ENHANCED NAVIGATION MODE WITH LOCATION DETECTION AND MAP LAYER SWITCHING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17817571 titled 'ENHANCED NAVIGATION MODE WITH LOCATION DETECTION AND MAP LAYER SWITCHING

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method to enhance navigation in map applications or systems when Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals are weak or sporadic. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • A user equipment (UE) monitors its position based on GNSS communication using a first map layer associated with a map.
  • When the GNSS communication falls below a certain threshold, the UE detects if its position corresponds to a predefined location.
  • If the position matches the predefined location, the UE switches to monitoring its position using a second map layer associated with that location.

Potential Applications:

  • Navigation applications or systems that rely on GNSS signals can benefit from this technology by providing more accurate positioning information even when the GNSS signals are weak or sporadic.
  • It can be used in various industries such as transportation, logistics, and outdoor activities where accurate navigation is crucial.

Problems Solved:

  • Weak or sporadic GNSS signals can lead to inaccurate positioning information, causing navigation applications or systems to provide incorrect directions or guidance.
  • This technology solves the problem by switching to alternative map layers associated with predefined locations when GNSS signals are weak, ensuring accurate positioning information.

Benefits:

  • Enhanced navigation accuracy: By switching to alternative map layers, the technology ensures accurate positioning information even when GNSS signals are weak or sporadic.
  • Improved user experience: Users of navigation applications or systems will benefit from more reliable and accurate directions, leading to a better overall navigation experience.
  • Increased safety: Accurate positioning information is crucial for safety in various scenarios, such as emergency response or navigation in remote areas. This technology helps ensure accurate positioning even in challenging GNSS signal conditions.


Original Abstract Submitted

Aspects presented herein may enhance the navigation function of navigation/map applications or systems when GNSS signals are weak or sporadic. In one aspect, a UE monitors a position of the UE based on GNSS communication, where the position of the UE is monitored using at least one first map layer of a plurality of map layers associated with a map. The UE detects that the position of the UE corresponds to a predefined location when the GNSS communication is below a communication threshold. The UE switches to monitoring the position of the UE using at least one second map layer of the plurality of map layers upon detecting that the position of the UE corresponds to the predefined location, where the at least one second map layer is associated with the predefined location.
