Abstract: A system and method for mapping an indoor environment. A client device may receive an indication of a starting point on a floor plan. The client device may prompt the user to travel in a particular direction and indicate when the user can no longer travel in that direction. As the user travels from the starting point in the designated direction, the client device may gather information about the indoor environment. For example, the client device may gather wireless signal strength data, cellular tower strength data, or video image data while the user travels in the designated direction. The client device may associate the gathered information with the path the user traveled from the starting point to the ending point. The client device may indicate the area for which valid location information is available based on the path the user traveled and the information the user collected.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to using position information to provide advertisements. More specifically, wireless network access point data may be used to identify the position of a mobile device in an indoor space, which, in turn, may be used to identify products within the vicinity of the identified position. Based on the identified products, a server may send advertisements of the same or related products available at other locations to the mobile device.

Abstract translation: 本公开的方面一般涉及使用位置信息来提供广告。 更具体地，可以使用无线网络接入点数据来识别在室内空间中的移动设备的位置，而室内空间又可以用于识别所识别位置附近的产品。 基于所识别的产品，服务器可以将在其他位置可用的相同或相关产品的广告发送到移动设备。
