Abstract:
Disclosed herein are a location estimation apparatus and method using a combination of different positioning resources. The location estimation apparatus includes a motion model generation unit for generating a motion model corresponding to a state variable of a terminal based on a current time, a weight calculation unit for extracting a dynamic location database (DB) from a location DB based on multiple pieces of measurement information received from the terminal, and calculating a weight proportional to a likelihood of the multiple pieces of measurement information based on the dynamic location DB, and a location estimation unit for estimating a location and direction of the terminal by applying the weight to at least one sample value corresponding to the motion model.
Abstract:
A user participation-based measurement information utilization system and a user participation-based measurement information utilization server and method. The user participation-based measurement information utilization server includes a measurement information collection unit for collecting user measurement information corresponding to at least one of sensor information and wireless communication heterogeneous infrastructure measurement information from a terminal of a user, on which a measurement information utilization application is installed, a pattern update unit for updating a user pattern corresponding to the user in a measurement information correlation database (DB) in accordance with the user measurement information based on a time at which the user measurement information is collected, and a service provision unit for providing measurement information utilization service to the user based on one or more similar patterns having a correlation with the user pattern among multiple patterns included in a measurement information list.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for loading a radiomap database (DB) and a terminal device are disclosed. The apparatus for loading a radiomap DB includes a moving information calculation unit, and a loading performance unit. The moving information calculation unit calculates the moving information of a terminal based on the difference between a previous location and estimated final location of the terminal as the terminal moves. The loading performance unit loads a radiomap DB, including information about a neighboring node of each reference point, and a radiomap DB, including information about a neighboring node of a reference point, located in a direction in which the terminal moves, based on the moving information calculated by the moving information calculation unit.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is an apparatus and method for determining indoor collection points and collecting heterogeneous infrastructure measurement information. The apparatus includes a sensor module unit for sensing a motion and a location. An indoor map DB includes attribute information of an indoor space and an indoor map. A collection route generation unit generates a collection route on the indoor map depending on collection conditions. A collection point determination unit determines a collection point from which the heterogeneous infrastructure measurement information is to be collected on the collection route while moving, based on information of the sensor module unit and the indoor map DB. A heterogeneous infrastructure measurement information collection unit collects heterogeneous infrastructure measurement information from the collection point. An information combination unit generates results of collection by combining the collection point with the heterogeneous infrastructure measurement information at the collection point.
