Informative Display for Statistical Positioning System
First Claim
1. A method of providing location information on a mobile device, comprising:
- receiving a statistical distribution of user locations in an area, wherein the statistical distribution of user locations includes a plurality of points representing likelihood of a user at corresponding locations;
generating a weighted representation of the statistical distribution of user locations using an inverse distance weighting function;
determining one or more estimated locations of the user using the weighted representation of the statistical distribution of user locations; and
displaying the one or more estimated locations of the user in a display.

Abstract
System and method for providing informative display for statistical positioning system are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving a statistical distribution of user locations in an area, where the statistical distribution of user locations includes a plurality of points representing likelihood of a user at corresponding locations, generating a weighted statistical distribution of user locations using an inverse distance weighting function, determining one or more estimated locations of the user using the weighted statistical distribution, and displaying the one or more estimated locations of the user, or a representation of the weighted statistical distribution of user position in a display.
