Positioning device for calculating position of target location on earth
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12013467B2) discloses a positioning device and a speed measuring device designed to calculate the position and speed, respectively, of a target location on Earth different from the installation location of satellite antennas in a mobile body. The positioning device includes components such as a satellite information acquisition portion, attitude detection portion, positional relationship calculation portion, position calculation portion, and reliability determination portion. These elements work together to calculate the position of the target location based on acquired satellite information and the detected attitude of the mobile body. In cases where the reliability of the attitude is low, the device assumes the installation location of the satellite antennas as the target location for calculation purposes.
Furthermore, the patent also covers a computer program product stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium that enables the calculation of the position and speed at the target location using similar principles as the physical devices. The program includes instructions for acquiring satellite information, detecting the attitude of the mobile body, calculating positional relationships, determining reliability, and ultimately calculating the position or speed based on the acquired data. In situations where the reliability of the detected attitude or angular speed is low, the program assumes the speed at the installation location of the satellite antennas as the speed at the target location. These innovative devices and software solutions offer a sophisticated method for accurately determining the position and speed of a target location on Earth, enhancing the capabilities of satellite antenna systems in mobile bodies.
