METHOD OF NON-SATELLITE NAVIGATION Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC G01S19/42 

FIELD: radio engineering, communication.

SUBSTANCE: radio-frequency tags are installed on road signs, traffic lights, poles, trees, buildings, and structures, as well as other artificial objects and non-living objects suitable for this purpose, while their information data characterizing the uniqueness of each label location are contrasted with analogous data printed on an electronic map and/or stored in the database. Tag coordinates are assigned relative to the boundaries of a city or other locality object, an area, a region, an administrative unit or a state by building a grid, where the southernmost point of the boundary is a zero-numerical value of the index (number) in the position indicated by a single letter of the alphabet, the western point - in the position indicated by a different letter of the alphabet. The coordinates of the remaining tags following the tag(s) with a zero index for either of the two letter positions are obtained by adding, for example, units to the indexes of the tag positions. Tag coordinates consider prohibiting and prescribing traffic signs located at intersections, branches and forks of the road directly, where they are installed, as well as on adjacent intersections, branches and forks. Paving the object route is carried out by connecting the next tag (s) from the initial point, at which the user is located, nearest to the desired point of the tag(s) across all tags lying between them, and then selecting the minimum distance.

EFFECT: providing navigation services in a zone containing RF tags at arbitrary trajectories of the user movement.
