Abstract:
Methods, apparatuses, and devices for generating one or more harsh or diminished radiofrequency environments relative to a planned route of a mobile device user. In one example, a mobile device user a be routed through a harsh or diminished radiofrequency environment based, at least in part, on a sensor suite of a mobile device and/or based on a user's preferences. Prior to entry into such an environment, various sensors may be activated in a manner that permits position estimation in an absence of SPS based positioning signals and/or TPS based positioning signals.
Abstract:
Techniques for compensating for inertial and/or magnetic interference in a mobile device are provided. The mobile device can include a vibration motor to vibrate the device, a processor, and can include an inertial sensor and/or a magnetometer. The processor can be configured to actuate the vibration motor to induce vibration of the mobile device, to measure motion of the mobile device with the inertial sensor of the device to produce sensor output data and/or to measure a magnetic field generated by the vibration motor to produce magnetometer output data, and to compensate for the vibration of the inertial sensor induced by the vibration motor to produce compensated sensor output data and/or to compensate for a magnetic field generated by the vibration motor when the vibration motor is actuated to produce compensated magnetometer output data.
Abstract:
Techniques are provided which may be implemented using various methods and/or apparatuses in a mobile GNSS device to compensate for arm swing. An example of an method for compensating for arm swing according to the disclosure includes determining an arm swing signal, such that the arm swing signal is approximately sinusoidal with a period of approximately T seconds, determining a position signal measurement period, receiving a plurality of positioning signals at intervals corresponding to the position signal measurement period, and determining current position information based on the plurality of positioning signals.
