1. A method comprising:
- at a mobile device;
accessing an electronic map comprising a plurality of ordered informational layers representing a plurality of navigational regions within a building, wherein at least one of said plurality of ordered informational layers is indicative of items of interest that is at least partially located within and/or associated with at least a portion of at least one of said plurality of navigational layers, said items of interest comprising and/or identifying a person, an event, and a product;
determining an initial set of audible samples for use by a speech recognition capability provided at said mobile device based, at least in part, on said electronic map; and
in response to a determination that said mobile device is located within or near at least a portion of said at least one of said plurality of navigation regions based, at least in part, on receiving a wireless signal from a device provisioned as part of a wireless communication network serving at least a portion of at least one of said plurality of navigational regions, identifying a subset of said plurality of ordered informational layers; and
based, at least in part, on said subset of said plurality of ordered informational layers and said items of interest, identifying a subset of audible samples from an initial set of audible samples for use by said speech recognition capability at least while said mobile device is located within or near said portion of said at least one of said plurality of navigational regions.

Abstract
Techniques for provided which may be implemented using various methods and/or apparatuses in a mobile device to allow for speech recognition based, at least in part, on context information associated with at least a portion of at least one navigational region, e.g., associated with a location of the mobile device. A speech recognition capability may, for example, be provided with a set of audible samples based, at least in part, on the context information. Such speech recognition capability may be provided by the mobile device and/or by one or more other devices coupled to the mobile device.
