SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETERMINING POSITION INFORMATION USING ENVIRONMENTAL SENSING
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for determining position information for a mobile device associated with a user comprising:
- detecting a pattern of sensor data associated with an environmental condition at a known first location at a first time;
providing a first mobile device having a sensor configured to detect an environmental condition;
detecting a pattern of sensor data with the first mobile device at a second time;
matching the pattern of sensor data detected by the first mobile device with the pattern of sensor data detected at the known first location; and
determining position information for the first mobile device using the known first location.

Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for determining position information for a mobile device by correlating patterns of data obtained with environmental sensors. A pattern of sensor data associated with an environmental condition may be detected at known location and then matched with a pattern of sensor data detected by the mobile device to determine position information.
