  • Patent number: 7751827
    Abstract: A method of estimating the location of a mobile device, comprising the steps of: collecting location information; selecting at least one of a plurality of different location methods to provide a location estimate; and providing a location estimate based on the at least one selected location method.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20080270204
    Abstract: Records are produced describing how a passenger uses a transport system in relation to other passengers. A transport server (1001) receives (203, 401) an identifier of a requested drop-off point and determines (204, 205, 403, 407) an identifier of a requested pick-up point. It also determines (405, 413, 803) a list of stopping point identifiers, which list includes the identifiers of the requested pick-up and drop-off points and constitutes an itinerary for a transport vehicle. A list of those passengers is determined (804) that have requested transport in the same vehicle. For each passenger on the list of passengers, there is determined (801, 804, 901, 904) which passenger-specific group of legs between stopping points belong to the transport requested by that passenger, and calculated (802, 805, 806, 807, 808, 902, 904, 905, 906, 907) a record that represents the relation between the passenger-specific group of legs and those other groups of legs that are specific to other passengers.

  • Patent number: 7412207
    Abstract: There is disclosed a method of determining the path of a signal between a donor network element and a remote station, the donor network element being associated with at least one repeater, comprising the steps of: receiving at the remote station a plurality of signals associated with a plurality of network elements; calculating an estimate of the distance between the remote station and each network element, including an estimate of the distance between the remote station and each repeater associated with the donor network element; determining the one of said estimates of the distance between the donor network element and at least one, associated repeater and remote station which most closely approximates to the distance between the other network elements and the remote station; and selecting that donor network element/repeater to be the source of the signal.

  • Publication number: 20040132464
    Abstract: A method of providing information regarding a location of a mobile user of a communication system is provided. The method comprises a step of performing measurement for provision of input data for a location calculation function. The method includes a step of analyzing the measurements to identify suspicious measurements. The method also comprises a step of deciding selected measurements for use by the location calculation function. The method also includes a step of calculating a location estimate for a mobile user based on the selected measurements.
