Definitions
- the present method and apparatus relates generally to positioning systems for mobile stations, such as cellular or other wireless communication devices, and more specifically to acquiring and updating positional information for a mobile station using data code labels.
- a Satellite Positioning System such as the Global Positioning System (GPS)
- GPS Global Positioning System
- a GPS user can derive precise navigation information including three- dimensional position, velocity and time of day through information gained from satellite vehicles (SVs) in orbit around the earth.
- SVs satellite vehicles
- the signals that are received from the SVs may be weak. Therefore, in order to determine the position of the receiver, the receiver must be sufficiently sensitive to receive these weak signals and interpret the information that is represented by them.
- SPS receivers operate in which multiple satellites are clearly in view, without obstructions, and where a good quality antenna is properly positioned to receive such signals. As such, they normally are unusable in areas with blockage conditions, such as where there is significant foliage or building blockage (e.g., urban canyons) and within buildings.
- Embodiments disclosed herein provide for the acquisition of positional information for a mobile station using a data code label and updating the positional information as the mobile station moves without the need for signals from an SPS, such as GPS.
- the data code label is read and information encoded within the data code label is used to obtain positional information, which may be, e.g., a digital map, directions, or non-navigational information, which may be provided via a display or speakers.
- positional information may be provided with reference to a local coordinate system or a global coordinate system.
- the position of the mobile station may be updated using inertial sensors within the mobile station and/or using a measured radio signal and a wireless access point or femtocell almanac that may be obtained using the information encoded within the data code label. Updated positional information for the mobile station is then provided.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a block diagram showing a system in which a mobile station acquires positional information using information from a data code label.
- Fig. 2 is an example of a data code label in the Quick Response code format.
- FIG. 3 is an illustrative block diagram of a mobile station capable of acquiring and updating positional information using encoded data from a data code label.
- FIG. 4 is a flow chart illustrating a method of acquiring and updating positional information using a data code label.
- Fig. 5 illustrates an example of a simple digital map and various positions of a mobile station that may be displayed on the visual display of the mobile station.
- a system and method described herein uses a data code label to acquire positional information, which may be updated without the need for signals from an SPS.
- the system may include a mobile station that uses a data code label to acquire position information and uses internal sensors to update the positional information, such as the current position of the mobile station.
- the positional information may include a digital map with the position of the mobile station, navigation instructions or non-navigational information about the position of the mobile station. It should be understood that the positional information may be referenced to a local coordinate system or a generalized global coordinate system, such as the WGS 84 coordinate system used with GPS.
- a mobile station refers to a device such as a cellular or other wireless communication device, personal communication system (PCS) device, personal navigation device, Personal Information Manager (PIM), Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), laptop or other suitable mobile device which is capable of receiving wireless communications.
- PCS personal communication system
- PIM Personal Information Manager
- PDA Personal Digital Assistant
- the term “mobile station” is also intended to include devices which communicate with a personal navigation device (PND), such as by short-range wireless, infrared, wireline connection, or other connection - regardless of whether satellite signal reception, assistance data reception, and/or position-related processing occurs at the device or at the PND.
- PND personal navigation device
- mobile station is intended to include all devices, including wireless communication devices, computers, laptops, etc.
- a server which are capable of communication with a server, such as via the Internet, Wi-Fi, or other network, and regardless of whether satellite signal reception, assistance data reception, and/or position-related processing occurs at the device, at a server, or at another device associated with the network. Any operable combination of the above is also considered a "mobile station.”
- Acquiring positional information for a mobile station using a data code label as described herein may be advantageous if the mobile station does not have SPS capabilities or if the SPS system is inactive or in locations where SPS may not work adequately, e.g., in locations that suffer from blockage conditions.
- Blockage conditions may exist where the SPS receiver in the mobile station has difficulty acquiring and/or tracking SPS signals from SPS satellites. For example, blockage conditions may exist in indoor environments, in urban canyon environments, and certain outdoor
- Navigation without SPS or in blockage conditions presents two related problems: keeping an accurate sense of position and having access to local information about the topology.
- Navigation without the benefits of SPS is hampered by the relative difficulty of substituting other technologies.
- almanacs of wireless access points can supply some data, but they may be expensive to compile and the source of almanac data appropriate for a local area may not be obvious to the user of a mobile station.
- inertial sensors which may provide information based on the tracking of movement through dead reckoning, but these tend to amass errors over time.
- Fig. 1 illustrates a block diagram showing a system in which a mobile station 102 acquires positional information from a data code label 104 that may be used for navigation.
- the acquired positional information may include the position of the data code label 104 and therefore the mobile station 102, with respect to a coordinate system, which may be a local coordinate system or a generalized global coordinate system, such as the WGS84 coordinate system.
- the acquired positional information may also include, e.g., navigation instructions or a map of the local environment.
- the acquired positional information may also include almanac data, which may be used to assist in navigation.
- the data code label 104 is a physical tag that is attached to a location that is accessible to the mobile station 102, such as at an entrance or directory sign to a building, or other accessible location.
- the data code label 104 may be, e.g., a Quick Response (QR) code, which is a matrix code created by Japanese corporation Denso- Wave.
- QR Quick Response
- Other types of bar codes or machine readable representations of data including one dimensional bar codes or optical data matrix style codes, such as Data Matrix code, Semacode, Maxicode, Aztec Code may be used if desired.
- non-optical data code labels may be used, such as RFID tags.
- the data code label 104 may be encoded with a hyperlink with, e.g., a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), which can be used by the mobile station 102 to access positional information 108, which may be stored on a server, and is accessed through network 106, such as the Internet.
- URI Uniform Resource Identifier
- Fig. 2 by way of example, is a data code label 104 in the QR code format that is encoded with the URI "http://www.example.com”. If the data code label 104 is capable of encoding information in a sufficiently dense manner, e.g., using colorized QR codes, the data code label 104 may be used to pass the positional information directly to the mobile station 102 without the use of a hyperlink.
- FIG. 3 is a block diagram of a mobile station 102 capable of navigation using information obtained from a data code label 104 (Fig. 1).
- mobile station 102 includes a data code label reader 122 that communicates with a mobile station control 124.
- the mobile station control 124 is provided by a processing unit 125 and associated memory 127, support hardware 130, software 129, and firmware 132.
- the processing unit can, but need not necessarily include, one or more microprocessors, embedded processors, controllers, application specific integrated circuits (ASICs), digital signal processors (DSPs), and the like.
- ASICs application specific integrated circuits
- DSPs digital signal processors
- the term processing unit is intended to describe the functions implemented by the system rather than specific hardware.
- memory refers to any type of computer storage medium, including long term, short term, or other memory associated with the mobile station, and is not to be limited to any particular type of memory or number of memories, or type of media upon which memory is stored.
- the data code label reader 122 may operate in conjunction with the mobile station control 124 to read and decode the data code label 104, e.g., using suitable data code label reading software in the mobile station control 124.
- the data code label reader 122 may be a camera that images the data code label 104, which is decoded by the mobile station control 124.
- the data code label reader 122 may be a bar code reader or an RFID reader.
- the data code label reader 122 may be configured to read Quick Response codes. If desired, the data code label reader 122 may be a dedicated reader that extracts the encoded data from the data code label 104 and provide the extracted data to the mobile station control 124.
- the mobile station control 124 accesses the network 106 (Fig. 1) and is directed to a server containing the linked positional information 108, e.g., navigation information, a digital local map and/or almanac information.
- the mobile station 102 may access the network 106 through a wireless network radio receiver/transmitter (RF 144) that is capable of connecting to a network through, for example, a wireless access point or femtocell.
- the RF 144 may connect to a wireless network such as Wireless Wide Area Networks (WWAN), Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) or any other suitable network.
- WWAN Wireless Wide Area Networks
- WLAN Wireless Local Area Network
- the mobile station control 124 may launch a browser 128 on the mobile station 102 and direct the browser to the encoded URI.
- the mobile station controller 124 may download the positional information 108 with an initial position of the mobile station 102.
- the positional information 108 may include, e.g., navigation instructions, a digital map of the local environment, as well as almanac of local, for example, wireless access points or femtocells that may be used to assist in navigation.
- the positional information 108 such as navigation instructions or a digital map including the initial position of the mobile station 102, may be shown in a visual display 136 in the user interface 134 of the mobile station 102.
- the user interface 134 may include features such as a keypad 135, microphone 137 and speaker 138. Where the positional information 108 includes navigational instructions, the instructions may be provided via the speaker 138 as opposed to or in addition to the display 136.
- the positional information 108 including the position of the mobile station 102 is stored and updated in a position database 126 in the mobile station control 124.
- the position database 126 is updated with the new position.
- the updated positional information can then be provided, e.g., by displaying the digital map with the new position on the display 136 or by providing additional navigation instructions on the display and/or via speaker 138.
- Inertial sensors 142 within the mobile station 102 may be used to determine that the position of the mobile station 102 has changed.
- Inertial data including the direction and magnitude of movement of the mobile station 102, is provided by the inertial sensors 142 to the mobile station control 124, which then updates the position in the position database 126.
- inertial sensors that may be used with the mobile station 102 include accelerometers, quartz sensors, gyros, or micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) sensors used as linear accelerometers.
- MEMS micro-electromechanical system
- the mobile station 102 can navigate using the inertial sensors 142 even after the radio has been turned off, e.g., in "airplane mode" on a cell phone. Moreover, if the data code label 104 is capable of embedding the positional information, the mobile station 102 can obtain the map and navigate while in "airplane mode". [0022] With the use of the radio, a change in position of the mobile station 102 may also or alternatively be detected with reference to, for example, a wireless access point or femtocell almanac, which may be downloaded, e.g., at the URI embedded in the data code label 104.
- a wireless access point almanac is, e.g., a database of the signal strengths of wireless access points for different positions with respect to the local map 108.
- the mobile station 102 may include a received signal strength indicator system (RSSI) 146 that is connected to the RF 144 and the mobile station control 124.
- the RSSI system 146 may determine and monitor the signal strength of any radio signal (e.g., wireless access point or femtocell signals) received by the RF 144 and provide the measured signal strength to the mobile station control 124.
- the measured radio signal strength may be compared to the downloaded wireless access point or femtocell almanac database.
- the current position of the mobile station may be determined to lie in an area that corresponds to the data point in the wireless access point or femtocell almanac with the highest correlation to the measured radio signal strength.
- processing units may be implemented in hardware, firmware, software, or a combination thereof.
- the processing units may be implemented within one or more application specific integrated circuits (ASICs), digital signal processors (DSPs), digital signal processing devices (DSPDs), programmable logic devices (PLDs), field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), processors, controllers, micro-controllers, microprocessors, electronic devices, other electronic units designed to perform the functions described herein, or a combination thereof.

Memory may be implemented within the processing unit or external to the processing unit. As used herein the term "memory" refers to any type of long term, short term, volatile, nonvolatile, or other memory and is not to be limited to any particular type of memory or number of memories, or type of media upon which memory is stored.
- software 129/firmware 132 code/instructions may be stored in a computer-readable medium such as memory 127 and executed by processing unit 125 and may be used to run the processing unit and to perform/control the operations of the mobile station 102 as described herein.
- a program code/instructions stored in a computer-readable medium, such as memory 127 may include program code to decode a data label that is read by the data code label reader 122, to obtain positional information and a position using the decoded data code label, to provide the positional information with the position of the mobile station, and update the positional information of the mobile station when there is a change in position and to provide the updated positional information.
- the computer-readable medium may include program code to update the position of the mobile station using inertial data provided by inertial sensors 142. Additionally, the computer-readable medium may include program code to obtain a local wireless access point or femtocell almanac using the decoded data code label, to measure and monitor the strength of a signal from one or more wireless access points or femtocells that are in the local wireless access point or femtocell almanac, and to update the position of the mobile station using the local wireless access point or femtocell almanac and the measured strength of the signal.
- Fig. 4 is a flow chart showing a method of navigation using a data code label.
- data from a data code label is collected (202) by the mobile station 102.
- a camera in the mobile station 102 may be used as the data code label reader 122 (Fig. 3) to capture an image of the data code label 104 (Fig. 1) that is located at the entrance or directory sign of a building, such as a hospital, museums, shopping centers, etc.
- the mobile station control 124 processes the image to decode the data code label 104.
- positional information including the initial position of the mobile station 102 may be obtained (204).
- a URI encoded in the digital code label 104 may be used to access and download the positional information with the initial position of the mobile station 102 via a wireless network.
- the positional information may include a digital map of the local environment or navigation directions for the local environment.
- the positional information may also include a wireless access point or femtocell almanac, for example.
- the positional information is provided by the mobile station (206), e.g., via display 136 or speaker 138 shown in Fig. 3.
- the positional information for the mobile station 102 is updated (208).
- the position of the mobile station 102 may be updated based on signals from the inertial sensors 142 or based on a comparison of a measured strength of a radio signal to, for example, a downloaded wireless access point or femtocell almanac. For example, as the mobile station approaches wireless access point or femtocell 256, shown in Fig. 5, the radio signal strength will increase. By comparing the measured radio signal strength to the downloaded almanac, the position of the mobile station may be determined with respect to the local or global coordinate system.
- the updated positional information for the mobile station 102 is then provided (210), e.g., via display 136 or speaker 138.
- Fig. 5 illustrates one embodiment of downloaded positional information in the form of a simple digital map 250 and initial position 252 of the mobile station 102 that may be displayed, e.g., on the visual display 136 of the mobile station 102.
- the digital map 250 may be referenced to a local coordinate system or to a global coordinate system, such as WGS84.
- the digital map 250 and initial position 252 may be accessed and downloaded using the data decoded from the data code label 104.
- the data code label 104 is capable of encoding information in a dense manner, e.g., using colorized QR codes
- the digital map 250 and initial position 252 may be encoded within the data code label, and thus, the mobile station can obtain this information directly from the data code label.
- the digital map 250 may show additional information, such as the location of data code labels 104 and 105, and wireless access points or femtocells 256 and 258.
- the data code label 105 illustrated in Fig. 5 encodes different information, e.g., a different URI, which may include the same digital map, but a different position 253 for the mobile station.
- Fig. 5 illustrates a relatively simple digital map 250 of a local indoor environment for illustrative purposes and that the digital map 250 may be as complex as desired or needed.
- the digital map 250 may include multiple levels, rooms, etc. and may include textual and/or graphical information.
- the digital map 250 is not limited to indoor environments.
- the digital map 250 may be used for any outdoor environments, particularly where SPS navigation is not accessible due to blockage conditions or is simply not available on the mobile station.
- the position of the mobile station 102 As the mobile station 102 moves, the position of the mobile station 102 with reference to the local or global coordinate system is updated and the updated positional information is provided, as illustrated in Fig. 5 by the updated position 254. Because inertial sensors tend to amass errors over time, a wireless access point or femtocell almanac, for example, may be used in conjunction with the inertial sensors to minimize errors. Additionally, by collecting data from different data code labels, e.g., data code label 105 in Fig. 5, and downloading the digital map and the position associated with the different data code label, the position of the mobile station 102 may be periodically updated or corrected.

- a directory sign may include a different data code label associated with each entry on the sign.
- Navigation directions to a desired destination may be accessed and downloaded using the data decoded from the data code label on the directory sign associated with the desired destination.
- the navigation directions maybe textual and displayed on the visual display 136 or auditory and provided by speaker 138.
- the mobile station 102 may provide updated positional information in the form of additional directions.
- the positional information may also include other information about the position of the mobile station 102, including non-navigational information such as information about the current position or objects near the current position.
- non-navigational information such as information about the current position or objects near the current position.
- a data code label maybe used to access positional information in the form of information about items near the current position of the mobile station 102, which again may be provided via display 136 or speaker 138.
- the mobile station 102 may provide updated positional information, e.g., information about items at the new position of the mobile station.
