POSITIONING METHOD AND RELATED APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18249967 titled 'POSITIONING METHOD AND RELATED APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method and apparatus for providing two positioning services: a common positioning service and a high-precision positioning service. These services are provided to an upper-layer application through permission control and an independent reporting channel design.
- The method and apparatus provide a first, common positioning service and a second, high-precision positioning service.
- The positioning results for a common application are reported with a first, common precision through a common reporting channel.
- The positioning results for a high-precision application are reported with a higher level of precision through a high-precision reporting channel.
- The channels for obtaining the positioning results by the common and high-precision applications are isolated, improving the security of the high-precision positioning result.
- This design allows for satisfying the security requirements of different countries or regions.
Potential Applications
This technology can have various applications in industries that require precise positioning, such as:
- Navigation and mapping systems
- Autonomous vehicles
- Surveying and geolocation services
- Precision agriculture
- Construction and infrastructure development
Problems Solved
The method and apparatus address the following problems:
- Security concerns regarding the high-precision positioning results
- Meeting the security requirements of different countries or regions
- Isolating the channels for obtaining positioning results for different applications
Benefits
The use of this technology offers several benefits:
- Improved security of high-precision positioning results
- Flexibility to provide different levels of precision based on application requirements
- Compatibility with various industries and applications
- Compliance with security requirements of different countries or regions
Original Abstract Submitted
Positioning method and apparatus provide two services: a first, common positioning service and a second, high-precision positioning service to an upper-layer application through permission control and an independent reporting channel design. For a common application, a positioning result can be reported with a first, common precision through a common reporting channel. For a high-precision application, a positioning result with a higher level of precision can be reported through a high-precision reporting channel. In this way, the channel for obtaining the positioning result by the common application is isolated from the channel for obtaining the positioning result by the high-precision application, thus improving output security of the high-precision positioning result and satisfying security requirements of different countries or regions.
