  • Patent number: 10240932
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate generally to localizing mobile devices. In one example, a first location method associated with a first accuracy value may be used to estimate a location of the mobile device. A confidence circle indicative of a level of confidence in the estimation of the location is calculated. The confidence circle may be displayed on a mobile device. When other location methods become available, the size of the displayed confidence circle may be expanded based on information from an accelerometer of the client device or the accuracy of the other available location methods. This may be especially useful when the mobile device is transitioning between areas which are associated with different location methods that may be more or less accurate.

  • Publication number: 20130244684
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to using position information to grant access. More specifically, wireless network access point data may be used to identify the location of a mobile device in an indoor space. If the identified location is associated with permission information, this information may be used by a permission device to grant or deny the user of the client device some right. For example, the permission information may be used to unlock a door, lock or unlock a feature on the mobile device, delay some action, etc.
