First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for implementing login protection to a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver, said method comprising:
- accessing a decryption key which is uniquely associated with at least one geospatial data collection device configured to be communicatively coupled with a second device comprising said GNSS receiver;
verifying said geospatial data collection device using said decryption key;
permitting said geospatial data collection device to access a control interface of said GNSS receiver;
receiving an identification which is assigned to said geospatial data collection device and a product identification which is assigned to said GNSS receiver; and
using said identification and said product identification to identify said decryption key and a second decryption key; and
using said second decryption key to derive a geographic region identification from said identification.

Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention recite a method and system for implementing login protection and prevention to a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver. In one embodiment, a geospatial data collection device which is communicatively coupled with a GNSS receiver is authenticated. It is then determined that the geospatial data collection device is authorized to collect data from a geographic region in which the GNSS receiver is located. The geospatial data collection device is then permitted access to a control interface of the GNSS receiver.

5. A method for implementing login protection to a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver, said method comprising:
-
determining a geographic region identification descriptive of a geospatial data collection device configured to be communicatively coupled with a second device comprising said GNSS receiver; verifying that said geographic region identification corresponds to a current geographic position of said GNSS receiver;
permitting said geospatial data collection device to access a control interface of said GNSS receiver; andreceiving an identification which is assigned to said geospatial data collection device and a product identification which is assigned to said GNSS receiver; using said identification and said product identification to identify a decryption key and a second decryption key; and using said second decryption key to derive a geographic region identification from said identification. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8)
comparing said geographic region identification with said current geographic position.

9. A system for implementing login protection to a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver, said system comprising:
-
an authenticating component coupled with a communication interface for authenticating a geospatial data collection device which is configured to be communicatively coupled with a second device comprising said GNSS receiver, said authenticating component comprising; an identification receiver for receiving an identification from said geospatial data collection device and wherein said identification is assigned to said geospatial data collection device; a product identification receiver for receiving a product identification from said geospatial data collection device and wherein said product identification is assigned to said GNSS receiver; and a decryption key identifier coupled with said identification receiver and with said product identification receiver, said decryption key identifier for identifying a decryption key based upon said identification and said product identification; a geographic location verifier coupled with said authenticating component, said geographic location verifier for determining that said geospatial data collection device is authorized to collect data from a geographic region in which said GNSS receiver is located; and a control interface enabler coupled with said authenticating component and with said geographic location verifier, said control interface enabler for permitting said geospatial data collection device to access a control interface of said GNSS receiver; and a geographic region identification deriver for deriving said geographic region from said identification using a second decryption key which is identified by said decryption key identifier. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)
