POSITIONING OF TERMINAL DEVICE GROUPS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240298291 titled 'POSITIONING OF TERMINAL DEVICE GROUPS
Simplified Explanation: The patent application aims to estimate the locations of a group of terminal devices by exchanging information using group location service related messages towards the terminal devices.
- Terminal devices in a group exchange information to estimate their locations.
- At least one transmission-reception point or corresponding apparatus is involved in the process.
- An apparatus providing location services facilitates the exchange of information.
- The goal is to accurately determine the locations of the terminal devices within the group.
- The method involves the use of group location service related messages for communication.
Potential Applications: 1. Location-based services for mobile devices. 2. Asset tracking in logistics and transportation. 3. Emergency response systems for quick location identification. 4. Geofencing applications for security and monitoring. 5. Indoor navigation systems for large facilities like shopping malls or airports.
Problems Solved: 1. Difficulty in accurately determining the locations of multiple terminal devices in a group. 2. Lack of efficient communication methods for location estimation. 3. Challenges in real-time tracking of devices within a network. 4. Inadequate precision in location-based services. 5. Limited scalability of existing location estimation techniques.
Benefits: 1. Enhanced accuracy in determining the locations of terminal devices. 2. Improved efficiency in communication for location estimation. 3. Real-time tracking capabilities for better monitoring. 4. Increased precision in location-based services. 5. Scalability to accommodate a large number of devices within a network.
Commercial Applications: Location-based marketing, fleet management, smart city infrastructure, IoT devices, and geolocation services can benefit from this technology.
Questions about Group Location Services: 1. How does the exchange of group location service related messages contribute to accurate location estimation? 2. What role does the apparatus providing location services play in facilitating communication among terminal devices for location estimation?
Original Abstract Submitted
to estimate locations of a group of terminal devices, at least one transmission-reception point, or corresponding apparatus, terminal devices in the group and an apparatus providing location services exchange information using group location service related messages towards the terminal devices.
