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.
Claims24
A method for implementing login protection to a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver, said method comprising:
- authenticating a geospatial data collection device which is configured to be communicatively coupled with said GNSS receiver;
- determining that said geospatial data collection device is authorized to collect data from a geographic region in which said GNSS receiver is located;
- and
- permitting said geospatial data collection device to access a control interface of said GNSS receiver.
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 said GNSS receiver;
- verifying said geospatial data collection device using said decryption key;
- and
- permitting said geospatial data collection device to access a control interface of said GNSS receiver.
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 said GNSS receiver;
- verifying that said geographic region identification corresponds to a current geographic position of said GNSS receiver;
- and
- permitting said geospatial data collection device to access a control interface of said GNSS receiver.
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 said GNSS receiver;
- 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.
