摘要: A method and system of infrastructure based mobile device navigation of an indoor area. The method, executed in a processor of a server computing device, comprises classifying, responsive to accessing an infrastructure map of the indoor area, the indoor area into a first and an at least a second infrastructure regions; localizing a mobile device within the first infrastructure region in accordance with a first positioning algorithm; and switching, responsive to identifying the mobile device within the at least a second infrastructure region, from the first positioning algorithm to an at least a second positioning algorithm as basis for localizing the mobile device.

摘要: A method and system for deploying a calibrated positioning map of an area. The method, executed in a processor of a server computing device, comprises deploying a crowd sourced magnetic fingerprint map for mobile device localization during traversal of the indoor area, accumulating received signal strength (RSS) measurements in forming a RSS fingerprint map using crowd sourced RSS measurements during the deploying, and switching, responsive to identifying desirability of a change in the mobile device localization within the indoor area, from the crowd sourced magnetic fingerprint map to the RSS fingerprint map as basis for localizing the mobile device.

摘要: A method and system of instantiating a recalibration of a magnetic fingerprint dataset of indoor facilities or infrastructure for mobile device navigation. The method comprises, based on magnetic parameters acquired from a plurality of mobile devices acquired at a set of positions within an indoor area, accumulating the magnetic parameters in accordance with a trained neural network-based magnetic fingerprint dataset in a fingerprint database of the indoor area, identifying respective positions of a subset of the set of positions having a variance that exceeds a threshold variance between observed magnetic parameters and magnetic parameters determined in accordance with the trained neural network, and when contiguous positions of the subset are encompassed by a boundary representing a portion of the indoor area, instantiating a re-calibration of the magnetic fingerprint dataset for mobile device navigation within the portion of the indoor area.

摘要: A method and system of time-offset based synchronization for mobile device indoor navigation and positioning. The method, executed in a processor of a server computing device, comprises receiving, at a set of fixed nodes, a wireless signal transmission from a moving node; deriving a time difference of flight (TDOF) offset amongst the set of fixed nodes and the moving node; and localizing the moving node at a given time based at least in part on the TDOF offset.

摘要: A method and system for deploying a magnetic distortion rejection map of an indoor area. The method comprises generating, using a processor, (i) a first distribution of magnetic fingerprint data that includes magnetic distortion data points based at least in part on a set of positions traversed by a plurality of mobile devices within the indoor area, and (ii) based on accessing a position correction factor, a second distribution of magnetic fingerprint data that includes true position data points corresponding to the magnetic distortion data points, receiving, at the memory, a set of magnetic fingerprint data that includes a second set of magnetic distortion data points based on an additional set of positions traversed by at least one additional mobile device within the indoor area, processing the second set of magnetic distortion data points, the first distribution and the second distribution to generate an updated distribution of magnetic distortion data points, and if the updated distribution exceeds a threshold density of magnetic distortion data points, deploying the updated distribution as the magnetic distortion rejection map of the area.

摘要: A method and system of signaling an anomaly state associated with a host asset device. The method, executed in a processor of a server computing device, comprises detecting, using one or more sensors, movement of an embedded device, the embedded device placed within the host asset device in an indoor facility, localizing the embedded device, determining, based on the localizing, that a position of the host asset device is substantially identical to a known nominal position of the embedded device, and signaling, based on the determining, that an anomaly state is associated with the host asset device.

摘要: A method and system of crowd-sourced training of a neural network for mobile device indoor navigation and positioning. The method, executed in a processor of a server computing device, comprises: based on RSS parameters acquired at a mobile device from a wireless signal source, localizing the mobile device to a first position within indoor area in accordance with a probabilistic confidence level; if the confidence level exceeds a threshold confidence level, adding the RSS parameters in association with the first position to a fingerprint database of the indoor area; and training a neural network implemented in the processor at least in part based on the RSS parameters as added to the fingerprint database.

摘要: A method and a device for tracking an item using a tracking device associated with the item are described. The method, executed in a processor of the tracking device, comprises identifying a location state of the tracking device as one of an indoor location and an outdoor location relative to an indoor facility, based on at least one of satellite based data and connectivity to an access point in the indoor facility. Upon identifying the location state as the indoor location, a wireless transceiver and one or more sensor devices may be activated. The sensor devices may include at least one of a wireless signal strength sensor, a wireless signal connectivity sensor, an inertial sensor, a magnetic field sensor, a barometric sensor, and an ambient light sensor. Further, indoor localization data gathered by the sensor devices may be provided for localization.

摘要: A method and system of updating a direction of traversal of a mobile device. The method comprises determining that a first and a second mobile device are traversing an indoor route in a same heading based on a first and second heading angles determined at the first and the second mobile devices respectively, the first and second heading angles having an associated first and a second confidence levels respectively, receiving a broadcast, from the second mobile device, of a localization data packet that includes data of the second heading angle and the associated second confidence level, and if the first confidence level determined at the first mobile device is lower than the second confidence level determined at the second mobile device, updating the first heading angle of the first mobile device in accordance with the second heading angle of the second mobile device.
