Abstract
(EN)
Technology for facilitating position determination is disclosed. A satellite with a known location can activate a light source on the satellite operable to emit light. The satellite can emit the light for a defined period of time to enable a receiver to detect the light and determine a geographical location using the light emitted from the satellite.

La présente invention concerne une technologie pour faciliter une détermination de position. Un satellite à un emplacement connu peut activer une source de lumière sur le satellite utilisable pour émettre de la lumière. Le satellite peut émettre de la lumière pendant une période de temps définie pour permettre à un récepteur de détecter la lumière et de déterminer un emplacement géographique à l’aide de la lumière émise par le satellite.
