Autonomous semantic labeling of physical locations
First Claim
1. A semantic labeling controller, comprising:
- a transceiver to receive a plurality of radio frequency (RF) signals within a defined portion of the RF spectrum;
a sensor to generate a signal that includes data or information indicative of an ambient environment in a physical subdivision external to the controller;
RF fingerprint generator circuitry coupled to the transceiver, the RF fingerprint generator circuitry to receive a plurality of RF signals and selectively generate an RF fingerprint that includes data indicative of at least one parameter associated with each of the received RF signals;
environmental signature generator circuitry coupled to the sensor, the environmental signature generator circuitry to receive the signal that includes data or information indicative of the ambient environment in the physical subdivision and selectively generate an environmental signature that includes data indicative of the ambient environment external to the controller;
data grouping circuitry coupled to the RF fingerprint generator circuitry and to the environmental signal generator circuitry to selectively group the RF fingerprint and the environmental signature into a data cluster responsive to the RF fingerprint meeting at least one threshold condition; and
semantic labeling circuitry coupled to the data grouping circuitry to autonomously generate a proposed semantic label for logical association with the physical subdivision based at least in part on the RF fingerprint and the environmental signature included in the data cluster.

Abstract
A portable electronic device may generate a (RF) radio frequency fingerprint that includes information representative of at least a portion of RF signals received at a given physical location. The RF fingerprint may include, for example, a unique identifier and a signal strength that are both logically associated with at least a portion of the received RF signals. The portable electronic device may also receive data representative of a number of environmental parameters about the portable electronic device. These environmental parameters may be measured using sensors carried by the portable electronic device. Considered in combination, these environmental parameters provide an environmental signature for a given location. When combined into a data cluster, the RF fingerprint and the environmental signature may provide an indication of the physical subdivision where the portable electronic device is located. The portable electronic device may then generate a proposed semantic label for the physical subdivision.
