    摘要: A tracking system and method provide updated location and status information of a vending machine even after the vending machine is moved from its installed location. This allows law enforcement to use the updated location information to locate and recover the vending machine and the assets contained therein during a theft or in other security breach situations. A method also provides for automatically assigning the vending machine to an installation location using the location and status information from the vending machine.

    摘要: A GPS receiver includes a slot antenna having first and second surfaces. The second surface includes a semi-circular portion. The first and second surfaces define a slot within which is disposed dielectric material. The slot antenna is optimized for receiving GPS signals when in proximity to a human body. The relatively compact size of the slot antenna allows for the incorporation of the antenna into a small device that can be worn on or carried in close proximity to the body of a user. This type of antenna is not as sensitive to gain variations when in the proximity of a human body because the design has a wider aperture and thus operates better near the body. Further, this type of antenna is virtually omni-directional, i.e., it is not problematically sensitive to the location of the GPS signal source. Moreover, the design is such that the antenna arrangement can be oriented within a device in a way that maximizes the number of GPS satellites tracked.

    摘要: A method of using altitude information to arrive at a more accurate GPS position. A 3D GPS position is used as an initial estimate. The latitude and longitude of the initial estimate are used to retrieve an altitude from a database. This altitude is used to calculate a 2D GPS position. The 2D GPS position is then used to retrieve another altitude from the database, and the calculate-retrieve process is continued until the calculation converges.

    摘要: A method of determining the distance traveled during an event by a mobile GPS receiver. The event comprises epochs. The method comprises receiving pseudorange data comprised of one of pseudorange differences or range rates. Each pseudorange difference, in turn, comprises a difference between a first pseudorange and a second pseudorange. The first pseudorange comprises the pseudorange between the receiver and a GPS satellite at a first epoch. The second pseudorange comprises the pseudorange between the receiver and the GPS satellite at a second epoch. The range rates comprise a range rate measurement taken by the receiver of the GPS satellite from the first epoch to the second epoch. Line-of-sight data comprised of at least one normalized vector between the receiver and the GPS satellite is then determined. Based on the pseudorange and line-of-sight data, incremental distance data is then determined. A sum over the event of the incremental distance data is then determined.
