Abstract: In aspects of location correlation in a region based on signal strength indications, a mobile device implements a location module that determines a current location of the mobile device in a region within communication range of a first radio system based on location data received in radio signals from the first radio system. The location module determines received signal strength indication (RSSI) values from signals received from a second radio system at the current location of the mobile device. The location module can then associate the current location of the mobile device in the region with the RSSI values, and generate a location mapping of the region based on the current location and subsequent locations of the mobile device in the region. The location mapping correlates the locations of the mobile device in the region with the determined RSSI values at the respective locations.

Abstract: A method and data processing device for receiving at least one response signal corresponding to a respective tag. The method includes, identifying a directional location of the respective tag relative to the user device. The method includes activating a camera device to focus on one or more focal points in an area in the directional location of the respective tag. The method includes estimating a distance of the respective tag relative to the user device. The method includes capturing an image of an object located within the area in the directional location of the respective tag. The method includes correlating the directional location, distance of the respective tag, and image of the object to generate corresponding position information. The position information provides more precise point location of the object. The method includes outputting the corresponding position information to an electronic display.

Abstract: In aspects of location correlation in a region, a mobile device implements a location module that determines a current location of the mobile device in a region within communication range of a radio system based on location data received in radio signals from the radio system. The location module determines region coordinates at the current location of the mobile device in the region. The location module can then associate the region coordinates at the current location of the mobile device in the region with pixel grid coordinates determined from a digital image view as captured by a camera system in the region, and generate a location mapping of the region based on the current location and subsequent locations of the mobile device in the region. The location mapping correlates the locations of the mobile device in the region based on the pixel grid coordinates at the respective locations.

Abstract: In aspects of navigation tracking in an always aware location environment with mobile localization nodes, a positioning system includes a server computing device that can locate wireless communication devices in an always aware location (AAL) environment. A mobile localization node located within the AAL environment implements a positioning module to receive, from the server computing device, one or two initial coordinates of the mobile localization node at a current location in the AAL environment. The positioning module can determine one or more additional coordinates of the mobile localization node at the current location in the AAL environment, and designate the current location as an origin of the mobile localization node based on a combination of the initial and additional coordinates. The positioning module can then self-track navigation of the mobile localization node within the AAL environment as the mobile localization node moves from the origin to subsequent locations.
