Abstract

A mobile electronic device comprises a communication unit obtaining a first atmospheric pressure value from a roadside unit associated with a pedestrian bridge, an atmospheric pressure sensor obtaining a second atmospheric pressure value of the mobile electronic device, and a controller. The controller calculates a correction value of the second atmospheric pressure value based on the first atmospheric pressure value.

Claims (33)

1. A mobile electronic device, comprising:

a communicator configured to obtain a first atmospheric pressure value on a pedestrian bridge from a roadside unit associated with the pedestrian bridge;

an atmospheric pressure sensor configured to obtain a second atmospheric pressure value of the mobile electronic device; and

at least one processor configured to

determine whether or not the mobile electronic device is located on an uppermost part of the pedestrian bridge, and

when it is determined that the mobile electronic device is located on the uppermost part of the pedestrian bridge, calculate a correction value of the second atmospheric pressure value based on the first atmospheric pressure value.

2. The mobile electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein

the at least one processor is further configured to

determine a weighting coefficient based on the first atmospheric pressure value and the second atmospheric pressure value, and

multiply the correction value by the weighting coefficient to perform a correction on the atmospheric pressure sensor.

3. A roadside unit, comprising:

a first communicator configured to obtain a first atmospheric pressure value from a mobile electronic device;

a second communicator configured to transmit data to the mobile electronic device;

an atmospheric pressure sensor configured to obtain a second atmospheric pressure value on a pedestrian bridge associated with the roadside unit; and

at least one processor configured to

determine whether or not the mobile electronic device is located on an uppermost part of the pedestrian bridge, and

when it is determined that the mobile electronic device is located on the uppermost art of the pedestrian bridge

calculate a correction value of the first atmospheric pressure value based on the second atmospheric pressure value, and

control the second communicator so that the second communicator transmits the data including the calculated correction value.

4. The roadside unit according to claim 3 , wherein

the at least one processor is further configured to

determine a weighting coefficient based on the first atmospheric pressure value and the second atmospheric pressure value, and

control the second communicator so that the second communicator transmits the data including the correction value multiplied by the determined weighting coefficient.

5. A roadside unit, comprising:

a communicator configured to obtain a first atmospheric pressure value from a mobile electronic device;

an atmospheric pressure sensor configured to obtain a second atmospheric pressure value on a pedestrian bridge associated with the roadside unit; and

at least one processor configured to

determine whether or not the mobile electronic device is located on an uppermost part of the pedestrian bridge, and

when it is determined that the mobile electronic device is located on the uppermost part of the pedestrian bridge, calculate a correction value of the second atmospheric pressure value based on the first atmospheric pressure value.

6. The roadside unit according to claim 5 , wherein

the at least one processor is further configured to

determine a weighting coefficient based on the first atmospheric pressure value and the second atmospheric pressure value, and

multiply the correction value by the weighting coefficient to perform a correction on the atmospheric pressure sensor.
