  • Systems and methods for indoor location services
    Patent number: 9462568
    Abstract: Many indoor location services do not require precise knowledge of the position of a mobile device, but simply whether a mobile device is within a particular zone of an indoor area. Existing signals in an indoor space may provide enough information to distinguish between different zones of an indoor area, allowing a server to provide indoor location services without requiring the installation of new signal sources in the indoor area.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 13, 2014
    Date of Patent: October 4, 2016
    Assignee: Retail Optimization International, Inc.
