Embodiment Construction

[0026] We initially point out that descriptions of procedures, components, devices, and other details known in the art may be merely summarized or omitted so as not to unnecessarily obscure the details of the disclosure. Thus, where details are otherwise well known, we leave it to the application of the present disclosure to suggest or determine choices regarding those details.

[0027] refer to figure 1 , illustrating an exemplary environment in which the teachings of the present disclosure may be applied. Typically, its teachings are applied in the context of an application running on a mobile device 10 such as a computing-enabled mobile phone (smartphone), tablet computer, or the like. The mobile device 10 is configured to utilize global positioning (GPS) data from a GPS data source 12 .

[0028] The mobile device 10 is further configured to communicate wirelessly with one or more wireless access points 14 via one or more wireless protocols, such as WiFi, Bluetooth, or th...

Abstract

Aspects of the disclosure relate generally to localizing mobile devices. In one example, a first location method associated with a first accuracy value may be used to estimate a location 62, 70, 70a, 90 of the mobile device 10. A confidence circle indicative 64 of a level of confidence in the estimation of the location 62, 70, 70a, 90 is calculated. The confidence circle 64, 72, 72a, 82, 92 may be displayed on a mobile device 10. When other location methods become available, the size of the displayed confidence circle 72a may be expanded based on information from an accelerometer of the client device 10 or the accuracy of the other available location methods. This may be especially useful when the mobile device 10is transitioning between areas which are associated with different location methods that may be more or less accurate.
