APPARATUSES AND METHODS FOR TRACKING A NAVIGATION RECEIVER
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A machine-readable medium that stores a plurality of machine-executable components for tracking a navigation receiver, said machine-executable components comprising:
- a satellite positioning component that calculates a first position associated with said navigation receiver at a first time;
an inertial positioning component that calculates a second position associated with said navigation receiver at said first time; and
a combination positioning component that provides a reference position, that combines said first position and said second position into a third position based on distances between said first position, said second position, and said reference position, and that locates said navigation receiver according to said third position.

Abstract
A satellite positioning component calculates a first position associated with a navigation receiver at a first time. An inertial positioning component calculates a second position associated with the navigation receiver at the first time. A combination positioning component provides a reference position, combines the first position and the second position into a third position based on distances among the first position, the second position, and the reference position, and locates the navigation receiver according to the third position.
