Abstract: Systems, apparatus and methods to perform hypothesis localization are presented. An access point (AP) is associated with one specific area, such as an LCI (location context identifier). Each specific area defines area information comprising an identifier, a list of APs, and a map of the specific area. Each specific area, and associated APs from the list of APs, is hypothesized as the specific area containing a mobile device. For each hypothesized area, a mobile device trajectory is formed using just listed APs from that area, to form a plurality of mobile device trajectories. After evaluating the resulting plurality of mobile device trajectories, a selection is made of the best fitting mobile device trajectory.

Abstract: An estimated position of a pedestrian is obtained by detecting, by a movement sensor on the pedestrian, whether the pedestrian is moving, propagating particles based on a predictive pedestrian movement model upon detecting that the pedestrian is moving, and updating, by a wireless network, the position of the pedestrian upon failure by the movement sensor to detect that the pedestrian is moving. The movement sensor may be a pedometer. The wireless network may be a local wireless network such as a Wi-Fi network.

Abstract: Techniques for providing a user with an augmented virtuality (AV) experience are described herein. An example of a method of providing an AV experience includes determining a location of a mobile device, determining a context based on the location, obtaining AV object information, displaying the AV object information in relation to the context, detecting an interaction with the context, modifying the AV object information based on the interaction, and displaying the modified AV object information. The context may include weighting information. The weighting information may be based on Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) or Round-Trip Time (RTT) data. The weighting information may be associated with a composition of a physical object in the context. A user gesture may be received, and the AV object information may be modified based on the received gesture information.

Abstract: Step detection accuracy in mobile devices is increased by determining whether swinging is taking place. According to the invention, swinging can be detected using threshold detection, Eigen analysis, hybrid frequency analysis, and/or gyroscope-based analysis, for example. The determination that swinging is (or may be) occurring can impact how the mobile device reports detected steps for step detection. A count of missteps and/or a level of certainty, based on swing detection, can be provided with a step count.
