BAROMETER CALIBRATION IN A LOCATION SHARING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18347287 Titled 'BAROMETER CALIBRATION IN A LOCATION SHARING SYSTEM'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method, system, and device for calibrating the barometer of a client device. A server computer collects historical data, including location and atmospheric pressure data, from multiple client devices over time. Using this data, an equation system is solved to determine unknown parameters, including the barometer bias of a specific client device. The first client device is then calibrated using this barometer bias.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, and devices for calibrating a barometer of a client device. A server computer accesses historical data including location data, and atmospheric pressure data collected from a plurality of client devices over a period of time. An equation system defined by the historical data is solved. The equation system has a plurality of unknown parameters, the plurality of unknown parameters comprising a barometer bias of a first client device among the plurality of client devices. The first client device is calibrated using the barometer bias.
