DETERMINING A POSITION OF A MOBILE DEVICE WITHIN BUILDINGS

摘要

The invention provides a mobile device configured for determining a position of the mobile device within buildings, the mobile device comprising: one or more motion sensors being configured for detecting directions and/or distances of a movement of the mobile device; one or more proximity sensors being configured for detecting characteristics of one or more electromagnetic fields; a relative feature spot map establishing module configured for establishing one or more relative feature spot maps comprising relative coordinates of the movement of the mobile device and relative coordinates of relative feature spots, wherein the establishing of the one or more relative feature spot maps is based on the detected directions and/or distances of the movement of the mobile device and based on the detected characteristics of the one or more electromagnetic fields; wherein the relative feature spot map establishing module is configured for transmitting the one or more relative feature spot maps to an absolute coordinates determining module configured for determining absolute coordinates of the mobile device; wherein the absolute coordinates determining module is configured for receiving a plurality of absolute feature spot maps from a memory, wherein each absolute feature spot map of the absolute feature spot maps comprises absolute coordinates of feature spots of one building of the buildings; wherein the absolute coordinates determining module is configured for determining the absolute coordinates of the position of the mobile device by determining to which absolute feature spot map of the absolute feature spot maps the one or more relative feature spot map correspond.
