    摘要: In some implementations, a beaconing protocol can be used to broadcast beacon information to mobile devices. The beaconing protocol can be used by a Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) (e.g., Bluetooth 4.0) beacon to transmit a package of information that identifies the beacon and indicates the calibrated transmission power (e.g., measured power) of the beacon. The package of information can be configured by beacon providers and/or beacon installers at the locations where the beacons are installed. When a mobile device receives the beacon package, the mobile device can use the beacon identification information and/or the measured power of the beacon to determine a location (e.g., precise location, geofence location) of the mobile device. In some implementations, the mobile device can transmit the beacon information to a server and the server can determine the location of the mobile device and send location and/or content information back to the mobile device.

    摘要: A location-aware device detects if a personal or point of interest region has been entered or exited and a current context of the device. In response, an operating mode is selected based on the region and a current context of the device. The operating mode is configurable by a user, including setting geofence parameters, context parameters and operating mode parameters.

    摘要: Methods, program products, and systems of using a mobile WAP for location and context purposes are disclosed. In general, in one aspect, a server can estimate an effective location of a wireless access gateway using harvested data. The server can harvest location data from multiple mobile devices. The harvested data can include a location of each mobile device and an identifier of a wireless access gateway that is located within a communication range of the mobile device. In some implementations, the server can identify a mobile wireless access gateway based on a distance comparison. Data indicating the mobility of a wireless access gateway can be used by a mobile device to initiate one or more actions, including managing power of the mobile device, modifying entrance and exit conditions of virtual fences and determining a context of the mobile device.

    摘要: A mobile device can send a request to a server having a plurality of tiles of location data associated with a venue, each tile having location data associated with a portion of the venue, the request including data representing an estimated location of the mobile device. The mobile device can receive a first tile of location data sent from the server, the first tile being associated with a first portion of the venue that includes the estimated location. The mobile device can receive a first sensor reading and determine a first location of the mobile device at the venue using the first sensor reading and the first tile of location data. The mobile device may receive a second tile of location data sent from the server, the second tile being associated with a second portion of the venue. The mobile device may receive a second sensor reading and determine a second location of the mobile device at the venue using the second sensor reading and the second tile of location data.

    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 a location fingerprint database to determine the location where GPS signals are unavailable. A server can generate location fingerprint data for the database. The server can generate the location fingerprint data using crowd sourcing, using known locations of signal sources, or both. The server can receive, from a sampling device, measurements of environment variables, e.g., signals from a signal source at one or more sampling points. The server can extrapolate, from the received measurements, estimated measurements at one or more locations in a venue. The server can store the extrapolated measurements as location fingerprint data. The server can send the location fingerprint data to a mobile device for determining a location of the mobile device when the mobile device is at the venue.

    摘要: A mobile device can monitor a current location using a multi-tier approach. A baseband subsystem can monitor a coarse location of the mobile device using various course location parameters, such as a mobile country code (MCC), a location area code (LAC), or a cell identifier (cell ID), as the mobile device moves closer to the geographic region. Upon determining that the mobile device is in a cell that intersects the geographic region, the baseband subsystem can transfer the monitoring to the application subsystem. The task can be performed when the application subsystem determines that the mobile device is currently located in the geographic region. A beacon network can provide more accurate estimates of mobile device location and advertise location based services available to the mobile device.
