Abstract: Techniques for storing information representing a venue are described. A venue data provider may upload venue data to a venue data service. The venue data can include locations, geometries, and business categories of the buildings and floors. The venue data service can validate the venue data, and request a survey service to survey the venue using the validated venue data. A survey can include recording measurements of an environment variable at various locations of the venue. The location service can generate location fingerprint data from the survey. The location fingerprint data can include expected measurements of the environment variable at various locations of the building. The venue data service can provide the location fingerprint data to a mobile device such that the mobile device can determine a location of the mobile device in the venue using sensor readings of the environment variable.

Abstract: Techniques for enriching venue data are described. The venue data can include records describing physical features of a venue and records describing conceptual features of the venue. A data enrichment engine can enrich the venue data using probe data by automatically correcting inconsistencies in the venue data or adding additional information to the venue data. The probe data can include crowd-sourced data from multiple mobile devices. The probe data can include motion sensor data, application launch data, and site survey data.

Abstract: Techniques for validating venue data are described. The venue data can include records describing physical features of a venue and records describing conceptual features of the venue. A validation engine can detect conflicts between records in the venue data or conflicts between records in the venue data and external data. The conflict can include a physical conflict between two physical features, e.g., when a floor of a building is larger than a footprint of the building, a conceptual conflict between two occupants of a venue, e.g., when an airport baggage claim area is located next to a high school, or a relationship conflict between an occupant and a venue in which the occupant is allegedly located, e.g., ski resort located in an office building. The conflict can be defined in conflict rules. The validation engine can learn the conflict rules from historical venue data and truth references.

Abstract translation: 描述验证场地数据的技术。 场地数据可以包括描述场地的身体特征的记录和描述场地的概念特征的记录。 验证引擎可以检测场地数据中的记录之间的冲突或场地数据中的记录与外部数据之间的冲突。 冲突可以包括两个物理特征之间的物理冲突，例如，当建筑物的楼层大于建筑物的占地面积时，场地的两个乘客之间的概念冲突，例如机场行李领域位于下一个 高中，或乘客与据称所在的场所（例如位于办公楼的滑雪胜地）之间的关系冲突。 可以在冲突规则中定义冲突。 验证引擎可以从历史场地数据和真实参考中了解冲突规则。

Abstract: Techniques for storing information representing a venue are described. A venue data provider may upload venue data to a venue data service. The venue data can include locations, geometries, and business categories of the buildings and floors. The venue data service can validate the venue data, and request a survey service to survey the venue using the validated venue data. A survey can include recording measurements of an environment variable at various locations of the venue. The location service can generate location fingerprint data from the survey. The location fingerprint data can include expected measurements of the environment variable at various locations of the building. The venue data service can provide the location fingerprint data to a mobile device such that the mobile device can determine a location of the mobile device in the venue using sensor readings of the environment variable.
