发明名称 Geographic locator of a vehicle using GPS and angles between pairs of adjacent boundary coordinate points
摘要 A system and method for using coordinate data indicative of the present location of a vehicle to determine which state the vehicle is in. A receiver obtains the coordinate data and compares it to state boundary coordinate information stored in memory. The angles created by the present coordinate location and each pair of adjacent points along a state's boundary are added. A resulting sum of two times pi (radians) indicates that the present state falls within the state boundary, a result of zero indicates otherwise.
