    Abstract: Various methods, apparatuses and/or articles of manufacture are provided which may be implemented to estimate a trajectory of a mobile device within an indoor environment. In some embodiments, the trajectory may be estimated without the use of any signal-based positioning information. For example, a mobile device may estimate such a trajectory based, at least in part, on one or more sensor measurements obtained at the mobile device, and further affect the estimated trajectory based, at least in part, on one or more objects identified in an electronic map of the indoor environment.

    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods and devices for application of measurements obtained from a compass or magnetometer in estimating a location of a mobile device. In specific implementations, expected signatures of local magnetic fields at locations are provided to a mobile device as positioning assistance data. In other implementations, magnetic measurements obtained by multiple mobile devices at identifiable locations in an indoor area may be combined for deriving expected signatures of local magnetic fields for use in positioning assistance data.

    Abstract: This disclosure provides devices, computer programs and methods for determining a motion direction. In one aspect, a mobile device includes sensors for measuring acceleration data. The mobile device also includes a processor and a memory that implement a motion direction estimation module configured to determine a primary axis of motion. The motion direction estimation module also determines a motion direction along the primary axis. The determination includes fitting the acceleration data, or data derived therefrom, to a bimodal distribution. A first peak of the bimodal distribution corresponds to a first motion direction along the primary axis, and a second peak corresponds to a second motion direction opposite the first. The motion direction estimation module is configured to estimate the motion direction based on the bimodal distribution. In some implementations, the motion direction estimation module selects the motion direction corresponding to the higher of the peaks as the estimated motion direction.

    Abstract: Various techniques are provided for identifying a position uncertainty of a mobile device, such as, based, at least in part, on a measure of potential hindrance of an estimated trajectory. For example, an example method may comprise estimating a trajectory of the mobile device within a particular environment, determining a measure of potential hindrance for at least a portion of the trajectory based, at least in part, on an electronic map that is indicative of a presence or an absence of one or more obstacles, and presenting an indication of a position uncertainty to a user of the mobile device. The position uncertainty may be based, at least in part, on the measure of potential hindrance.
