    Abstract: This disclosure provides devices, computer programs, and methods for estimating reliability metrics. In one aspect, a mobile device includes sensors for measuring acceleration data, a processor, and a memory storing instructions that implement a plurality of modules. The modules include a motion direction estimation module for estimating a motion direction based on the acceleration data. The modules also include a reliability metric computation module for estimating reliability metrics. For example, the reliability metric computation module can estimate a first reliability metric based on a process used to estimate the motion direction, a second reliability metric based on a measure of stability of the device, and a third reliability metric based on a measure of consistency in the estimated motion direction over a period. The reliability metric computation module calculates a composite reliability metric that indicates a measure of certainty in the estimated motion direction based on the estimated reliability metrics.

    Abstract: Various techniques are provided which may be implemented as methods, apparatuses and articles of manufacture for use by a mobile device or one or more computing devices to provide for or otherwise support motion state based mobile device positioning. In an example, a method may be implemented at a mobile device to identify two or more subsets of grid points corresponding to an electronic map representing a particular environment, select one of the two or more subsets of grid points for use in position estimation based, at least in part, on a motion state of the mobile device, and determine an estimated position of the mobile device based, at least in part, on the selected subset of grid points.

    Abstract: Performance of step detectors in mobile devices can be enhanced by calculating the probability of a step and providing the probability to an application. Adaptive data models can also be used that can be based on different types of motion (walking with mobile device in hand, climbing stairs with mobile device in purse, running with mobile device in pocket, etc.), and can adapt to a particular user's motion. Where applications allow, embodiments can further utilize data modeling to detect a pattern (e.g., a series of steps) and adjust the probability calculation accordingly.

    Abstract: Disclosed are methods, apparatuses and systems for tracking a location of a mobile device based, at least in part, on measurements over time. In response to measurements, particles in a motion model may be propagated in a first routing graph covering an area. Propagated particles may be indicative of a direction of movement along a second routing graph covering the same area or a larger area in some embodiments.
