  • Rule based completion of maps with partial data
    Patent number: 10185788
    Abstract: A rule set is used to generate an indoor map of a building from partial map data. In one embodiment, the partial map data is based at least in part on crowd sourced trajectory data. In one embodiment, a probabilistic rule set describes relationships in space usage of the indoor building. Hypothesis testing is performed. A most likely complete layout is determined, based on the partial coverage data and the rule set, which preserves the partial map data.
    Type: Grant

  • Maintaining point of interest data using wireless access points
    Patent number: 10028245
    Abstract: Maintaining point of interest (POI) data using wireless access points (WAPs) includes correlating, using a processor, a WAP with a POI from a POI data store according to a network name and a location of the WAP and a name and a location of the POI. The POI data is updated according to the correlating.
