Extracting Pseudorange Data from Embedded GNSS Chipsets

The patent extracts pseudorange information from the integrated GNSS chipset and makes it available to external applications. The chipset accessor logic and pseudorange information extractor logic specifically target and extract this otherwise inaccessible data, allowing surveying and positioning operations to utilize the information while maintaining the integrated architecture.

The patent introduces intermediary logic components (chipset accessor logic, pseudorange information extractor logic, pseudorange information processor logic) that mediate between the GNSS chipset and external applications. These intermediaries enable controlled access to pseudorange information without requiring changes to the core chipset integration, resolving the contradiction between information availability and system complexity.

The patent segments the processing functionality into distinct logic modules: chipset accessor logic for data retrieval, pseudorange information extractor logic for data extraction, processor logic for accuracy improvement, and position accuracy improvement determination logic for decision-making. This segmentation allows complex processing to be divided into manageable, independent functions that can be implemented systematically.

The device uses its own extracted pseudorange information to improve its positioning accuracy without requiring external reference systems. The position accuracy improvement determination logic autonomously determines which accuracy improvements to apply based on available data, enabling the device to serve itself in enhancing measurement precision.
