SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING ERROR CORRECTION AND MANAGEMENT IN A MOBILE-BASED CROWDSOURCING PLATFORM

摘要

The present invention provides systems and methods for providing error correction and management in a mobile-based crowdsourcing platform, specifically a platform providing geolocation services. More specifically, the system of the present invention includes a plurality of remote mobile devices configured to communicate and exchange data with a cloud-based service, such as a crowdsourcing platform. The crowdsourcing platform generally provides a geolocation service based on the crowdsourcing, or polling, of users of the mobile devices so as to determine location and movement of the users within a specific environment. The system is further configured to automatically render a floor plan or layout of a location based on the user data. The system is further configured to recognize and recalibrate data errors during the collection and aggregation of the crowd-sourced data.

1. A system for providing error correction and management in a mobile-based crowdsourcing platform, the system comprising:
a mobile device for user input and interaction; and a server configured to communicate with and exchange data with the mobile device, the server comprising a processor coupled to a memory containing instructions executable by the processor to cause the server to:
receive user data from the mobile device, the user data associated with at least one of a location of the user and movement of the user within an environment over a period of time;generate a layout of the environment based on the user data;prompt a user of the mobile device for user input confirming at least one of the location of the user and movement of the user within the environment;correlate the user input with the user data;identify any discrepancies between the user input and the user data based on the correlation; andrevise the layout of the environment based on identified discrepancies.
