Method and Apparatus for Determining a Parking Position of a Bike - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18311718 titled 'Method and Apparatus for Determining a Parking Position of a Bike
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method and apparatus for determining the parking position of a vehicle using a GNSS receiver.
- The method involves detecting the vehicle's positions in a sequence and storing them in memory, along with associated positioning errors.
- When the vehicle is transferred into a parked state, the final position is detected along with its associated positioning error.
- The parking position of the vehicle is determined by comparing the distance between one of the stored positions and the final position, plus the associated positioning error, with the final positioning error.
- If the distance is smaller than the final positioning error or a scaled version of it, the stored position is determined as the parking position.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method and an apparatus for determining a parking position of a vehicle is disclosed. The method includes (i) detecting first positions of the vehicle in a temporally successive sequence by a GNSS receiver and storing these positions in a memory, wherein an associated first positioning error is stored for each of the positions, (ii) detecting a final position of the vehicle with an associated final positioning error by the GNSS receiver in response to the vehicle being transferred into a parked state, and (iii) determining the parking position of the vehicle, wherein one of the first positions of the vehicle stored in the memory is determined as the parking position of the vehicle when its distance from the last position plus the associated first positioning error is smaller than the last positioning error or a last positioning error scaled using a specified scaling factor.
