First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, by a mobile device and from a radionavigation subsystem of the mobile device, a velocity estimate, the velocity estimate being determined based on radio frequency (RF) signals;
determining a stroke rate of a swimmer wearing the mobile device on a limb;
determining a relative velocity based on the stroke rate, an estimated length of the limb, and a direction of travel of the mobile device, the relative velocity being a velocity of the mobile device relative to a torso of the swimmer; and
correcting the velocity of the mobile device based on the relative velocity.

Abstract
Methods, systems and computer program products for radionavigation for swimmers are described. A mobile device configured to estimate a location using radio frequency signals can estimate a position of the swimmer when the mobile device is worn on a limb of the swimmer and periodically submerged. The mobile device can supply auxiliary information to a radionavigation subsystem to correct a navigation solution affected by limb motion of the swimmer and affected by the periodic submersion of the mobile device.
