iPhone將可以做車輛定位之用

由USPTO公開資料發現,Apple正在申請一個可以把iPhone結合車輛定位的專利,雖然 iPhone具有GPS的功能,但要鎖定衛星訊號往往需要時間,且資訊可能不夠精準。而這個新專利,可以讓用戶選擇使用車輛的GPS定位,如果定位訊號遺失,使用者可用最後探測到的位置作為目前所在點,進行位置推算(dead reckoning)。

Title : SYNCHRONIZING MOBILE AND VEHICLE DEVICES
Filing Date : 2012.5.14.
Application Date : 2012.9.6.
Abstract :
Location information is received at a mobile device from the memory of a vehicle device. The mobile device is updated based on the location information. Sensor data is received from at least one sensor measuring movement of the mobile device, and an estimated location of the mobile device is calculated based at least in part on the location information and the sensor data.
