1. A computer-implemented method for generating an image of a floor plan of a facility, the method comprising the steps of:
- determining a location of a mobile computing device within a facility using a location determination hardware component, based on coordinates associated to the location that are obtained using the location determination hardware component;
assigning a timestamp to the coordinates that are associated to the location;
storing location information in a computer-accessible database, wherein the location information includes the coordinates associated to the location, the timestamp that is assigned to the coordinates, and a unique identifier of the mobile computing device;
generating an image of a floor plan of the facility based on the stored location information, wherein generation the image includes access n the computer-accessible database using a floor plan mapping component; and
outputting the image of the floor plan for storage in a computer-accessible floor plan database.

Abstract
Program code on a mobile computing device and a server computer determines a location of a mobile computing device within a facility, based on coordinates associated to the location. The program code assigns a timestamp to the coordinates that are associated to the location. The program code stores location information in a database, wherein the location information includes the coordinates associated to the location, the timestamp that is assigned to the coordinates, and a unique identifier of the mobile computing device. The program code generates an image of a floor plan of the facility.
