TARGETED DATA COLLECTION FOR POSITIONING SYSTEMS
First Claim
1. A system for selectively collecting data based on performance targets for a positioning system, said system comprising:
- a memory area for storing data collected from a plurality of devices; and
a processor programmed to;
divide a market area into a plurality of areas;
determine performance of a positioning system in each of the plurality of areas;
access performance targets associated with the positioning system;
identify one or more of the plurality of areas based at least on the determined performance and the accessed performance targets;
select at least one of the devices in each of the identified areas; and
adjust data collection from the selected devices to affect performance of the positioning system in the identified areas.

Abstract
Selecting devices from which to receive data for adjusting the performance of a positioning system. The positioning system infers the location of the devices based on beacons observed by the devices. The performance of the positioning system is compared to performance targets. One or more of the devices are selected based on the comparison. Data collection from the devices is adjusted to affect performance of the positioning system (e.g., improved or reduced). For example, if the positioning system predicts positions poorly for a particular area, data collection from selected devices within the particular area may be increased.

9. A method comprising:
-
determining performance of a positioning system, said positioning system collecting data from at least one of a plurality of devices; accessing performance targets associated with the positioning system; selecting one or more of the devices based at least on the determined performance and the accessed performance targets; and adjusting data collection from the selected devices to affect performance of the positioning system. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. One or more computer-readable media having computer-executable components, said components comprising:
-
a score component that when executed by at least one processor causes the at least one processor to determine device attributes including one or more of a coverage value, an accuracy value, and a response time value for each of a plurality of devices based on data collected from the plurality of devices by a positioning system; a target component that when executed by at least one processor causes the at least one processor to access performance targets associated with the positioning system; a budget component that when executed by at least one processor causes the at least one processor to select one or more of the devices based at least on the device attributes determined by the score component and the performance targets accessed by the target component; and a source component that when executed by at least one processor causes the at least one processor to adjust data collection from the devices selected by the budget component to affect performance of the positioning system. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
