Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for deterministically estimating whether the location of a computing device that is fixed or mobile is inside a building or not using location data. Particularly, the system may compare 3D geoposition uncertainty region of a location to a 3D volumetric structure shape of the location, and determining a confidence value based on the comparison associated with a likelihood that the location associated with the computing device is indoors or outdoors. Various states of the computing device are supported by the substance of the disclosure, including indoor and outdoor states.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for deterministically estimating whether the location of a computing device that is fixed or mobile is inside a fully enclosed building or not (e.g., fully or partially indoors/outdoors). Various environments are supported by the substance of the disclosure, including fully or partially indoor and outdoor environments.

Abstract: Examples described herein provide automatic location of access points by a computing device. Examples may include receiving, by the computing device from each AP in a subset of a plurality of APs, a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signal measurement, and based on each received GNSS signal measurement, constraining, by the computing device, the map of relative AP locations by at least one translational degree of freedom or one rotational degree of freedom. Examples may include resolving, by the computing device, locations of the plurality of APs in the map of relative AP locations.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention involve providing assistance data to a global position and navigation receiver, for example topographical data, such that the receiver can decide on a specific action depending on that data. The topographical data may include one or both of geographical data and architectural data. Geographical data may include information about natural formations, such as hills, valleys, forests, etc. Architectural data may include manmade formations, such as streets, buildings, bridges, etc. The receiver may then interpret and decide on a course of action for controlling the receiver base on the assistance data.
