors identify a position of the tracking device relative to the listening device. The tracking device is located within the physical space based on the identified position of the tracking device relative to the listening device and the positional indicators associated with the listening device.
