Vehicle and Node Positioning Method - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18308889 titled 'Vehicle and Node Positioning Method

Simplified Explanation

The embodiment vehicle described in the patent application includes a signal transmission part for wireless network connection outside of shaded areas where GPS signals are not received, and a positioning part to communicate with other vehicles outside the shaded area to calculate relative positions.

  • Signal transmission part transmits signal for wireless network connection outside shaded areas
  • Positioning part communicates with other vehicles to calculate relative positions

Potential Applications

The technology could be applied in autonomous vehicles, drones, and other mobile devices that need to maintain connectivity and positioning in areas where GPS signals are weak or unavailable.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of maintaining connectivity and accurate positioning in shaded areas where GPS signals are not reliable, ensuring seamless communication and navigation for vehicles.

Benefits

- Improved connectivity and positioning accuracy in shaded areas - Enhanced safety and efficiency for autonomous vehicles and drones - Seamless communication and navigation in challenging environments

Potential Commercial Applications

"Wireless Connectivity and Positioning Technology for Shaded Areas" could be used in autonomous vehicle systems, drone navigation systems, and mobile devices for outdoor activities in remote locations.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of signal boosters or repeaters to enhance wireless connectivity in areas with poor signal reception. However, the specific application of this technology for maintaining connectivity and positioning in shaded areas where GPS signals are not received may be a novel innovation.

Unanswered Questions

How does the technology handle interference from other wireless signals in the area?

The patent application does not provide details on how the technology mitigates interference from other wireless signals that may affect signal transmission and positioning accuracy.

What is the range of communication between vehicles for calculating relative positions?

The patent application does not specify the range within which vehicles can communicate with each other to calculate relative positions accurately.


Original Abstract Submitted

An embodiment vehicle includes a signal transmission part configured to transmit a signal for wireless network connection to an outside of a shaded area where a global positioning system (GPS) signal is not received based on the vehicle having entered the shaded area and a positioning part configured to communicate with another vehicle located outside the shaded area and receiving the signal and to calculate a relative position of the vehi
