Patent Searching and Data


Title:
ACCELERATION DATA CORRECTION DEVICE, ITS CORRECTION METHOD, ITS CORRECTION PROGRAM, RECORDING MEDIUM FOR RECORDING ITS CORRECTION PROGRAM AND NAVIGATION DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2003307524
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To provide a navigation device having an acceleration sensor correction means for easily correcting acceleration calculated from an acceleration sensor.

Actual acceleration of a vehicle is calculated from a speed sensor 4. An inclination is calculated by acquiring horizontal directional and vertical directional speed data on the basis of a frequency change by a Doppler effect of a navigation radio wave received from a plurality of GPS satellites by a GPS receiving part 2. A sine value (G.sinθ) to gravitational acceleration is calculated on the basis of the inclination. Theoretical acceleration of the acceleration sensor is calculated by adding the actual acceleration and (G.sinθ). A value by dividing the theoretical acceleration of the acceleration sensor by sensitivity of the acceleration sensor 6 is subtracted from a sensor output value of the acceleration sensor 6, and is renewed by properly performing leveling processing by determining a correct offset value. The correct offset value can be easily acquired even at traveling time.
