Abstract: A computing system includes a datastore, a network interface, and a query module. The datastore stores a plurality of localization area description files. The network interface is to receive a request for a localization area description file from a mobile device, the request comprising a set of spatial features and at least one non-image location indicator. The query module includes a query interface to identify one or more candidate localization area description files based on one of the set of spatial features of the request and the at least one location indicator of the request, and includes a selection module to select a localization area description file from the candidate localization area description files based on the other of the set of spatial features of the request and the at least one location indicator. The query module is to provide the selected localization area description file to the mobile device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for calibrating a navigation heading are provided. A client device may display navigation information to a user. The client device may display a floor plan of a building with a navigation route superimposed on the floor plan. The client device may also display a video as received from a camera with the navigation route superimposed on the video. By displaying the route on the captured imagery, the client device may direct the user along the route without the user having knowledge of the direction in which they are facing when beginning the route. As the user travels along the route, the heading by which the client device directs the user may grow increasingly inaccurate. Therefore, the client device may include an interface to allow the user to recalibrate the heading (e.g., by straightening a displayed path) to ensure that an accurate navigation path is displayed.

Abstract: A computing system includes a network interface, a first datastore, a second datastore, and a merge module. The merge module is to receive a set of one or more area description files from a set of one or more first mobile devices. Each area description file represents a point cloud of spatial features detected by a corresponding first mobile device at an area. The computing system further includes a localization module and a query module. The localization generation module is to generate a localization area description file for the area from the set of one or more area description files and to store the localization area description file in the second datastore. The localization area description file represents a point cloud of spatial features for the area. The query module is to provide the localization area description file to a second mobile device via the network interface.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are directed to geofencing-related heuristics for computing devices. A computing device with a plurality of sensors can receive a plurality of heuristics. Each heuristic can be configured to generate command(s) for the sensors based on one or more heuristic inputs. The heuristic input(s) can include an input related to a geofence. The computing device can receive a plurality of signals from the sensors. The computing device can determine, based on the plurality of signals, an activity class for the computing device. The activity class can specify an activity associated with the computing device. The computing device can select a heuristic from the plurality of heuristics at least based on the activity class. The computing device can execute the selected heuristic to generate the command(s) for the sensors.
