Abstract
Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for detecting one or more trigger condition on a mobile platform and activating an offline calibration of one or more sensors on the mobile platform in response to the one or more trigger conditions. Additionally, an operational profile of the one or more sensors may be updated based on the offline condition. In one example, the trigger conditions include one or more of a time condition, a temperature condition, a motion condition or a system event condition.
Claims25
A mobile platform comprising:
- a controller to conduct communications;
- one or more sensors, wherein the one or more sensors include a temperature sensor, a motion sensor, and a magnetometer;
- a status monitor, in communication with the one or more sensors, to detect one or more trigger conditions on the mobile platform, wherein the one or more trigger conditions are to be set in a policy database and include a time condition, temperature condition, a motion condition, and a system event condition, and wherein the status monitor is to control the initiation of one or more of a hard and soft iron compensation procedure or a hard iron temperature compensation procedure based on the one or more trigger conditions;
- a calibration manager to activate an offline calibration of the one or more sensors in response to the one or more trigger conditions;
- and
- a sensor manager to update an operational profile of the one or more sensors based on the offline calibration, wherein the sensor manager is to update the operational profile in an operational profile database to indicate a compensation to be applied to the one or more sensors in real-time in order to offset measurement errors.
An apparatus comprising:
- a status monitor, in communication with one or more sensors, to detect one or more trigger conditions on a mobile platform, wherein the one or more sensors include a temperature sensor, a motion sensor, and a magnetometer, and the one or more trigger conditions are to be set in a policy database and include a time condition, temperature condition, a motion condition, and a system event condition, and wherein the status monitor is to control the initiation of one or more of a hard and soft iron compensation procedure or a hard iron temperature compensation procedure based on the one or more trigger conditions;
- a calibration manager to activate an offline calibration of one or more sensors on the mobile platform in response to the one or more trigger conditions;
- and
- a sensor manager to update an operational profile of the one or more sensors based on the offline calibration, wherein the sensor manager is to update the operational profile in an operational profile database to indicate a compensation to be applied to the one or more sensors in real-time in order to offset measurement errors.
A method comprising:
- detecting one or more trigger conditions on a mobile platform, wherein the one or more trigger conditions are set in a policy database and include a time condition, temperature condition, a motion condition, and a system event condition, and wherein the one or more trigger conditions control the initiation of one or more of a hard and soft iron compensation procedure or a hard iron temperature compensation procedure;
- activating an offline calibration of one or more sensors on the mobile platform in response to the one or more trigger conditions, wherein the one or more sensors include a temperature sensor, a motion sensor, and a magnetometer;
- and
- updating an operational profile of the one or more sensors based on the offline calibration, wherein the operational profile is updated in an operational profile database to indicate a compensation to be applied to the one or more sensors in real-time in order to offset measurement errors.
At least one non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising a set of instructions, which when executed by a mobile platform, cause the mobile platform to:
- detect one or more trigger conditions on the mobile platform, wherein the one or more trigger conditions are to be set in a policy database and include a time condition, temperature condition, a motion condition, and a system event condition, and wherein the one or more trigger conditions are to control the initiation of one or more of a hard and soft iron compensation procedure or a hard iron temperature compensation procedure;
- activate an offline calibration of one or more sensors on the mobile platform in response to the one or more trigger conditions, wherein the one or more sensors include a temperature sensor, a motion sensor, and a magnetometer;
- and
- update an operational profile of the one or more sensors based on the offline calibration, wherein the operational profile us updated in an operational profile database to indicate a compensation to be applied to the one or more sensors in real-time in order to offset measurement errors.
