发明名称 LOCATION DETERMINATION USING A STATE SPACE ESTIMATOR
摘要 Methods, program products, and systems for using a location fingerprint database to determine a location of a mobile device are described. A mobile device can use location fingerprint data and readings of a sensor to obtain a location observation. The mobile device can use the location observation in a particle filter for determining a location of the mobile device at a venue. Using state of movement of the mobile device and a map of the venue, the mobile device can determine one or more candidate locations of the device. The mobile device can then update the candidate locations using a next observation, and determine a probability density function based on the candidate locations. The mobile device can then present to a user a most probable location as a current location of the device in the venue.

主权项 1. A method comprising: determining, by a mobile device, an initial location of the mobile device, the initial location being at a venue, the venue comprising a space accessible by a pedestrian and one or more constraints of movement of the pedestrian; determining, based on a reading of a sensor of the mobile device, a state of motion of the mobile device; determining a plurality of candidate locations of the mobile device based at least in part on the initial location, the state of motion, and a map of the venue specifying the one or more constraints; receiving, by the mobile device, a location observation, the location observation including an estimated location of the mobile device in the space, the estimated location being determined based on readings of one or more sensors of the mobile device and location fingerprint data describing attributes of signals measurable by the one or more sensors when the mobile device is at the venue; filtering the candidate locations using the location observation, including determining a likely location of the mobile device based on the candidate locations, the observation, and a probability model; and providing the likely location for output as a current location of the mobile device.
