  • Method and system for implementing navigation using bounded geographic regions
    Patent number: 9591442
    Abstract: A method and system for creating Bounded Geographic Regions (“BGRs”) in a navigation system using BGRs is presented. Various methods for creating BGRs are disclosed. Additionally, the implications of minimizing the area of a BGR is discussed and disclosed. The method and system allows for easier convergence for creation of BGRs.

  • Method and system for navigation using bounded geographic regions
    Patent number: RE47107
    Abstract: A navigation system containing a software core, which uses bounded geographic regions (“BGRs”) and Node Pairs to explicitly optimize, in two dimensions, for user desired dependent variables, by analyzing variance due to standard and user-defined independent variables. The invention stores Node Pair data, and can use error function, feedback, and ANOVA/MANOVA to create a tightly convergent navigation solution.
