摘要:
Altitude determining circuitry for use in a User Equipment (UE) of a wireless communication network is provided. The circuitry comprises a receiver to receive at least one pressure parameter representative of a plurality of indoors pressure measurements from a respective plurality of indoors pressure measurement units located inside a building at different altitudes. The altitude determining circuitry also has processing circuitry to receive from a pressure sensor in the User Equipment a local pressure measurement at the UE and the processor determines an indoors altitude of the UE using the at least one pressure parameter and the UE local pressure. An integrated circuit for a Global Navigate Satellite System comprising the altitude determining circuitry and an indoors pressure measurement unit having a sensor for making a pressure measurement and a transmitter for transmitting the pressure measurement to the UE or to a further indoors pressure measurement unit are also provided.
摘要:
The present disclosure provides systems and methods for identifying socially relevant landmarks that can facilitate wayfinding providing a landmark based route map that is easy to read and is dynamically updated by known and new landmarks based on their social relevance. GPS (Global Positioning System) locations help in identifying active zones and social media data associated with users in the zone help to identify candidate landmarks in the active zone that may be registered as new landmarks. Weights may be assigned to the landmarks based on periodicity and temporal factors to make the landmarks socially relevant and hence effective in wayfinding.

A portable terminal includes a GPS unit configured to receive a GPS signal, a GPS processing section configured to detect GPS accuracy at an interval and detect the position of a vehicle on the basis of the GPS signal received by the GPS unit, and an information processing section configured to detect entrance timing, which is timing when the GPS accuracy is detected when the vehicle is located at an entrance point of a multi-storey parking structure, on the basis of transition of the GPS accuracy detected by the GPS processing section at the interval.
摘要:
A wireless location/position computation system, device, and method are directed to multiple aid-data sources each providing location-related aid information, a wireless device configured to communicate with the aid-data sources, and a location computation module either integrated with or external to the wireless device. The wireless device may include a transceiver to communicate wireless, data and other signals. The wireless device may receive a position request to compute a position of the wireless device, and in response, initiate a compute-position session. In the compute-position session, the wireless device sends aid requests to and retrieves the location-related aid information from the aid-data sources and processes the location-related aid information from the aid-data sources to generate integrated location information. The location computation module may compute the position of the wireless device based on the integrated location information and satellite location information received from a satellite.

A system to select a type of satellite from a plurality of types of satellites in a multi-constellation of satellites is provided. The system includes at least a first receiver configured to input signals from a first type of satellite and a second receiver configured to input signals from a second type of satellite and a processor. The processor: executesa multi-constellation-selection software module to associate a current position with a mapping feature and select at least one selected type of satellite from the plurality of types of satellites based on the associated mapping feature; executes a compute-position/velocity/time (PVT) software module to compute a current position/velocity/time based on at least one selected input signal input at a receiver associated with the at least one selected type of satellite; and feeds the computed current position/velocity/time to the multi-constellation-selection software module based on the execution of the compute-PVT software module.

摘要:
In one embodiment, the position of a mobile device is determined based, at least on part, of the relative locations of two or more nearby points. Distance data, received from a range finding sensor, corresponds to distances to the two or more nearby points from the mobile device. A predetermined model that includes previously recorded locations for objects is accessed to receive location data for two or more nearby points. A position of the mobile device is calculated based on the location data and the distance data. The nearby points may be building edges or building corners. The calculation may involve a series of equations. The series of equations may include satellite-based positioning equations in addition to equations based on the predetermined model.

A moving information determination apparatus includes an ECA (Earth Center Assistant) information acquisition module, an altitude information and position information storage module and a moving information calculation module. The altitude information and position information storage module provides initial position information of the moving information determination apparatus and altitude information of the moving information determination apparatus. The ECA acquisition module obtains a radius of the Earth at the current position of the moving information determination apparatus. The moving information calculation module calculates the current position and/or velocity of the moving information determination apparatus based on the radius of the Earth and a plurality of signals from a plurality of satellites.
