Abstract
This disclosure relates to systems, methods, computer program products, and means that control access to position information at a receiver, or at another device external to the receiver, based on various considerations, including a requested service type, a user type, a device type, a software application type, a payment, and/or other characteristics associated with a particular software application or distributor of that software application. The disclosure further relates to systems, methods, computer program products and means for carrying out secure data transmissions intended for a particular application among other applications.
Claims40
A method for controlling access to position information by one or more applications, the method comprising:
- decrypting, using a first key, a first set of encrypted position signals received from a network of terrestrial transmitters;
- determining position information from the first set of decrypted position signals;
- identifying a first set of the position information, wherein the first set of the position information is identified based on a first level of service associated with a first application;
- encrypting the first set of the position information using a second key;
- and
- providing the encrypted first set of the position information to the first application.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodying program instructions adapted to be executed to implement a method for controlling access to position information by one or more applications, the method comprising:
- decrypting, using a first key, a first set of encrypted position signals received from a network of terrestrial transmitters;
- determining position information from the first set of decrypted position signals;
- identifying a first set of the position information, wherein the first set of the position information is identified based on a first level of service associated with a first application;
- encrypting the first set of the position information using a second key;
- and
- providing the encrypted first set of the position information to the first application.
