20140139375 | TRACKING ALGORITHM - A method of tracking an entity by monitoring a signal, the signal tending to vary spatially and be generally time-invariant, the entity moving from a first location within an area to a second location within the area, the method being suitable for use when the location of the source of the signal is unknown, the method comprising providing a plurality of particles for use with a particle filter, each particle being associated with a first particle location, a first particle location being an estimate of the first location of the entity, providing an estimate of the motion of the entity between the first location and the second location, using the estimate of the motion and using the particle filter, for each particle, updating the first particle location for that particle thereby producing an updated particle location, the updated particle location being an estimate of the second location of the entity, for each updated particle, estimating at least one expected signal parameter at the updated particle location, measuring a signal parameter at the second location of the entity, assigning a weight to each updated particle depending on the expected signal parameter estimated for that particle and the measured signal parameter, estimating the second location of the entity by determining a function of the weighted updated particles, and inputting the estimated location and measured signal parameter, as a location/parameter data set, to a database. | 05-22-2014 |

20120191340 | NAVIGATION SYSTEMS - A positioning device for use with a navigation device, the positioning device including an input arranged to receive data signals from a source other than a navigation system; a converter arranged to convert the received data signals into positional data; and an output arranged to output the positional data for use by the navigation device. The output outputs the positional data in a communications protocol format, the navigation device being arranged to process the positional data in the communications protocol format. | 07-26-2012 |
20120194387 | TRACKING RADIO SIGNAL SOURCES - A method and system of determining the position of a radio signal transmitter are described. The method includes determining the type of radio signal being transmitted from the radio signal transmitter by analysing radio signal characteristics and correlating different sets of information to determine the position of the radio signal transmitter. Each set of information corresponds to a different relative position of at least one receiver to the transmitter and includes radio signal data derived from radio signals received by the at least one receiver from the transmitter at each respective relative position and positioning data containing information about the position of the at least one receiver at each respective relative position. | 08-02-2012 |
20120194389 | RADIO POSITIONING - Methods and systems are disclosed for radio positioning of a mobile receiver using a virtual positioning reference established by logging a known position of the mobile receiver together with a local time at which a first instance of a predictably repeated code word is received by the mobile receiver from a terrestrial radio signal transmitter. During movement of the mobile receiver from the first known position to a second unknown position, a local clock is used to determine the time difference between when the virtual positioning reference is predicted to receive a second instance of the code word and when the mobile receiver actually receives the second instance of the code word. | 08-02-2012 |
20120196622 | RADIO NAVIGATION - Methods and systems for estimating the position of a radio signal receiver are described. The position of a first stationary radio signal transmitter is estimated using a primary set of positioning resources available to the receiver. Once the position of the first transmitter has been determined, it is added to a secondary set of positioning resources available to the receiver. If the primary set of positioning resources is ineffectual, the secondary set of positioning resources may be used to estimate the position of the receiver. | 08-02-2012 |
20160109551 | RADIO POSITIONING OF A MOBILE RECEIVER USING A VIRTUAL POSITIONING REFERENCE - Methods and systems are disclosed for radio positioning of a vehicle using a virtual positioning reference established by logging a known position of the vehicle together with a local time that a first instance of a predictably repeated code word is received from an opportunistic terrestrial radio transmitter. During movement of the vehicle to a second, unknown position, a local clock is used to determine the time difference between when the virtual positioning reference is predicted to receive a second instance of the code word and when the vehicle actually receives the second instance of the code word, thereby providing positioning information when traditional navigation signals such as GPS are not available. The radio positioning information is then used to initiate an action such as recording the location information for future retrieval by a user, and/or controlling the movements of an autonomous vehicle. | 04-21-2016 |
