摘要:
A mobile device 10 configured to have at least one function disabled when a speed of the mobile device 10 exceeds a threshold. The mobile device includes an output component 20 configured to provide a notification related to disabling the at least one function. The mobile device also includes a first input 70 component configured to promote controlling whether to disable the at least one function.
摘要:
A mobile device 10 configured to estimate the speed at which it is moving. The mobile device 10 includes a timing component 50 configured to perform a plurality of Doppler shift measurements on a timing signal received by the mobile device 10. The mobile device 10 also includes a processing component 60 configured to correlate the size of the range of the plurality of Doppler shift measurements to the speed at which the mobile device 10 is moving.
摘要:
A method and a corresponding apparatus tor receiving a signal over a wireless communications channel, making a plurality of frequency offset measurements in respect of the signal, determining a measure of variation of the frequency offset measurements and eventually determining at least one of a charmel quality parameter and a speed parameter as a function of the measure of variation of the frequency offset measurements. A further embodiment comprises frequency offset measurements made in respect of the signal and used for adjustments to a frequency of a local frequency source to synchronize with a remote frequency source whereby those adjustments to the frequency are used as said frequency offset measurements.
摘要:
A system and method for speed measurement of a mobile device (300), using a speed sensor (460) such as a satellite navigation system (460) or an accelerometer, does not need such speed sensor (460) to be continually activated. The system and method make use of a monitor (471) for monitoring at least one motion indicium for indicating that the speed of the mobile device (300) is above an initial threshold (112), including but not limited to: monitoring the Doppler shift measurements of a timing signal; monitoring the timing advance of a cellular radio signal; monitoring the number of base stations (511) visible to the mobile device (300); monitoring the frequency of base station handover, however determined; monitoring the level crossings and/or the autocorrelation of an RSSI signal; and/or triangulation of the position of the mobile device (300). When the monitor (471) determines that the mobile device (300) may be travelling in excess of a threshold speed (112), a speed sensor (460) is activated to confirm the indication. If the speed sensor (460) determines that the mobile device (300) is travelling at a speed below a second threshold (171), the speed sensor (460) is deactivated.
