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 positioning mobile devices. In one example, the location of the mobile device 10 can be estimated (62, 70, 70a, 90) using a first positioning method associated with the first accuracy value. Confidence circles ( 64 ) indicating confidence levels for the estimates of the locations ( 62 , 70 , 70 a , 90 ) are calculated. Confidence circles (64, 72, 72a, 82, 92) may be displayed on the mobile device (10). As other positioning methods become available, the size of the displayed confidence circle (72a) may be expanded based on information from the client device's (10) accelerometer or the accuracy of other available positioning methods. This may be particularly useful when the mobile device (10) is transitioning between areas associated with different positioning methods that may be more or less accurate.
