Abstract:
A device implementing a system for estimating device location includes at least one processor configured to receive a first and second set of signals at a sampling interval, each set corresponding to location data. For each sampling period defined by the sampling interval, the at least one processor is configured to obtain first sensor data corresponding to device motion during the sampling period, obtain second sensor data corresponding to atmospheric pressure sampled at a beginning and end of the sampling period, calculate a change in altitude based on a difference in the atmospheric pressure at the beginning and end of the sampling period, and estimate a device state based on the first sensor data and change in altitude.

Systems, methods, devices and computer-readable storage mediums are disclosed for assisted GNSS velocity estimation. In an implementation, a method comprises: obtaining, by a mobile device, a step-based speed measurement based on sensor data; obtaining, by the mobile device, a step-based speed uncertainty associated with the step-based speed measurement; determining, by the mobile device, that one or more assistance conditions are met; responsive to the determining, assisting a state estimator using the step-based speed measurement and the associated step-based speed uncertainty; and estimating at least one of the position, velocity or speed of the mobile device using the assisted state estimator.

A device implementing a system for estimating device location includes at least one processor configured to estimate a first position of a device based on a first set of parameters, the first set of parameters derived from first sensor data obtained on the device, the first set of parameters corresponding to device motion. The at least one processor is configured to estimate a second position of a user of the device based on a second set of parameters, the second set of parameters derived from second sensor data obtained on the device, the second set of parameters corresponding to user motion. Estimating the first and second positions is constrained by a predefined relationship between the device motion and the user motion. The at least one processor is configured to provide at least one of the first position of the device or the second position of the user.

Abstract:
Techniques are described for improving driver efficiency. An example method can include a device accessing sparse location data indicative of one or more geographic locations along a route of the user device during a first time period. The route includes a starting location data point and an ending location data point. The device can access motion data collected by the sensors of the user device. The motion data can be collected by the sensors during the first time period. After a conclusion of the first time period, the device can generate, using the sparse location data and the motion data, a dense data set to reconstruct a route that includes the starting location data point and the ending location data point. The reconstructed route can include second dense location data and velocity data. The device can store the reconstructed route in a local memory of the user device.

Abstract:
An electronic device may include a pressure sensor for measuring barometric pressure. Pressure measurements may be calibrated using crowd-sourced pressure data to remove any weather bias or sensor bias associated with the pressure measurements. Altitude of the electronic device may be determined using the calibrated pressure measurement. When it is desired to estimate altitude, the electronic device may transmit a query to a server, which returns a local reference pressure value for the electronic device based on crowd-sourced pressure data from electronic devices in the vicinity of the electronic device making the query. To determine the local reference pressure value, the server may correlate the crowd-sourced pressure data with space, taking into account variations in terrain using digital elevation models to determine location-specific reference pressures. The local reference pressure value for a given electronic device is then determined using crowd-sourced reference pressures at nearby locations.
