摘要:
A device stores an indication of a current floor of a multiple floor building on which a device is located. The device measures signal strengths of signals received at the device from transmitters having known locations on the floors of the building. The device selects one of the multiple floors as a candidate floor based in part on the measured signal strengths. The device increases a confidence level associated with the indication of the current floor if the candidate floor corresponds to the current floor, and decreases the confidence level if the candidate floor does not correspond to the current floor. The device replaces the indication of the current floor with the candidate floor if the confidence level is below a threshold.

摘要:
Technologies for location privacy management include a mobile computing device to determine whether an application is authorized to obtain the location of the mobile computing device based on a determined location and location access policy of the mobile computing device. The location access policy includes policy rules that identify whether the application is authorized to obtain the location of the mobile computing device. If the mobile computing device determines that the application is not authorized to obtain the location of the mobile computing device, the mobile computing device blocks the application from obtaining the location.

Methods and mechanisms for exchanging map information in a wireless communication. In an embodiment, map information to represent at least a portion of a map is advertised by a first communication device communication independent of any request for the map information being received in a data session or a voice session. In another embodiment, a second communication device receives the wireless communication and generates a representation of the map based on the advertised map information.

Embodiments of the invention address how trilateration processes are affected by physical placement and sub-optimal selection of peer devices (PDs) used to obtain a location of a mobile computing device. Embodiments of the invention describe processes for selecting nearest PDs over further PDs, as received signal strength indicator (RSSI) measurements are more reliable—i.e., said “nearest PDs” provide more accurate distance measurements while improving the probability of finding more intersection points. Embodiments of the invention further describe selecting a physical spread of PDs to help increase the number of intersection points while helping distinction/resolution of the location of the mobile device in both the ‘x’ (longitude) and the ‘y’ (latitude) directions. Embodiments of the invention further enhance trilateration processes by utilizing dampening values for calculated location poll data.

A mechanism is described for facilitating dynamic client-side triangulation to determine global position of computing devices according to one embodiment of the invention. A method of embodiments of the invention includes detecting, at a computing device, first location information associated with static wireless access points. The method may further include detecting, at the computing device, second location information associated with roaming computing devices broadcasting the second location information relating to their current locations, and dynamically determining a current location of the computing device based on the first and second location information.
