20130082873 | Moving Information Determination Apparatus, a Receiver, and a Method Thereby - A moving information determination apparatus includes an ECA (Earth Center Assistant) information acquisition module, an altitude information and position information storage module and a moving information calculation module. The altitude information and position information storage module provides initial position information of the moving information determination apparatus and altitude information of the moving information determination apparatus. The ECA acquisition module obtains a radius of the Earth at the current position of the moving information determination apparatus. The moving information calculation module calculates the current position and/or velocity of the moving information determination apparatus based on the radius of the Earth and a plurality of signals from a plurality of satellites. | 04-04-2013 |
20140062767 | Method and Apparatus for Synchronizing Navigation Data - Method, apparatus, and programs for synchronizing navigation data. A distance between a navigation device and a receiver is estimated. The receiver receives navigation data from the navigation device. A sending time of the navigation data sent from the navigation device is then determined based on the estimated distance between the navigation device and receiver. Synchronization information is computed based on the sending time of the navigation data. The synchronization information is used for synchronizing the navigation data. | 03-06-2014 |
20140062768 | Method and Apparatus for Synchronizing Navigation Data - Method, apparatus, and programs for synchronizing navigation data. A first distance between a first navigation device and a receiver and a second distance between a second navigation device and the receiver are estimated. The receiver receives first and second navigation data from the first and second navigation devices, respectively. Based on a first sending time of the first navigation data sent from the first navigation device and the first and second distances, a second sending time of the second navigation data sent from the second navigation device is then determined. Synchronization information of the second navigation device is computed based on the second sending time of the second navigation data. The synchronization information is used for synchronizing the second navigation data received at the receiver. | 03-06-2014 |
20140062780 | Method and Apparatus for Synchronizing Navigation Data - Method, apparatus, and programs for synchronizing navigation data. First synchronization information is obtained from a receiver. The first synchronization information was used for synchronizing first navigation data received by the receiver from a navigation device. A sending time of second navigation data sent from the navigation device is then determined based on the first synchronization information. Second synchronization information is computed based on the sending time of the navigation data. The second synchronization information is used for synchronizing the second navigation data. | 03-06-2014 |
