METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE POSITION OF A MOBILE ENTITY

The invention relates to a method for determining the position of a furniture part and an information carrier for carrying out a method, the furniture part having a camera, by means of which a stationary information carrier can be detected, the information carrier having a data region, which in particular has concentrically arranged circular-ring-shaped tracks, the information carrier having circular rings, in particular circles, concentrically arranged radially within the data region, in a first method step an image of the information carrier being recorded from the furniture part, in a second method step the identity information being determined, in a third method step data associated with the identity information being read out of a memory of the furniture part, the data comprising information on the spatial position and spatial orientation of the information carrier in the system, in a fourth method step the values of the geometric variables of the arrangement of the circular rings concentrically arranged radially within the data region and at least one specific circumferential position of the data region of the information carrier being determined from the recorded image, in a fifth method step the spatial position of the furniture part relative to the information carrier being determined from the determined values of the geometric variables and from the values of the geometric variables read from the memory and the position of the furniture part being determined, taking into consideration the stored values of the spatial position of the information carrier.
