  • Patent number: 9749788
    Abstract: Example positioning techniques include: generating an initial particle set, randomly allocating different moving step lengths for each particle in the initial particle set, updating position information of each particle at a previous moment to obtain a current particle set, rating usability of each particle according to position information of each particle in the current particle set and a signal fingerprint received at a current moment, acquiring a moving step length of each particle having a rating higher than a first predetermined threshold in the current particle set, and updating a moving step length of each particle having a rating lower than the first predetermined threshold according to the acquired moving step length. The techniques of the present disclosure obtain a moving step length closest to the actual step length of a person, and update the moving step length in time with the change of the step length of the person.

  • Publication number: 20130254014
    Abstract: The present disclosure introduces a method and an apparatus of automatic information placement. A server receives display location publishing information and determines a value index of a corresponding display location according to the received display location publishing information. When the server receives an information placement request, the server determines an investment index of corresponding placement information according to the received information placement request. The server compares one or more value indexes of display locations with one or more investment indexes of one or more placement information, and places respective placement information at a corresponding display location according to a comparison result. The present techniques improve the efficiency of placing information and optimizing resource deployment.
