ERRONEOUS TIME AND LOCATION DETECTION AND CORRECTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17455387 titled 'ERRONEOUS TIME AND LOCATION DETECTION AND CORRECTION

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system and techniques for detecting timing errors. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The system receives navigation timestamp information from a navigation system at two different instances.
  • It calculates the time difference between the two instances based on the navigation timestamp information.
  • The system also receives network timestamp information from a wireless device at the same two instances.
  • It calculates the time difference between the two instances based on the network timestamp information.
  • The system then determines whether the navigation system's time reporting is correct by comparing the navigation system time difference with the network time difference.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Navigation systems: This technology can be used to ensure accurate timing in navigation systems, improving the reliability of location-based services.
  • Wireless networks: It can be applied to detect timing errors in wireless networks, helping to maintain synchronization and improve network performance.
  • Internet of Things (IoT): This technology can be used in IoT devices to ensure accurate time reporting, which is crucial for various IoT applications.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Timing errors: The system addresses the problem of timing errors in navigation systems and wireless networks, which can lead to inaccurate data and unreliable services.
  • Synchronization issues: It helps to identify discrepancies between the timing reported by a navigation system and the network, allowing for timely corrections and synchronization.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved accuracy: By detecting timing errors, this technology ensures that navigation systems and wireless networks provide more accurate and reliable information.
  • Enhanced performance: By maintaining synchronization, it helps to optimize the performance of navigation systems, wireless networks, and IoT devices.
  • Better user experience: Users can benefit from more precise location-based services and improved connectivity in wireless networks.


Original Abstract Submitted

Systems and techniques are described for detecting one or more timing errors. For example, a system can receive, from a navigation system, navigation timestamp information at a first instance and a second instance. The system can determine a navigation system time difference based on the navigation timestamp information at the first instance and the second instance. The system can further receive, from a wireless device, network timestamp information at the first instance and the second instance. The system can determine a network time difference based on the network timestamp information at the first instance and the second instance. The system can further determine whether time reporting by the navigation system is correct based on the navigation system time difference and the network time difference.
