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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240045073 titled 'ENHANCED NAVIGATION MODE WITH LOCATION DETECTION AND MAP LAYER SWITCHING

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of this patent application describes a method to enhance the navigation function of navigation/map applications or systems when GNSS signals (Global Navigation Satellite System) are weak or sporadic. The method involves monitoring the position of a user equipment (UE) based on GNSS communication and using multiple map layers associated with a map. When the GNSS communication is below a certain threshold, the UE detects if its position corresponds to a predefined location and switches to monitoring its position using a different map layer associated with that location.

  • The patent application proposes a method to improve navigation in situations where GNSS signals are weak or sporadic.
  • The user equipment (UE) monitors its position based on GNSS communication and multiple map layers.
  • When the GNSS communication is below a threshold, the UE detects if its position corresponds to a predefined location.
  • If the position corresponds to the predefined location, the UE switches to monitoring its position using a different map layer associated with that location.

Potential Applications:

  • Navigation and map applications or systems that rely on GNSS signals could benefit from this technology.
  • It can be used in areas with weak GNSS signals, such as urban canyons or dense forests.
  • Emergency services and search and rescue operations could use this technology to navigate in challenging environments.

Problems Solved:

  • Weak or sporadic GNSS signals can lead to inaccurate or unreliable navigation.
  • This technology addresses the problem of navigating in areas with weak GNSS signals.
  • It provides an alternative method to determine the position of a user equipment when GNSS signals are not sufficient.

Benefits:

  • Enhanced navigation accuracy and reliability in areas with weak GNSS signals.
  • Improved user experience in navigation/map applications or systems.
  • Increased safety and efficiency in emergency services and search and rescue operations.


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.
