Granted Patent: Validating Calibrated Magnetometer Data
Apple's newly granted patent covers their invention relating to validating data retrieved from a calibration database. In some implementations, calibrated magnetometer data for a magnetometer of a mobile device is retrieved from a calibration database and validated by data from another positioning system, such as course or heading data provided by a satellite-based positioning system. In some implementations, one or more context keys are used to retrieve magnetometer calibration data from a calibration database that is valid for a particular context of the mobile device, such as when the mobile device is mounted in a vehicle. In some implementations, currently retrieved calibration data is compared with previously retrieved calibration data to determine if the currently retrieved calibration data is valid.
