CORRELATING WIRELESS SIGNALS TO A LOCATION ON AN IMAGE USING MOBILE SENSOR TECHNOLOGIES
First Claim
1. A method of correlating wireless signals to a location in an image in a first computer comprising a memory, comprising:
- receiving a user event at the first computer, which user event associates the first computer with a first position in the image;
receiving data from sensors at the first computer;
determining a second position of the first computer based on the data received from the sensors;
sampling wireless signal information at the first computer;
storing the wireless signal information in association with the determined second position as correlated wireless signal and determined position information; and
transmitting the correlated wireless signal and determined position information to a second computer.

Abstract
Using ground truth events and sensors available on a first mobile device, an algorithm executed at the first mobile device determines the mobile device'"'"'s position; the first mobile device also obtains wireless signal information; the wireless signal information is associated with the position determined via the sensor data and ground truth events; the associated data is stored and may be sent to or used by a second device; the second device may then, for example, detect then-current wireless signal information and may locate the second device by looking up the then-current wireless signal information in the associated data.
