COLLABORATIVE NAVIGATION TECHNIQUES FOR MOBILE DEVICES
First Claim
1. A method for performing collaborative navigation between a plurality of mobile devices, the method comprising:
- with a first mobile device, in response to a determination that at least a second mobile device is located within a threshold distance of said first mobile device;
obtaining a navigation parameter indicative of an initial position and/or movement of said second mobile device, said initial position and/or movement of said second mobile device being determined based, at least in part, on a measurement from a sensor at said second mobile device; and
affecting a determined position and/or movement of said first mobile device based, at least in part, on said navigation parameter.

Abstract
Various methods, apparatuses and/or articles of manufacture are provided which may be implemented to perform and/or otherwise support collaborative navigation between a plurality of mobile devices. In one example, a first mobile device, in response to a determination that at least a second mobile device is located within a threshold distance of the first mobile device, may obtain a navigation parameter indicative of an initial position and/or movement of the second mobile device which was determined based, at least in part, on a measurement from a sensor at the second mobile device. The first mobile device then affect a determined position and/or movement of the first mobile device based, at least in part, on the navigation parameter.

50. A computing platform at a first mobile device to perform collaborative navigation between a plurality of mobile devices, the computing platform comprising:
-
a communication interface; and a processing unit to; in response to a determination that at least a second mobile device is located within a threshold distance of said first mobile device;
obtain, via said communication interface, a navigation parameter indicative of an initial position and/or movement of said second mobile device, said initial position and/or movement of said second mobile device being determined based, at least in part, on a measurement from a sensor at said second mobile device; and
affect a determined position and/or movement of said first mobile device based, at least in part, on said navigation parameter. - View Dependent Claims (51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73)
