  • Publication number: 20200037905
    Abstract: A wrist worn heart rate monitor includes a photoplethysmogram (PPG) sensor and an inertial sensor. Signals from the inertial sensor are used to identify and remove noise from the PPG signals. An initial heart rate value is selected from a number of heart rate candidates that remain in the resulting PPG spectrum and is used to track the heart rate of the user. The PPG spectrum is monitored while tracking the heart rate to determine if the selected initial heart rate value is in error. The PPG spectrum may be monitored by determining a correlation of possible heart rate candidates in each PPG spectrum to the previous heart rate candidates and resetting the heart rate value accordingly. Additionally or alternatively, the PPG spectrum may be monitored by determining when only a single heart rate candidate is present in consecutive PPG spectra and resetting the heart rate value accordingly.

  • Patent number: 9432882
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for evaluating the suitability of AP signaling for RTT-based location calculation. Various evaluation methods are disclosed to enable the signaling to be tested for consistency and reliability. An AP may be analyzed by a mobile device or other communications mechanism to determine whether the AP is suitable for RTT-based location signaling. A mobile device receives multiple signals from an evaluated AP at various locations in the indoor area, and derives RTT data from the signals. The RTT data is analyzed to determine whether RTT data from the AP should be used by mobile devices in the process of calculating their location.

  • Publication number: 20150172865
    Abstract: Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for obtaining a location fix for a mobile device are presented. In some embodiments, a method includes identifying a region in which the mobile device is located. The method further includes receiving assistance data pertaining to one or more access points within the region, wherein the assistance data is indicative of signal information pertaining to the one or more access points at multiple locations within the region. The method also includes generating, at the mobile device, a heatmap representative of multiple locations within the region as compared against the signal information pertaining to the one or more access points that are in communication range. The method additionally includes determining the location fix based at least in part on the generated heatmap.

  • Publication number: 20150045054
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for determining the floors on which APs are located for WiFi-based indoor positioning systems. A data collection phase is followed by a data analysis phase. During data collection, measurement data to observed APs may be collected from various locations on different floors. The measurements data may include received signal strength indication (RSSI), optional round-trip-time (RTT) data to the APs, and floor information of the measurement locations. Measurement data may also be collected from crowd sourced data without floor information of the measurement locations. In data analysis, the collected measurement data are analyzed using various algorithms to determine if APs belong to the same floor and to assign APs on the same floor to the same cluster. APs on different floors may thus be assigned to different clusters. If the floor information of the measurement locations is known, each cluster may be assigned a floor number.
