Techniques for affecting a wireless signal-based positioning capability of a mobile device based on one or more onboard sensors

摘要

Various methods, apparatuses and/or articles of manufacture are provided which may, for example, be implemented to compute one or more inferences from signals generated by one or more inertial sensors or environmental sensors, detect an erroneous condition responsive to a comparison of the computed inference(s) with an initial position or a position fix, and, in response to the detection of the erroneous condition, affect at least one process at the mobile device that is used, at least in part, to obtain a position fix.

1. A method comprising, on a mobile device:
determining a first positioning parameter based, at least in part, on a wireless positioning signal received by said mobile device; determining a second positioning parameter based, at least in part, on a signal generated by a sensor of said mobile device; and affecting an indication of uncertainty with regard to at least said first positioning parameter based, at least in part, on said first positioning parameter and said second positioning parameter.
