Description

Information service method and system related to satellite positioning system using internet {The Service Method and System for Information Related to Global Positioning System Using Internet}

The present invention relates to a method and system for servicing satellite positioning system (GPS) related information (the latitude, altitude, speed, etc.) using the Internet, and more specifically, a GPS terminal, a GPS phone, a general purpose computer terminal (personal , Location), wireless communication device, etc., to plan location information and access route of destination to move on electronic map, and download necessary data (spatial coordinate, speed information, multimedia information, etc.) from GPS information providing system The present invention relates to a GPS-related information service method and system that enables users to use downloaded data when moving backwards.

GPS was a military-oriented system created by the US Department of Defense in early 1970 to spend $ 6 billion to measure the position of objects on Earth. However, today it is approved by the US Congress and used in the private sector, on the premise that some are open to the private sector.

GPS can be used to get location and time. 24 GPS satellites (actually 27, including 3 supplementary satellites) continue to rotate the Earth's atmosphere in different orbits. This is to ensure that more than four satellite signals can be obtained at any time on earth.

In order to measure position, signals must be received from up to four satellites simultaneously. Of course, if you receive more signals from satellites, you can get more accurate position values. The GPS receiver has 4 channels and 8 channels according to the number of satellite signals processed simultaneously.

GPS positioning data is classified into a precision positioning service (PPS) used for military purposes and a standard positioning service (SPS) provided to civilians, and they have a certain range of error.

As a method of correcting such an error, differential GPS (DGPS) reflecting data corrected by using a difference between a coordinate value of a specific position and a measured value therein is used. By using DGPS, the margin of error can be reduced to within 5m. Recently, DARC system, which provides DGPS correction data through FM broadcasting, is also introduced in Korea.

Another position measuring system is the former Soviet Union's GLONASS. Recently, a method of reducing the error range by using GPS and GLONASS signals simultaneously has been developed.

GPS is used in conjunction with electronic maps (GIS) in airplanes, ships, and vehicles, and it is also used to locate people such as people and vehicles. In addition, personal portable GPS receivers have been developed and used for unknown exploration and self-location during military operations. Recently, portable mobile communication terminals with a built-in GPS receiver have also been developed and released.
