Electromagnetic Reflection Profiles
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method, comprising:
- transmitting, by a mobile device, radio signals;
determining, by the mobile device, a current location at which the radio signals are transmitted;
querying, by the mobile device, an electronic database for the current location, the electronic database electronically associating electromagnetic reflection profiles to locations;
determining, by the mobile device, that the electronic database lacks an entry that matches the current location at which the radio signals are transmitted;
transmitting, by the mobile device, an impulse in response to the electronic database lacking the entry, the impulse for determining an electromagnetic reflection profile at the location; and
adding, by the mobile device, the entry to the electronic database describing the electromagnetic reflection profile at the current location at which the radio signals are transmitted.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and products determine electromagnetic reflective characteristics of ambient environments. A wireless communications device sends a cellular impulse and receives reflections of the cellular impulse. The cellular impulse and the reflections of the cellular impulse may be compared to determine the electromagnetic reflective characteristics of an ambient environment.

1. A method, comprising:
-
transmitting, by a mobile device, radio signals; determining, by the mobile device, a current location at which the radio signals are transmitted; querying, by the mobile device, an electronic database for the current location, the electronic database electronically associating electromagnetic reflection profiles to locations; determining, by the mobile device, that the electronic database lacks an entry that matches the current location at which the radio signals are transmitted; transmitting, by the mobile device, an impulse in response to the electronic database lacking the entry, the impulse for determining an electromagnetic reflection profile at the location; and adding, by the mobile device, the entry to the electronic database describing the electromagnetic reflection profile at the current location at which the radio signals are transmitted. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)
