Definitions

• mobile electronic hand-held devices that may include wireless and wired communication devices, satellite navigation positioning devices such as GPS, yaw rate, acceleration and attitude sensors, and computing and display devices.
• the document US 2012/0028680 A1 describes the transmission of data from a vehicle to a smartphone.
• the smartphone should thereby have access to a vehicle bus, are transmitted to the data from vehicle sensors, and thus to the sensor data of the vehicle.
• the smartphone should process the received data and use it for various applications.
• the vehicle is set up so that it can provide the function even without receiving data from the mobile terminal.
• the mobile terminal is mechanically but releasably coupled to the vehicle to participate in the movement of the vehicle. This can be done by a holder.
• the received data is used to improve the already existing measurements (redundant or complementary measurement).
• the output variables of the sensors for example yaw rate and acceleration sensors
• the sensor data of the vehicle are supplemented by the measurements of the mobile terminal. Even when using redundant measurements of the position (with redundant measurement principles) by the mobile terminal and by the vehicle, an improvement of the positioning by the vehicle is to be expected in consideration of the received data of the mobile terminal.
• the signals of the satellite-based positioning or navigation are received and evaluated at locally different locations, which at least slightly subjects the received signals to other disturbances.
• Data may also be received that includes raw data from the measurements and / or rendered data.
• raw data are the rotation rate and acceleration information of an inertial measurement unit in the mobile terminal.
• prepared data are: the attitude estimation of the mobile terminal in the vehicle, the rotation rate and acceleration information converted to the vehicle coordinate system, the classification of the motion state from the vehicle, the information as to whether or not the driver is currently working with the smartphone, the result of judgment of the driver type (eg evaluated in a smartphone local app, ie a program) based on the rotation and acceleration information of the mobile terminal.
• the cost of the vehicle can be reduced, since certain sensors and thus measurements are realized by the mobile terminal and thus need not be provided by the vehicle; even with increasing accuracy of motion and position determination, which would normally require additional and better sensors.
• the measurement of the movement of the vehicle is based on rotary and acceleration sensors of the mobile terminal, and the use of the data comprises the detection of intent of the user or driver of the vehicle. For example, a turn request may be inferred based on the speed relationship relative to a stop line.
• the use of the data for realizing aviation-known methods, such as an early combination of satellite navigation determined pseudoranges and delta ranges and rotation rate or acceleration data
• the use of the data includes the use of the data for the diagnosis of Missing sensors of the vehicle, especially offset errors.
• Another inventive method for improving a function, in particular a positioning, of a vehicle comprises: receiving correction data for properties of the atomic sphere or properties of satellites for correcting positioning errors from a mobile terminal; Use of correction data to improve the positioning of the vehicle.
• the vehicle may include a navigation system that provides a navigation function, but without the use of the type of correction data received from the mobile terminal. Receiving the correction data improves the positioning of the vehicle. Even if a smartphone should not be carried while driving the vehicle, so the function can be provided. The same is true in the event that the smartphone should become inoperable, for example because it has become too hot due to sun exposure and is at a temperature that is outside its operating conditions.
• the correction data can be present in the mobile terminal independently of the value added to the vehicle.
• the accuracy of the positioning of the vehicle can be increased since, for example, travel time extensions of the GPS signal can be compensated for due to certain states of the ionosphere.
• the use of the correction data to eliminate systematic errors is used
• the method comprises providing the correction data to other road users or to traffic infrastructure by means of wireless transmission.
• the method comprises the receiving of card information from the mobile terminal, in particular the card information relevant for the positioning.
• the map information includes a crossing geometry to the area in which the vehicle is currently located, but not to others
• the method includes providing the received map information to other road users or infrastructure.
• vehicle here includes passenger cars, trucks and also two-wheeled vehicles, such as motorcycles. The term also includes ships or series boats and motor boats.
• the invention is based in part also on the following considerations: Aspects of the invention may relate to the coupling of a mobile terminal to the vehicle electronics for:
• INS inertial navigation system
• Vehicle functions such as Navigation and security systems can be given the opportunity to access the following data from the mobile device:
• GNSS correction data digital map information, which is picked up by the mobile terminal, for example, from the Internet or from service providers.
• GNSS correction data in GNSS receiver of the vehicle. This allows an increase in accuracy since systematic errors, e.g. due to an extension of the propagation time of the GNSS signal through the ionosphere, are compensated. There are no additional costs.
• digital map information which the mobile terminal for example picks up from the Internet or service providers, in the vehicle e.g. as a basis or supplement to the map matching. This allows the provision of a daily updated digital map.
• Access to a mobile terminal which has a high computing and storage capacity and intelligently processes data from the sensors.
• systemic knowledge e.g. from external information sources or learning algorithms.
• smart traffic light phase assistance is that the results of vehicle localization are evaluated relative to the stop signal line of a traffic signal controlled intersection.
• the GNSS signals are received and evaluated at locally different locations, the GNSS correction data are collected via the mobile terminal and made available both to the mobile terminal itself and to the vehicle,
