First Claim
Patent Images
1. A mobile computer characterized in that:
- a processor, of the mobile computer, is configured to determine, with utilization of environmental sensor data, a floor in a building where the mobile computer is located;
the mobile computer is configured to track indoor position on the floor, wherein the indoor position is tracked with a combination of Wi-Fi related position data and an estimated distance traveled that is determined with accelerometer data;
the processor is further configured to determine an area of the floor in the building with the estimated distance travelled; and
wherein the indoor position is associated with a probability related accuracy value.
