  • Patent number: 10142959
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to generating or updating an access point model. The model may be generated based in part on access point model data, e.g., collected scan information from devices that travel through an indoor space. The wireless access point model may include an indoor map of a location or building. At some point, it may be determined that the access point model data may not meet a predetermined quality threshold. For example, the data may be outdated or inaccurate. A request is generated and transmitted to a client device within a predetermined distance of the access point associated with the access point model. In response to the request, the device travels to the indoor space associated with the access point to collect scan information. The scan information is used to update or otherwise modify the access point model.

  • Publication number: 20150154621
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to generating incentives. An access point model may be generated based in part on access point model data, e.g., collected scan information from devices that travel through an indoor space. The wireless access point model may include an indoor map of a location or building, such as a store or portion of a store. At some point, it may be determined that the access point model data may not meet a predetermined quality threshold. For example, the data may be outdated or inaccurate. An incentive may be generated and transmitted to a client device within a predetermined distance of the access point associated with the access point model. When the client device redeems the incentive and enters the indoor space associated with the access point, scan information may be collected. The scan information may be used to update or otherwise modify the access point model.
