AUGMENTING INDOOR-OUTDOOR DETECTION USING SIDE INFORMATION

摘要

Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for determining indoor/outdoor state of a mobile device are presented. In some embodiments, a sensor reading is obtained from a sensor accessible by the mobile device. Contemporaneous information related to a local condition associated with an area where the mobile device is located is obtained. At least the sensor reading and the information related to a local condition are provided as input to an indoor/outdoor detection model selected from a plurality of trained models. Based on the model, the mobile device is classified as indoors or outdoors.

主权项

1. A method of performing indoor/outdoor detection for a mobile device comprising:
obtaining a sensor reading from a sensor accessible by the mobile device; obtaining contemporaneous information related to a local condition associated with an area where the mobile device is located; selecting an indoor/outdoor detection model to apply from a plurality of trained models, the selection based at least in part on the contemporaneous information regarding the local condition; providing the sensor reading as input to the selected model; determining a likelihood that a user of the mobile device is located indoors based on the selected model; classifying the mobile device as indoors or outdoors based on the likelihood.
