Abstract

In an embodiment a splicing display positioning method includes obtaining a distance and/or a direction from a UWB base point device to a UWB label based on a UWB ranging technology and a UWB direction-finding technology, wherein a plurality of displays are spliced into a splicing display, wherein one UWB label is installed on each display, and wherein different displays are distinguished based on the UWB labels installed on the displays, calculating a mutual position relationship between the UWB labels based on the distance and/or the direction from the UWB base point device to each UWB label and determining a position of each display in the splicing display based on the mutual position relationship between the UWB labels.
