USER INTERACTIVE ACTUAL TIME NETWORKED SURVEY SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method for providing user interactive actual time networked surveying, said method comprising:
- establishing a network connection between a survey instrument and a central computing device;
establishing a user session with the central computing device, the user session associated with the survey instrument;
transmitting, to the central computing device, survey measurement data obtained with the survey instrument;
receiving, at the central computing device, correction data from a virtual reference station (VRS);
allowing said user session to direct the processing of the received survey measurement data including one or more real time kinematic calculations at the central computing device; and
providing the output of the processing of the received survey measurement data to one or more authorized devices having a connection to said central computing device, said output provided in a concrete and tangible format.

Abstract
A method for providing user interactive actual time networked surveying is disclosed. In one embodiment, a network connection is established between a survey instrument and a central computing device. In addition, a user session is established with the central computing device. Survey measurement data obtained with the survey instrument is transmitted to the central computing device. In addition, correction data from a virtual reference station (VRS) is received at the central computing device. The user session is allowed to direct the processing of the received survey measurement data including one or more real time kinematic calculations at the central computing device. The output of the processing of the received survey measurement data is provided to one or more authorized devices having a connection to the central computing device, the output provided in a concrete and tangible format.

22. A user interactive actual time networked survey system comprising:
-
at least one user selectable survey device from a pool of selectable survey devices; a measurement data receiver module configured to receive raw measurement data from said at least one user selectable survey device and correction data from at least one virtual reference station (VRS) in actual time; a measurement data processing module for processing said raw measurement data in conjunction with said correction data in actual time to generate actual time corrected measurement data; and a graphical user interface (GUI) for presenting said actual time corrected measurement data in a user understandable format. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
