Abstract:
The subject matter disclosed herein relates to systems, methods, apparatuses, articles, etc. for mobile device locating in conjunction with localized environments. For certain example implementations, a method may comprise obtaining at a mobile device one or more signals comprising information indicative of a location thereof. The information may be transmitted to one or more servers. A location context identifier (LCI) may be received responsive to the transmitting, with the LCI corresponding to a localized environment at which the mobile device is located. The LCI may be transmitted to the one or more servers. Location-based data may be received responsive to the transmitting of the LCI, with the location-based data being associated with the LCI and pertaining to the localized environment. The location of the mobile device may be determined with respect to the localized environment based, at least in part, on the location-based data. Other example implementations are described herein.
Abstract:
During access point discovery, an initial list of access points available for connection is generated. The received signal strength indication (RSSI) and round trip time (RTT) delay for the access points in the initial list are measured, e.g., during discovery and by a plurality of active measurements. The initial list is pruned based on an initial and subsequent RSSI and RTT measurements to produce a master list of access points. The pruning of the initial list of access points may be based on the differentials in the RSSI measurements and the RTT measurements as well as a determination of access points that the mobile device is moving away from. As the mobile device moves to different locations, access points from the master list may be selected and connected with based on the expected duration of availability as determined by RSSI and RTT measurements.
Abstract:
Techniques for determining brand information and refining a position of a mobile device are described herein. An example of a method for displaying branding information on a mobile device includes receiving a reference image feature data table based on a rough location of the mobile device, such that the reference image feature data table includes a collection of entity records and wherein each entity record includes a plurality of logo image feature fields, obtaining an image including a displayed logo, utilizing an image recognition process and the reference image feature data table on the image to determine a recognized logo, and displaying brand information based on the recognized logo.
Abstract:
Disclosed are systems, apparatus, devices, methods, computer program products, and other implementations, including a method that includes determining location of a device, and controlling monitoring of behavior of one or more processes executing on the device based on the determined location of the device to identify potential one or more security-risky processes from the monitored one or more executing processes. In some embodiments, controlling the monitoring of the behavior of the one or more processes may include one or more of, for example, adjusting frequency of the monitoring of the one or more processes based on the determined location of the device, adjusting level of detail obtained for the monitored behavior of the one or more processes based on the determined location of the device, and/or adjusting features being observed for the monitored one or more processes based on the determined location of the device.
Abstract:
Techniques are provided for adaptively sampling orientation sensors in positioning systems based on location (e.g., map) data. Embodiments can enable a device to use location, direction, and/or location information to anticipate an expected change in motion. The embodiments can then identify and prioritize a number of sampling strategies to alter sampling rates of orientation sensors, and implement at least one strategy, based on priority.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses are directed to calibrating a misconfigured wireless access point. One method may include receiving a position of mobile station(s) and wireless signal model measurements derived from packets exchanged between the mobile station(s) and a plurality of wireless access points, receiving positions and/or identities of the plurality of wireless access points used in determining the position of the mobile station(s), comparing a position of the mobile station(s) with wireless signal model measurements, and identifying a misconfigured wireless access point based upon the comparing. Another method may include receiving positions associated with a plurality of wireless access points, determining a position of a mobile station based upon a wireless signal model, comparing the position of the mobile station and the wireless signal model with the positions associated with the plurality of wireless access points, and determining whether at least one wireless access point is misconfigured.

Abstract:
Techniques are provided in which a mobile station may determine a first round-trip time (RTT) for a first measurement related communication between the transceiver and a first network device, wherein the first RTT comprises a uniform delay of time applied during the first measurement related communication by the first network device; Determine a second RTT for a second measurement related communication between the transceiver and a second network device, wherein the second RTT comprises the uniform delay of time applied during the second measurement related communication by the second network device; and determine, at least in part, a position of the mobile station with regard to at least the first and second network devices based, at least in part, on the first RTT and the second RTT.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for determining whether a mobile device is indoors or outdoors based on ambient signal measurements are described herein. A method for performing indoor/outdoor detection for a mobile device as described herein includes identifying one or more selected radio channels, including at least one of amplitude modulation (AM) radio stations, frequency modulation (FM) radio stations, or television stations, in an area of the mobile device; obtaining information relating to reference outdoor signal strengths for the respective selected radio channels; calculating measured signal strengths for signals received via the selected radio channels; comparing the reference outdoor signal strengths and the measured signal strengths; and classifying the mobile device as indoors or outdoors based on a result of the comparison.
