NAVIGATION PROCESSING IN HOST BASED SATELLITE POSITIONING SOLUTION METHODS AND SYSTEMS

摘要

Methods and systems consistent with the present invention provide a host based positioning system. The host based positioning system includes a tracker hardware interface (214) that connects to a dedicated hardware space vehicle tracker (102) to a host computer (104). The tracker hardware interface (214) receives positioning information from the space vehicle tracker (102) and communicates with the host computer (104) using predefined messages. The host based positioning system includes a layered protocol approach (400) to enable user applications (218) on a host computer to access data from tracker hardware device. ® KIPO & WIPO 2007
