Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program product for location transition determination are described. A mobile device can use location fingerprint data and sensor readings to determine a transition of the mobile device into or out of a portion of a venue by using particle filters. When the mobile device determines that the mobile device is located at a first portion of the venue, e.g., on a given floor, the mobile device can introduce candidate locations, or particles, on a second portion of the venue and candidate locations outside of the venue. If estimated locations at the first portion of the venue do not converge, the mobile device can increase weight of the candidate locations that are outside of the first portion of the venue to detect possible transition to the second portion of the venue or to outside of the venue.

Abstract: In some implementations, a location of a mobile device can be determined by calculating an average of the locations of wireless signal transmitters that have transmitted signals received by the mobile device. In some implementations, locations are weighted with coefficients and the average is a weighted average. In some implementations, the locations of the wireless signal transmitters are determined based on identification information encoded in the wireless signals received by the mobile device. The identification information can include an identifier for a wireless signal transmitter. The identification information can include characteristics of the received wireless signal that can be used to identify wireless signal transmitters. In some implementations, identification information from one signal can be combined with identification information from another signal to determine a location of a wireless transmitter.

Abstract: Methods, program products, and systems for using multiple sensors to determine a location fingerprint are described. A sampling device can measure RF signals detected at a train station of a transit system or a route of the transit system. The sampling device, or a location server receiving the measurements, can filter RF signal measurements using one or more readings from sensors coupled to the sampling device and that are different from RF receivers. The readings can be taken concurrently with the RF signal measurements. These readings, designated as motion cues, can include motion sensor readings, barometer readings, or magnetometer readings. Using the motion cues, the sampling device or location server can distinguish different platforms of a station of the transit system and different levels of the station, or filter out RF signal measurements that may have been inaccurate, e.g., as caused by disturbances from a train entering or leaving a station.

Abstract: Methods, program products, and systems for using a location fingerprint database to determine a location of a mobile device are described. A mobile device can use location fingerprint data received from a server to determine a location of the mobile device at the venue. The mobile device can obtain, from a sensor of the mobile device, a vector of sensor readings, each sensor reading can measure an environment variable, e.g., a signal received by the sensor from a signal source. The mobile device can perform a statistical match between the vector and the location fingerprint data. The mobile device can then estimate a current location of the mobile device based on the statistical match.

Abstract: Techniques of range free proximity determination are described. A mobile device can determine an entry into or exit from a proximity fence upon determining that the mobile device is sufficiently close to a signal source. The proximity fence can be a virtual fence defined by the signal source and associated with a service. The mobile device can detect signals from multiple signal sources. The mobile device can determine that, among the signal sources, one or more signal sources are located closest to the mobile device based on a ranking of the signal sources using signal strength. The mobile device can determine a probability indicating a confident level of the ranking. The mobile device can determine that the mobile device entered or exited a proximity fence associated with a highest ranked signal source satisfying a confidence threshold.

Abstract: Surveying techniques for generating location fingerprint data are described. A mobile device can survey a venue by measuring, at multiple locations at the venue, signals from one or more signal sources. At each location, the mobile device can take multiple measurements of signals. The mobile device can take each measurement at a distinct orientation. The measurements can be used to determine expected measurements of the signals at the venue. Differences between the multiple measurements of signals can be used to determine a variance of the expected measurements. The expected measurements and variance can be designated as location fingerprint data for the venue. The location fingerprint data can be used by mobile devices for determining a location at the venue.

Abstract: Methods, program products, and systems for using a location fingerprint database to determine a location of a mobile device are described. A mobile device can use a location fingerprint database to determine the location where GPS signals are unavailable. A server can generate location fingerprint data for the database. The server can generate the location fingerprint data using crowd sourcing, using known locations of signal sources, or both. The server can receive, from a sampling device, measurements of environment variables, e.g., signals from a signal source at one or more sampling points. The server can extrapolate, from the received measurements, estimated measurements at one or more locations in a venue. The server can store the extrapolated measurements as location fingerprint data. The server can send the location fingerprint data to a mobile device for determining a location of the mobile device when the mobile device is at the venue.
