US 2024/0230925 A9 · SEAMLESS COMPLEX POSITIONING METHOD USING HETEROGENEOUS POSITIONING TECHNIQUES AND POSITIONING CONTROL APPARATUS

Abstract

Disclosed is a seamless complex positioning method using heterogeneous positioning techniques, the method including: performing, by a positioning control apparatus, satellite signal-based positioning in an area where a satellite signal is received; determining, by the apparatus, whether a first position of a mobile terminal determined using satellite signal-based positioning is close to a shaded area; determining, by the apparatus, a non-satellite signal-based positioning scheme supported in the shaded area when the first position is close to the shaded area; determining, by the apparatus, a second position of the mobile terminal while performing satellite signal-based positioning and positioning according to the non-satellite signal-based positioning scheme simultaneously when the first position is close to the shaded area; and stopping, by the apparatus, satellite signal-based positioning and performing only positioning according to the non-satellite signal-based positioning scheme when the second position is inside the shaded area.

A seamless complex positioning method using heterogeneous positioning techniques, the method comprising:

performing, by a positioning control apparatus, satellite signal-based positioning in an area in which a satellite signal is received;
determining, by the positioning control apparatus, whether a first position of a mobile terminal determined using satellite signal-based positioning is close to a particular shaded area;
determining, by the positioning control apparatus, a non-satellite signal-based positioning scheme supported in the particular shaded area when the first position is close to the particular shaded area;
determining, by the positioning control apparatus, a second position of the mobile terminal while performing satellite signal-based positioning and positioning according to the non-satellite signal-based positioning scheme simultaneously when the first position is close to the particular shaded area;
and
stopping, by the positioning control apparatus, satellite signal-based positioning and performing only positioning according to the non-satellite signal-based positioning scheme when the second position is inside the particular shaded area.
