  • Heading, velocity, and position estimation with vehicle sensors, mobile device, and GNSS inputs
    Patent number: 9250083
    Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to determining position of a motorized vehicle using wireless techniques. Methods, apparatus and systems are disclosed. A method can include: receiving absolute positioning data; receiving, from a mobile device, at least one of gyroscope data and odometry data; receiving, from a vehicle, at least one of gyroscope data and odometry data; initializing at least a heading to determine a relative path, wherein the relative path is based at least in part on the received data from the mobile device and the vehicle, wherein the received data comprises gyroscope data and odometry data; and shifting the relative path to an estimated path, wherein the estimated path is based at least in part on the absolute positioning data.
    Type: Grant

  • Mobile device power management while providing location services
    Patent number: 9191897
    Abstract: The disclosure is related to managing power consumption of a user equipment (UE) while providing location services. An aspect determines whether a given sensor configuration of a plurality of sensor configurations minimizes power consumption of the UE, wherein a sensor configuration comprises a set of values for a set of one or more sensor parameters controllable by the UE, and, based upon the determining, sets the set of one or more sensor parameters to the given sensor configuration.
