Culled Satellite Ephemeris Information Based On Limiting A Span Of An Inverted Cone For Locating Satellite In-Range Determinations

US Patent:
6985105, Jan 10, 2006
Filed:
Mar 16, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/080537
Inventors:
Lance Douglas Pitt - Seattle WA, US
Leslie Johann Lamprecht - Seattle WA, US
Jeffrey Thomas Martin - Seattle WA, US
Assignee:
TeleCommunication Systems, Inc. - Annapolis MD
International Classification:
H04B 7/185
US Classification:
34235715, 34235709
Abstract:
Locating satellites (e. g. , GPS) are culled into a sub-plurality based largely on dwell time within an inverted cone above a relevant site in communication with a wireless device. A first inverted cone having a first base angle is defined above a first site, a second inverted cone having a second base angle is defined above a second site. If the second site is farther from an equator of Earth than the first site, then the second inverted cone is made to have a base angle larger than a base angle of the first inverted cone. If the first site is farther from the equator of Earth than the second site, then the first inverted cone is made to have a base angle larger than a base angle of the second inverted cone. The span of the inverted cone over the site closest to the equator may be limited.

Culled Satellite Ephemeris Information For Quick, Accurate Assisted Locating Satellite Location Determination For Cell Site Antennas

US Patent:
7019690, Mar 28, 2006
Filed:
Mar 16, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/080518
Inventors:
Lance Douglas Pitt - Seattle WA, US
Leslie Johann Lamprecht - Seattle WA, US
Jeffrey Thomas Martin - Seattle WA, US
Assignee:
TeleCommunication Systems, Inc. - Annapolis MD
International Classification:
H04B 7/185
US Classification:
34235715, 34235709
Abstract:
Locating satellites (e. g. , GPS) are culled into a preferred group having a longest dwell time based on a time passing through an ellipsoid arc path through a cone of space, and communicated to mobile devices within a particular region (e. g. , serviced by a particular base station). The culled locating satellites may select those visible, or more preferably those locating satellites currently within a cone of space above the relevant base station are selected for communication by a mobile device within the service area of the base station. The inverted cone of space may be defined for each antenna structure for any given base station, and each has 360 degrees of coverage, or less than 360 degrees of coverage, with relevant locating satellites. Thus, cell sites may be specifically used as reference points for culling the ephemeris information used to expedite Assisted GPS location determinations.

Culled Satellite Ephemeris Information Based On Limiting A Span Of An Inverted Cone For Locating Satellite In-Range Determinations

US Patent:

Prioritized List Of Potential Culled Satellite Ephemeris Information For Quick, Accurate Assisted Locating Satellite Location Determination

US Patent:
7154438, Dec 26, 2006
Filed:
Mar 16, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/080538
Inventors:
Lance Douglas Pitt - Seattle WA, US
Leslie Johann Lamprecht - Seattle WA, US
Jeffrey Thomas Martin - Seattle WA, US
Assignee:
TeleCommunication System, Inc. - Annapolis MD
International Classification:
H04B 7/185
US Classification:
34235715, 34235909
Abstract:
Locating satellites (e. g. , GPS) are culled into a preferred group having a longest dwell time based on a time passing through an ellipsoid arc path through a cone of space, and communicated to mobile devices within a particular region (e. g. , serviced by a particular base station). The locating satellites may be culled into a prioritized list. Each satellite is assigned an order of precedence based on a remaining dwell time within a primary inverted cone. Thus, a number ‘N’ of satellite's ephemeris data may be used, along with a preferred ‘order of precedence’ for secondary satellites to be used as backups as necessary.

Culled Satellite Ephemeris Information Based On Accurate Distance In Range Calculations, For Quick, Accurate Assisted Locating Satellite Location Determination

US Patent:
7183973, Feb 27, 2007
Filed:
Mar 16, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/080517
Inventors:
Lance Douglas Pitt - Seattle WA, US
Leslie Johann Lamprecht - Seattle WA, US
Jeffrey Thomas Martin - Seattle WA, US
Assignee:
TeleCommunication Systems, Inc. - Annapolis MD
International Classification:
H04B 7/185
US Classification:
34235715, 34235709
Abstract:
Locating satellites (e. g. , GPS) are culled into a preferred group having a longest dwell time based on a time passing through an ellipsoid arc path through a cone of space, and communicated to mobile devices within a particular region (e. g. , serviced by a particular base station). The culled locating satellites may select those visible, or more preferably those locating satellites currently within a cone of space above the relevant base station are selected for communication by a mobile device within the service area of the base station. Alternatively, a minimum set of locating satellites may be selected based on, e. g. , being not only within an arbitrary cone of space normal to the base station, but also projected to remain within that cone of space for the longest period of time, i. e. , having the longest dwell time, based on a calculated ellipsoid arc path through a cone of space.

Other Cell Sites Used As Reference Point To Cull Satellite Ephemeris Information For Quick, Accurate Assisted Locating Satellite Location Determination

US Patent:
7411546, Aug 12, 2008
Filed:
Jul 11, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/822925
Inventors:
Lance Douglas Pitt - Seattle WA, US
Leslie Johann Lamprecht - Seattle WA, US
Jeffrey Thomas Martin - Seattle WA, US
Assignee:
TeleCommunication Systems, Inc. - Annapolis MD
International Classification:
H04B 7/185
US Classification:
34235715, 34235709
Abstract:
A geometric shape (e. g. , an inverted cone) is computed above a given ‘reference point’ defined from locations of cell sites OTHER than the cell site currently servicing a given wireless device, to provide a best-guess as to a near-future location of a mobile wireless device. Locating satellites (e. g. , GPS) are culled into a preferred group and communicated to mobile devices within a particular region (e. g. , serviced by a particular base station). The culled locating satellites may select visible locating satellites, or more preferably those locating satellites currently within a cone of space above the relevant base station, for communication by a mobile device within the service area of a base station. Thus, cell sites other than the one in use by the relevant wireless device may be specifically used to determine a reference point for culling the ephemeris information used to expedite Assisted GPS location determinations.

Cellular Augmented Radar/Laser Detector

US Patent:
7471236, Dec 30, 2008
Filed:
Apr 10, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/400278
Inventors:
Lance Douglas Pitt - Kent WA, US
Sarah Jean Lawrence - Renton WA, US
Daniel D. DeLapp - Woodinville WA, US
Assignee:
TeleCommunication Systems, Inc. - Annapolis MD
International Classification:
G01S 13/00
G01S 7/36
US Classification:
342 57, 342 20
Abstract:
A radar/laser emission detector is augmented with a cellular communications capability to provide the capability to share emission detection information amongst drivers to give other drivers even more advanced warning. A network of a plurality of cellular augmented radar/laser emission detector devices may be formed, each having the capability to source the location of radar or laser emission detections to others requesting access to such information, and each being warned when within a proximity of a recent radar or laser emission detection reported by at least one of the plurality of hybrid radar/laser detector devices.
