Rhythmic Collection of Positioning Information - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18304104 titled 'Rhythmic Collection of Positioning Information
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application describes methods, machine-readable mediums, and systems for providing location services. - The method involves receiving intermittent position fixes for an electronic device's trajectory. - The position fixes are matched to points on a path indicated in map data. - A distance for the trajectory is computed using distance information from the map data. - The innovation aims to improve location services by accurately determining the distance traveled by an electronic device.
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, non-transitory machine-readable mediums, and system to provide location services are described. In an embodiment, a method provides receiving at least two position fixes for a trajectory of an electronic device, where the at least two position fixes are obtained intermittently, matching the at least two position fixes to points on a path indicated in map data, and computing a distance for the trajectory using distance information using the map data.
