  • Patent number: 9926715
    Abstract: A deployable sheltering assembly for a vehicle includes a set of four supports and a panel, which is flexible. Each support comprises a rod that is coupled to and extends perpendicularly from a plate. The rod comprises a plurality of nested sections and is selectively extensible. The rod is configured to extend from the plate adjacent to a side of the vehicle. A first coupler is coupled to a top of the rod. Each of a set of four second couplers is coupled proximate to a respective corner of the panel. The plates are configured to position singly under the wheels of the vehicle. The supports are positioned singly proximate to each wheel of the vehicle. Each second coupler is positioned to couple to a respective first coupler to couple the panel to the supports so that the panel is configured to shelter the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 9733361
    Abstract: Techniques for managing power consumption of a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver of a mobile device are provided. These techniques include a method that includes deriving a GNSS search window for the GNSS receiver based on a position uncertainty (PUNC) and a time uncertainty (TUNC), selecting a GNSS search mode based on the GNSS search window and resources available for searching for signals from GNSS satellite vehicles (SVs), wherein an estimated power consumption associated with execution of a GNSS search associated with the GNSS search mode does not exceed a power consumption limit specified for the GNSS receiver conducting the GNSS search using the GNSS search mode, and estimating a position of the mobile device.

  • Patent number: 9677887
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to estimating an initial position and navigation state associated with a vehicle using odometry and/or other data obtained from the vehicle to support dead reckoning at start-up. In particular, a last known position and last known heading at a first odometer value associated with the vehicle may be stored and compared to a current odometer value after linking a mobile device with the vehicle. The last known position and last known heading may be used to estimate the initial position and navigation state associated with the vehicle based on a difference between the compared odometer values. For example, the estimated initial position and/or navigation state may substantially correspond to the last known position and last known heading if the difference between the odometer values indicates no change, or a non-zero difference may define a radius to limit an estimated error associated with the initial position estimate.

  • Publication number: 20170131410
    Abstract: A mobile device may use one or more outlier detectors to detect likelihoods that an outlier condition exists for a satellite positioning system (SPS) position fix. In some implementations, a method may comprise checking a position fix of a SPS receiver for consistency with assistance data used to generate a position fix. The method may further comprise determining whether to generate a new position fix using less than all of the assistance data based, at least in part, on results of the checking of the position fix.

  • Patent number: 9423505
    Abstract: A mobile device may use one or more outlier detectors to detect likelihoods that an outlier condition exists for a satellite positioning system (SPS) position fix. In some implementations, an outlier detector may compare a computed position fix to an element of assistance data to generate an outlier likelihood. A decision to perform a recovery operation may be made based, at least in part, on a generated outlier likelihood. In some implementations, a computed reliability of the position fix may also be considered in making a recovery decision.
