Definitions
- the invention generally relates to annotating a recording, such as a photograph, video, etc. with data indicating a location where recording occurred, and more particularly to tracking multiple different signal sources to facilitate determining the location when a primary locating technique fails.
- GPS Global Positioning System
- GPS systems take a long time to start up, thus initial pictures may occur with no GPS data available to indicate where the picture occurred.
- GPS systems require adequate reception from at least four satellites in order to accurately determine spatial position in three dimensions. Obtaining adequate signal from four satellites is often difficult depending on the terrain through which one travels, as various conditions, such as physical obstructions, thick tree cover, tall buildings, etc., may cause a satellite to become obscured and thus preclude obtaining GPS position data.
- the receiver may then either give out invalid position information, e.g., zero-values, or repeat last known valid position data, which may be quite wrong if one is traveling quickly. Such GPS data can result in wildly incorrect position data being associated with pictures.
- FIG. 1 illustrates an exemplary environment, such as a terrain over which one is traveling and recording, e.g., taking pictures, recording movies, etc.
- FIG. 2 illustrates a general flowchart according to one embodiment of the invention for associating positioning data with a recording
- FIG. 3 illustrates a flowchart according to one embodiment of the invention for the FIG. 2 monitoring and storing of signal sources
- FIG. 4 illustrates using characteristics of signal sources to reduce a search area for a current position
- GPS is used to determine a current location that may be associated with a recording, e.g., a picture, audio and/or visual recording, etc.
- a recording e.g., a picture, audio and/or visual recording, etc.
- the primary positioning service may, on occasion, temporarily or permanently fail.
- secondary signal sources are tracked so that they can be used to determine an approximate location that may be associated with the recording.
- position data is used herein to refer to GPS track log data, coordinate data, or other data representing a position in time/space.
- location refers to human-intelligible data, e.g., a street name, city, geographic reference, landmark, etc. corresponding to position data.
- signal source refers to any signal which may be used to determine or facilitate determining a current location, including typical positioning services such as GPS, LORAN (Long Range Navigation), and other radionavigation systems.
- signal source also includes other signals not intended to be part of a positioning service, but nonetheless have characteristics, such as a determinable location for the signal source, that can be used to facilitate determining a current location; exemplary sources include cellular phone towers, 802.11 hotspots, Radio Data System (RDS) transmitters, or the like.
- RDS Radio Data System
- signal sources transmit at least an identifier for the source. It will be appreciated that signal source may transmit other data as well, such as the physical location and/or position of the signal source. If the signal source's physical location is not (conveniently) provided, it will be appreciated that coverage-maps may be consulted to cross-reference signal sources with physical locations. This lookup may occur in (near) real time or be deferred until a later time. Depending on the secondary signal sources available at any given time, and information known or obtainable about the signal sources, a current position for a recording can be determined with varying accuracy.
- FIG. 1 illustrates an exemplary environment 100, such as a terrain over which one is traveling and recording, e.g., taking pictures, recording movies, etc.
- secondary signal sources e.g., transmission towers 104, 106, 108
- FIG. 2 illustrates a general flowchart according to one embodiment of the invention for associating a location with a recording.
- Primary and secondary receivers e.g., GPS, cellular, 802.11 , etc. are initialized 200 so that signal sources may be received while traveling 202.
- a digital camera stores recordings in a Japan Electronic Industry Development Association (JEIDA) Exchangeable Image File (EXIF) file format, and position data is stored as picture metadata.
- JEIDA Japan Electronic Industry Development Association
- EXIF Exchangeable Image File
- position data is stored as picture metadata.
- a further test 210 is performed to determine whether a primary signal source, e.g., a reliable source such as GPS or the like, is available.
- a current position data is determined 212, e.g., a relevant portion of a GPS track log is obtained, and with this data, a current location is associated 214 with the recording, e.g., the current position data is looked up on a map or other resource to identify human-intelligible data.
- test 210 indicates a primary signal source is not presently available, e.g., one is traveling in area 120 of FIG. 1 , then in one embodiment monitored and stored 204 signal sources are used to estimate 216 current position data, and with this data, an estimated current location is associated 218 with a recording. It will be appreciated that various combination techniques and heuristics may be used to best-guess current position data based on identified signal sources. For example, if a certain 802.11 hotspot was recorded, and the position or location of that hotspot is known, e.g., because it transmitted its position or location, or it was looked up on a coverage map (see FIG.
- the position or location of this hotspot can be used to approximately identify the locations that occurred near in time to when the hotspot was monitored 204.
- characteristics of signal sources can be used to reduce a search area for a current position (see FIG. 4).
- test 210 indicates determining a current position is not to be deferred, then in one embodiment, the current time is determined and associated 212 with the recording. Then, at a later time, GPS track logs and/or monitored and stored 204 signal sources may be used to identify where various recordings occurred.
- FIG. 3 illustrates a flowchart according to one embodiment of the invention for the FIG. 2 monitoring and storing 204 signal sources.
- a test 300 is performed to determine whether a signal source is available. Assuming the signal source transmits a self-identifier, this identifier and the current time are stored 302, 304 in a memory. The current time is assumed to be obtained from a clock internal to the receiver of the signal; the clock may be set with respect to an external clock, such one provided by GPS.
- the signal source type is also stored 306.
- the type of signal may be cross-referenced with a coverage map (see FIG. 5) of potential signal sources, time of receipt, last known valid position data, etc. to identify a likely position for the signal source.
- the signal source strength is also stored 308 to allow for estimation of distance from the signal source, as well as to facilitate in position triangulation from multiple, and possibly different types of, signal sources.
- mapping between signal sources and their physical location may be performed by an external service.
- One exemplary external service is a cellular telephone network that provides cellular towers, cellular phones, or other devices, with position data.
- location data may be provided.
- an error estimate that may be used to account for inherent unreliability in position determination, and/or to account for or predict positions for mobile devices. Supplied position data, and error estimate, if available, may then be used to determine a current location.
- the cellular telephone network may utilize proprietary algorithms, such as proprietary triangulation techniques using signal strengths between a device and cellular towers.
- Another exemplary external service is a Local Area Network (LAN) manager for computing devices that maps network addresses, e.g., Internet
- IP Protocol
- IP addresses into corresponding real-world positions, e.g., network drop locations.
- a proprietary technique may be used to determine real-world positions that may be used to determine a current location.
- an error estimate may be provided with position data.
- external services may be provided with a date/time at which a particular signal was received, and the external service provides (perhaps with an associated cost) a location estimate.
- a general resolution service may be defined such that it operates with multiple external services where one provides the general resolution service with the date/time for receiving a particular signal, and the general resolution service attempts to locate one or more external services that can provide a location estimate for the received signal. Multiple results may be used to sanity-check and/or refine results. For example, assume a laptop computer is attached to a LAN of an outdoor cafe in Portland, Oregon. To determine the laptop's current location, one can inspect positioning service data, such as GPS data, if available, as well as query a general resolution service as discussed above, and determine a set of records such as:
- a GPS receiver in the laptop is providing the most reliable position data to be used to determine a current location.
- the next best reliable data signal comes from the information provided by the location area network to which the laptop is attached.
- the records may be determined in real time, such as through a live GPS hookup indicated in the 2 nd record, or not in real time as discussed above. If a recording, such as a photograph, were to occur at the Portland cafe, then the GPS information would be used to determine a location to be associated with the recording.
- FIG. 4 illustrates using characteristics of signal sources to reduce a search area for a current position. For example, knowing a particular type of signal source 400 only travels a certain distance, or only by line of sight, etc., can be used to determine an area 402 of possible locations at which the signal was received. If other signal sources were identified and stored 204 (FIG. 2), similar analysis can be performed for other signal sources 404, so that a current position can be narrowed down to having to be within an overlapping area 406 common to both signal sources. Position data can be selected from this overlapping area and used to determine an estimated current location to be associated with a recording. In one embodiment, estimated position data may be compared with last known reliable position data to ensure an identified overlapping area "makes sense".
- FIG. 5 illustrates using database identifying signal source locations to narrow the possible locations in which a recording occurred.
- a database 500 storing at least tower identifiers 502 and their coordinates 504 can be inspected to identify potential sources for that signal.
- the illustrated database includes entries
- FIG. 6 The illustrated machine has a system bus 602, and typically attached to the bus are one or more processors 604, a memory 606 (e.g., RAM, ROM), storage devices 608, e.g., hard-drives, floppy-disks, optical storage, magnetic cassettes, tapes, flash memory cards, memory sticks, digital video disks, biological storage, etc., a video interface 610, and input/output ports 612.
- processors 604 e.g., RAM, ROM
- storage devices 608 e.g., hard-drives, floppy-disks, optical storage, magnetic cassettes, tapes, flash memory cards, memory sticks, digital video disks, biological storage, etc.
- the machine may also include embedded controllers, such as Generic or Programmable Logic Devices or Arrays, Application Specific Integrated Circuits, single-chip computers, smart cards, or the like.
- embedded controllers such as Generic or Programmable Logic Devices or Arrays, Application Specific Integrated Circuits, single-chip computers, smart cards, or the like.
- the term "machine” includes a single machine, such as a computer, handheld device, digital camera or other digital recording device, or a system of communicatively coupled machines or devices [0038]
- the machine may be controlled, at least in part, by input from conventional input devices, such as keyboards, mice, joysticks, as well as directives received from another machine, a user's interaction with a virtual reality (VR) environment, biometric feedback, or other input.
- VR virtual reality
- the machine may operate in a network environment using physical and/or logical connections to one or more remote machines 614, 616, such as through a wired or wireless network interface 618 or modem 620, and communicate over a network 622 such as an intranet, the Internet, local or wide area network, cellular, cable, optical, satellite, microwave, "Bluetooth,” laser, infrared, etc.
- a network 622 such as an intranet, the Internet, local or wide area network, cellular, cable, optical, satellite, microwave, "Bluetooth,” laser, infrared, etc.
- remote machines 614, 616 may be configured similarly to the machine, and therefore may include many or all of the same elements.
- Program modules may be stored in memory 606 and/or storage devices 608 and associated storage media, and may be delivered over transmission environments, including the network 622, in the form of packets, serial data, parallel data, propagated signals, etc.
- Program modules may be used in a compressed or encrypted format, and may be used in a distributed environment and stored in local and/or remote memory, for access by single and multi-processor machines, portable computers, handheld devices, e.g., Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), cell phones, etc.
- PDAs Personal Digital Assistants
