First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising, at a mobile device:
- detecting a transition of a location of the mobile device between levels of a structure based, at least in part, on a change in an environmental condition detected via one or more sensors disposed on the mobile device;
obtaining observations of wireless signals responsive to detecting the transition between the levels of the structure;
selectively batching said obtained observations according to said detected transition; and
transmitting one or more messages to a server comprising the obtained batched observations in association with the detected transition.

19. An apparatus comprising:
-
one or more processors coupled to a memory, the one or more processors and the memory configured to; detect a transition of a location of a mobile device between levels of a structure based, at least in part, on a change in an environmental condition detected via one or more sensors disposed on the mobile device; and a wireless transceiver to communicate with an electronic communications network to; obtain observations of wireless signals responsive to detecting the transition between the levels of the structure; selectively batch said obtained observations according to said detected transition; and transmit one or more messages to a server comprising the obtained batched observations in association with the detected transition. - View Dependent Claims (20)
