Telematic device for a motor vehicle
TL;DR: In this paper, a car radio with an RDS module, a wireless telephone, and a positioning and navigation system are provided in one housing, which is designed so that it can be installed in a standard bay in the instrument panel of a motor vehicle.
Patent
Method, terminal device and system allowing for handling location services independently from a cellular communication system
TL;DR: In this article, the basic concept of serving for serving location related information of a mobile communication terminal device comprises a receiving of a location request as defined above, a retrieving of the location-related information in accordance with the location request, an encoding of an encoded location response, and a transmitting of the encoded location-response to the mobile communication device.
Patent
GPS receiver with cross-track hold
TL;DR: In this paper, a terrestrial C/A code GPS receiver system derives along track position information while tracking as few as two GPS satellites by use of conventional altitude hold and a cross track hold mode in which the maximum expected deviation of the vehicle from the expected track is estimated by knowledge or prediction of the width of the roadway or other track.
Patent
