As LEO satellites for PNT are expected to independently provide space-time references in the future, similar to Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) satellites, the accurate determination of their broadcast ephemerides becomes crucial. This paper proposes the open-source software LOBEFIT (LeO satellite Broadcast Ephemeris Fitting), which utilizes the automatic differentiation technique to fit LEO satellite broadcast ephemeris parameters. The primary advantage of this software lies in its ability to allow users to focus on implementing various broadcast ephemeris models without the need to manually derive complex partial derivatives with respect to broadcast ephemeris parameters. Centimeter-level fitting accuracy can be achieved by selecting appropriate broadcast models for different LEO satellites using this software. The paper provides the description, use and impact of the LOBEFIT software in satellite navigation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":21905,"journal":{"name":"SoftwareX","volume":"29 ","pages":"Article 101980"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142759812","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address this era's critical child health and development problem, in this paper an innovative mHealth application– ScreenSafeFuture—is proposed. ScreenSafeFuture provides practical solutions that seamlessly fit into parents' busy lifestyles, acknowledging the effectiveness and convenience of smartphones as a healthcare tool. The solution includes essential features designed to enhance the experience between parents and their children under 3 years old encompassing an alternative activity advocator for a personalized parent-offspring scenario, screen time tracking based on current standards, an educational reservoir for parents, and a rewarding system for long-term user engagement. This paper presents a functional ScreenSafeFuture iOS prototype, that will undergo parent usability testing, followed by continuous advancements based on user feedback. Future evaluation will focus on predicting the differences in average daily screen time consumption and changes in parental media management practices. The next milestone will assess app usage frequency and duration, completion of in-app activities, user satisfaction scores, retention and completion rates. Final milestone will analyse changes in parental knowledge, shifts in parental attitudes, and increased awareness of resources. These development phases will utilize the Delphi panel consensus for a more reliable and robust outcome, ensuring its effectiveness in addressing screen addiction challenges and supporting younger generations' healthy development.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":21905,"journal":{"name":"SoftwareX","volume":"29 ","pages":"Article 101996"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142759813","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
