  • Patent number: 10641610
    Abstract: A method and system of instantiating a lightweight re-calibration of a received signal strength (RSS) fingerprint dataset for mobile device indoor navigation. The method comprises, based on RSS parameters acquired from a plurality of mobile devices acquired at a set of positions within an indoor area, accumulating the RSS parameters in accordance with a trained neural network-based RSS fingerprint dataset in a fingerprint database of the indoor area; identifying respective positions of a subset of the set of positions having a variance that exceeds a threshold variance between observed RSS parameters and RSS parameters determined in accordance the trained neural network; and when contiguous positions of the subset are encompassed by a boundary representing a portion of the indoor area, instantiating a re-calibration of the RSS fingerprint dataset for mobile device navigation within the portion of the indoor area.

  • Patent number: 10634816
    Abstract: A method and system of displaying an operational status of a set of mobile devices deployed on multiple floors of an indoor facility in extreme ambient conditions. The method, executed in a processor of a server computing device, comprises localizing a first mobile device and at least a second mobile device to a location on a first of the multiple floors and a second of the multiple floors respectively, based at least partly on respective filtered sets of barometric ambient pressure measurements obtained at the first and at least a second mobile devices, and displaying, based on the localizing, a layout map of the multi-floor building that includes the first mobile device and the second mobile device positioned within the first and the second of the multiple floors respectively.

  • Publication number: 20200053688
    Abstract: A method and system for localizing a mobile device in extreme ambient conditions. The method, executed in a processor of the mobile device, comprises detecting, using a temperature sensor of the mobile device at a first sampling rate, an ambient temperature anomaly along an indoor route being traversed, determining, based on switching to a second sampling rate, that the ambient temperature anomaly persists over a sequence of positions along the indoor route, filtering a set of barometric ambient pressure measurements contemporaneously associated with the sequence of positions, the set obtained using a barometric pressure sensor of the mobile device, and localizing the mobile device based at least partly on the filtered set of barometric ambient pressure measurements.
