In this paper, we propose an active location acquisition terminal needing to construct an infrastructure based on a LBS and analyze the performance in real field. The proposed terminal is compounded with a GPS module and a CDMA module, so it can get the location information independently using satellite GPS signal and the proposed terminal can decide a user location with the location information of a base station in satellite GPS shadowed area. This is the distinguishable location acquisition method from the conventional A-GPS, and it complements a disadvantage of the conventional GPS. From these results, we can confirm that the proposed active location acquisition terminal is suitable to the requirements for the LBS which are the independent location acquisition ability, the continuity in the location information acquisition and the maintenance in the location information security.

Smart care surveillance system can take the position information of the user and monitor by controlling neighbor CCTVs using GPS receiver built into smart device. But because the position information contains a significant error, in general smart device, it is necessary to be corrected for precise monitoring. In previous smart care system, this error is corrected by using a plurality of CCTV. But it has disadvantage that two or more CCTVs pointed toward the same point at the same time. In this paper, we propose the method to correct error of the GPS location information by using only one CCTV. With experiment result, we find that the accuracy of GPS location information corrected with only one CCTV is as improved as two CCTVs.

The accuracy of GPS varies depending on the number of GPS satellites and is declined in GPS interfering spot such as around forest or buildings. This paper proposes a localization improvement algorithm in GPS interfering spot by integrating information of multiple sensors in smartphone. The proposed algorithm is implemented in smartphone and the performance is evaluated in campus area.

In order to obtain continuous navigation information at low cost, we demonstrate, in this work, a position system which is constructed by integrating accelerometers with GPS. The proposed system eliminates vibration and noise elements of accelerometers by using Kalman filter. Calculating continuous navigation information is executed by unifying GPS position data and accelerations of moving and centripetal directions which affect the vehicle. Through simulations and experiments, we show that the performance of GPS can be improved by employing accelerometers. Our proposed system can provide stable and seamless position information where the GPS signal is unavailable due to obstruction like tunnels, and high buildings. The designed system can be implemented at low cost of circuit design and production, and satisfy various installation conditions.

최근 들어 스마트폰이 급격하게 보급됨에 따라 스마트폰을 이용하여 상대방의 위치를 확인하는 응용 프로그램이 많이 개발되고 있다. 현재 운영중인 위치 추적 서비스는 두 사람이 스마트폰을 소지하고 있는 경우의 서비스 형태와 한 사람만 스마트폰을 소지하고 있는 경우의 서비스 형태로 분류된다. 우리는 스마트폰과 스마트폰 간의 위치 정보 교환을 통해 상대방의 위치를 찾는 방식이 아닌 스마트폰과 GPS모듈 간의 위치 정보 교환을 통하여 어린이나 애완견의 위치를 찾을 수 있도록 GPS 모듈을 개발하고 이 모듈과 통신하는 스마트폰 앱을 개발하였다. 개발된 GPS 모듈은 위치 정보를 받아 전달하는 기능만 가지므로 스마트폰에 비해 매우 저렴하게 구성할 수 있어서 적은 경비로 상대방을 찾을 수 있으며 공중망 대신 무선랜 망을 통해 위치정보를 전달하게 설계되어 추가적인 통신 비용이 들지 않는 장점을 가진다. 하지만 위치추적 서비스가 무선랜 망이 구축된 제한된 구역에서만 가능하다는 단점이 있다. 개발된 위치추적 서비스 방식은 시장이나 놀이공원 같은 특수한 지역에서 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Recently, location information based routing protocol has been studied to estimate end-to-end path in wireless ad-hoc network. This protocol assumes all nodes can get heir location information via GPS devices and floods only limited area with routing message through acquired location information. Therefore, this protocol has advantage that can reduce the number of routing message than the existing IP-based routing protocols. In addition, all nodes enabling this protocol must acquire their own location information to participate in the location-based routing. However, recent because of the miniaturization of sensor node, sensor node without GPS function has been launched. Therefore in case of the sensor node that does not know location information, it is impossible to participate in the ad hoc network configuration and location information based routing. In this paper, a virtual location information based routing scheme is proposed for wireless nodes without GPS function to be able to participate in location information based routing within ad hoc network environments consisting of wireless nodes with GPS function and wireless nodes without GPS function. Therefore, the proposed protocol has the advantage that a wireless node without a GPS function is able to participate in ad hoc network configuration and the location information based routing.

GPIR(GPS Position Information Revision) system is a new concept of GPS system which utilizes database containing the location of taking a picture by the existing GPS, an angle between a camera and a subject and the location information of buildings and minimizes the GPS's own margin of error and there by provides the services, such as location-guiding via GPS and way-guiding via navigation in an exact and precision way more than before. GPIR system comprehends the location of taking photos via GPS information saved in G-files, searches database in the direction of taking a photo at a photo-taking position via location information and the photo-taking directional angle. And GPIR system corrects the GPS information searched to the location of a subject, again saves such information in a G-file and is ready for receiving more detailed location of the subject. This study explores into the design and development of a receiver which a GPIR user is able to utilize its system as well as the design of the receiver's prototypes.

Recently, navigation system is used to inform users of vehicle location and driving direction, moving distance and so on. This navigation uses GPS sensor for current location determination. The GPS sensor will determinate current coordinates by using triangulation algorithm. This characteristic bring about that the GPS signal is not available in the shadow region such as tunnel and urban canyon. Moreover, Even though the signal is available, inherent positional error rate of the GPS often results in the dislocation of vehicle. To solve, these problems, a new positioning system is proposed in the paper. The System utilizes geomagnetic sensors of smartphone, speed information of CAN of vehicle though bluetooth and WiFi APs for GPS shadow area. The experimental test shadows that the proposed system using multiple data is able to determine the position of vehicle in GPS shadow areas.

Recently utilizing GPS (Global Positioning System) technology has become the research in progress to improve the accuracy. However, if you encounter problems when you receive a satellite signal reception accuracy it is also significantly lowered. In this paper, we designed a system that combines the GPS technology and the GIS (Geographic Information System) technology, which provides information about the specified location to increase the accuracy. Compare the specified location and the user's location information to determine whether the user enters for the location. Accordingly, is utilized by the GIS technique considered to make improve the accuracy of the location information even when there is interference in the received satellite signal, the user receives a service specified location.
