Abstract
A method and apparatus for generating and distributing satellite tracking data to a remote receiver is disclosed. The method for includes extracting from memory at least a portion of long-term-satellite-tracking data, generating formatted data from the at least a portion of long-term-satellite-tracking data, the formatting data being in a format supported by the remote receiver, applying security to the formatted data to prevent unauthorized access to and/or tampering with the at least a portion of long-term-satellite-tracking data; and transmitting the formatted data to the remote receiver.
Claims44
A method for distributing long term satellite tracking data to a remote receiver comprising:
- extracting from memory at least a portion of long-term-satellite-tracking data;
- generating formatted data from the at least a portion of long-term-satellite-tracking data, the formatting data being in a format supported by the remote receiver;
- applying security to the formatted data to prevent unauthorized access to the at least a portion of long-term-satellite-tracking data;
- and
- transmitting the formatted data to the remote receiver.
A method for obtaining at a remote receiver long-term-satellite-tracking data distributed over a communications link, the method comprising:
- receiving at the remote receiver formatted data, wherein the formatted data comprises at least a portion of long-term-satellite-tracking data that is extracted from memory of a device remote from the remote receiver, formatted in a format supported by the remote receiver, and applied with security to prevent unauthorized access to the at least a portion of long-term-satellite-tracking data;
- and
- removing the security from the formatted data.
An apparatus for distributing long term satellite tracking data to a remote receiver comprising:
- memory for storing long-term-satellite-tracking data and executable instructions;
- and
- logic for executing the executable instructions to:
- extract from the memory at least a portion of long-term-satellite-tracking data;
- generate formatted data from the at least a portion of long-term-satellite-tracking data, the formatting data being in a format supported by the remote receiver;
- apply security to the formatted data to prevent unauthorized access to the at least a portion of long-term-satellite-tracking data;
- and
- transmit the formatted data to the remote receiver.
A method for distributing long term satellite tracking data to a remote receiver comprising:
- extracting from memory at least a portion of long-term-satellite-tracking data;
- generating formatted data from the at least a portion of long-term-satellite-tracking data, the formatting data being in a format supported by the remote receiver;
- establishing a secure communication link with the remote receiver to prevent unauthorized access to the at least a portion of long-term-satellite-tracking data;
- and
- transmitting the formatted data to the remote receiver via the secure communication link.
