Characterizing an indoor structure based on detected movements and/or position locations of a mobile device

摘要

Various methods, apparatuses and articles of manufacture are provided which may be implemented in various devices for use in characterizing environments. In an example, a mobile device may, gather a plurality of measurements during a period of time, including one or more first measurements generated by one or more environmental sensors, and one or more second measurement generated by a radio based, at least in part, on one or more wireless signals received by the radio. In response to a determination that the mobile device is to report a travel history corresponding to at least a portion of the period of time, the mobile device may generate a travel log based, at least in part, on at least one first measurement and at least one second measurement, and transmit the travel log to an external device.

主权项

1. A method comprising, at a mobile device:
in response to said mobile device accessing a radio signal heatmap to determine that said mobile device is entering or within an area of location uncertainty identified, at least in part, in said radio signal heatmap, gathering a plurality of measurements during a period of time, said plurality of measurements comprising at least a first measurement generated by one or more environmental sensors, and a second measurement generated by a radio based, at least in part, on one or more wireless signals received by said radio; and in response to a determination that said mobile device is to report a travel history corresponding to at least a portion of said period of time:
generating a travel log for at least said portion of said period of time based, at least in part, on at least said first measurement and said second measurement; andtransmitting one or more signals representing said travel log to an external device.
