InvenSense Positioning Library Sensor-Assisted
Positioning Technology Enhances Navigation User Experience by
Eliminating ‘GPS Signal Lost’
InvenSense, Inc. (NYSE:INVN), a leading provider of MEMS sensor
platform solutions, today announced that the InvenSense Positioning
Library (IPL) software sensor-assisted positioning technology has
been licensed by Huawei for incorporation into the Kirin 950 mobile
application processor platforms. The recently launched Huawei Mate
8 smartphone is the first model to incorporate the HiSilicon and
IPL technology. IPL improves smartphone GNSS (GPS)-only
implementations by providing more continuous and accurate
navigation in areas with poor GNSS signal quality. The IPL solution
delivers sensor-enhanced positioning providing a high-availability,
high-accuracy turn-by-turn navigation user experience to HiSilicon
mobile platforms and mobile application developers. Through this
collaboration, InvenSense and HiSilicon will make continuous
improvements to IPL and the overall location subsystem to provide
the best possible navigation experience to Huawei’s customers.
The combination of sensor positioning with GNSS enhances
navigation user experience by eliminating “GPS Signal Lost”
warnings and unnecessary re-routings in map applications due to
GNSS multipath errors. IPL uses complex algorithms that take sensor
data from the mobile device gyroscope, accelerometer, magnetometer
and barometric pressure sensors to generate an inertial navigation
system (INS) that tracks the position change of a vehicle or
pedestrian. IPL then combines the INS with GNSS to provide
always-available and more accurate location data when GNSS is
inaccurate or unavailable, such as in deep urban canyons with tall
buildings or in tunnels and parking garages. IPL operates in any
physical orientation allowing the user to freely move the phone in
the vehicle during active navigation sessions.
“Today’s consumers are increasingly using smartphones for
turn-by-turn navigation in vehicles, creating a strong need for a
higher quality user experience that decreases the occurrence of
confusing or stressful re-routes and GPS lost signal messages,”
said Eitan Medina, vice president marketing and product management
at InvenSense. “We are pleased that HiSilicon, a market leader in
end-to-end chipsets and solutions, has chosen our IPL technology
for integration into its mobile platforms.”
IPL is available now for smartphones using Android, iOS, Windows
and general Linux operating systems. For additional information
