Abstract: A system and method for mapping an indoor environment. A client device may receive an indication of a starting point on a floor plan. The client device may prompt the user to travel in a particular direction and indicate when the user can no longer travel in that direction. As the user travels from the starting point in the designated direction, the client device may gather information about the indoor environment. For example, the client device may gather wireless signal strength data, cellular tower strength data, or video image data while the user travels in the designated direction. The client device may associate the gathered information with the path the user traveled from the starting point to the ending point. The client device may indicate the area for which valid location information is available based on the path the user traveled and the information the user collected.

Abstract translation: 一种用于映射室内环境的系统和方法。 客户端设备可以在平面图上接收起始点的指示。 客户端设备可以提示用户在特定方向上行进，并且指示用户何时不能在该方向上行进。 当用户从指定方向的起点行进时，客户端设备可以收集关于室内环境的信息。 例如，客户端设备可以在用户沿指定方向行进时收集无线信号强度数据，蜂窝塔强度数据或视频图像数据。 客户端设备可以将所收集的信息与用户从起始点到终点的行进路径相关联。 客户端设备可以基于用户行进的路径和用户收集的信息来指示可用的有效位置信息的区域。

Abstract: Feedback corresponding to a plurality of portions of an electronic book is collected. The feedback is analyzed to determine rating information corresponding to the plurality of portions. The rating information and a current reading position associated with a client device are used to determine information to be presented at the client device. In some instances, the feedback includes one or more implicit indicators.

Abstract translation: 收集对应于电子书的多个部分的反馈。 分析反馈以确定与多个部分对应的评级信息。 使用与客户端设备相关联的评级信息和当前读取位置来确定要在客户端设备处呈现的信息。 在某些情况下，反馈包括一个或多个隐含指示符。
