Method and system for normalizing and comparing GPS data from multiple vehicles
First Claim
1. A method of communicating, comprising:
- receiving, from a first computing device by a receiver of a server, first data containing GPS information from a first vehicle in a first format;
receiving, from a second computing device by the receiver of the server, second data containing GPS information from a second vehicle in a second format;
processing, by a processor of the server, at least one of the first and second data to obtain normalized data containing GPS information used for synchronized display of positions of the first vehicle and the second vehicle; and
transmitting, by a transmitter of the server, the normalized data to a display computer for simultaneous and synchronized display of the positions of the first vehicle and the second vehicle.

Abstract
A system, method, and computer program product which normalizes GPS data obtained from multiple vehicles. At a server, GPS information is received from first and second vehicles in first and second formats. The GPS data is normalized for synchronized display of positions of the first and second vehicles, and transmitted to a computer in order to display simultaneously the synchronized positions of the first and second vehicles. An end user of the system may search for GPS logs of other people and simultaneously display the information resulting from the search with his or her own GPS information. The system may also provide for an automatic upload from a mobile device of the GPS data captured on a circuit or other location.

10. A system comprising a first non-transitory computer readable medium and a second non-transitory computer readable medium,
the first non-transitory computer readable medium including computer code for causing a mobile computing device to communicate with a processing device of a server and which causes the mobile computing device to perform the steps of: -
capturing GPS information from a first vehicle in a first format; and uploading the GPS information from the first vehicle, the second non-transitory computer readable medium including computer code which causes the server to perform the steps of; processing, by the processing device of the server, the GPS information from the first vehicle in order to display a position of the first vehicle; and transmitting, by a transmitter of the server, the GPS information of the first vehicle which has been processed to a display computer to display a position of the first vehicle, wherein the second non-transitory computer readable medium further includes computer code for causing the processing by the processing device of the server to normalize at least one of the GPS information from the first vehicle and GPS information from a second vehicle in order to obtain GPS information used for synchronized display of positions of the first vehicle and the second vehicle; and for transmitting by the transmitter of the server the GPS information from the second vehicle in order to obtain a synchronized and simultaneous display of positions of the first vehicle and the second vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12)

13. A system for communicating, comprising:
-
a receiver of a server to receive from a first computing device first data containing GPS information from a first vehicle in a first format, and to receive from a second computing device second data containing GPS information from a second vehicle in a second format; a processor of the server configured to process at least one of the first and second data to obtain normalized data containing GPS information used for synchronized display of positions of the first vehicle and the second vehicle; and a transmitter of the server to transmit the normalized data to a display computer for simultaneous and synchronized display of the positions of the first vehicle and the second vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
