  • Patent number: 8346277
    Abstract: A wireless communication terminal having a wireless communication unit and a display is able to receive location information about the position of the terminal, remote terminal s, and at least one third location. The terminal obtains route information from the terminal to the at least one third location, from the terminal to the remote terminals, and from the remote terminals to the at least one third location, and displays travel routes between the locations. The terminal also obtains travel information comprising speed, estimated travel time, and travel direction from the terminal and the remote terminals, and displays travel progress of the terminal and the remote terminals.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 20, 2008
    Date of Patent: January 1, 2013
    Assignee: LG Electronics Inc.

  • Patent number: 7177600
    Abstract: Disclosed are an apparatus and method for testing performance of a mobile station having a global positioning system (GPS) mounted therein. The method provides for virtually changing parameters requited for a registration at a base station so that the mobile station excludes the registration and directly enters a test state with an idle mode, and testing the performance of the mobile station in the idle mode test state. Accordingly, no re-boot is necessary to register with the base station upon completion of the test.

  • Patent number: 6847325
    Abstract: A position determination system of a hybrid method, which is capable of complementing the problems of a position determination method, in which a global positioning system (GPS) is used, and a position determination method, in which a mobile communication signal is used, by combining the above two methods with each other, is provided. Also, it is possible to improve the reliability and the correctness in determining the position of a mobile communication terminal using a dispersing type hybrid position calculation method and a centralized hybrid position calculation method.
