Map handling for location based services in conjunction with localized environments
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- storing map information corresponding to a particular localized environment that is associated with a particular location context identifier, the particular localized environment comprising an indoor environment corresponding to at least a portion of a building structure;
receiving and accumulating update information from a plurality of remote mobile devices, wherein the update information is applicable to the map information corresponding to the particular localized environment, the update information being associated with the particular location context identifier, wherein the update information from each remote mobile device comprises a same changed localized environment information;
updating the map information corresponding to the particular localized environment based at least partly on the update information to produce updated map information in response to the update information with the same changed localized environment information having been provided by a predetermined threshold number of remote mobile devices greater than one; and
providing the updated map information to one or more mobile devices that are located at the particular localized environment.

Abstract
The subject matter disclosed herein relates to systems, methods, apparatuses, devices, articles, and means for map handling for location based services in conjunction with localized environments. For certain example implementations, a method may comprise storing map information corresponding to a particular localized environment that is associated with a particular location context identifier, with the particular localized environment comprising an indoor environment corresponding to at least a portion of a building structure; receiving update information applicable to the map information corresponding to the particular localized environment, with the update information being associated with the particular location context identifier; updating the map information corresponding to the particular localized environment based at least partly on the update information so as to produce updated map information; and providing the updated map information to one or more mobile devices that are located at the particular localized environment. Other example implementations are described herein.
