METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ADAPTIVE POSITIONING
First Claim
1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a sensor configured to generate data indicative of motions of the apparatus;
an environmental profile determination module configured to receive the data indicative of the motions of the apparatus, and detect an environmental profile from a plurality of environmental profiles for the apparatus based on the data; and
a profile based position provider including a plurality of configurations associated with the plurality of environmental profiles, the profile based position provider being configured in one of the configurations associated with the environmental profile, and being configured to select a positioning source to determine a location of the apparatus based on the configuration.

Abstract
The present disclosure provides methods and apparatus for adaptively performing position determination in response to environmental profile determination. Aspects of the disclosure provide an apparatus including a sensor, an environmental profile determination module, and a profile based position provider. The sensor is configured to generate data indicative of motions of the apparatus. The environmental profile determination module is configured to receive the data indicative of the motions of the apparatus, and detect an environmental profile from a plurality of environmental profiles for the apparatus based on the data. The profile based position provider includes a plurality of configurations associated with the plurality of environmental profiles. The profile based position provider is configured in one of the configurations associated with the environmental profile, and is configured to select a positioning source to determine a location of the apparatus based on the configuration.
