Method And System For Building A Location Beacon Database

US Patent:
7403762, Jul 22, 2008
Filed:
Oct 28, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/261987
Inventors:
Edward James Morgan - Needham MA, US
Farshid Alizadeh-Shabdiz - Wayland MA, US
Russel Kipp Jones - Roswell GA, US
Michael George Shean - Boston MA, US
Assignee:
Skyhook Wireless, Inc. - Boston MA
International Classification:
H04M 11/04
US Classification:
4554042, 4554561, 708160, 711165, 370315, 3405724
Abstract:
A location beacon database and server, method of building location beacon database, and location based service using same. Wi-Fi access points are located in a target geographical area to build a reference database of locations of Wi-Fi access points. At least one vehicle is deployed including at least one scanning device having a GPS device and a Wi-Fi radio device and including a Wi-Fi antenna system. The target area is traversed in a programmatic route to avoid arterial bias. The programmatic route includes substantially all drivable streets in the target geographical area and solves an Eulerian cycle problem of a graph represented by said drivable streets. While traversing the target area, periodically receive the GPS coordinates of the GPS device. While traversing the target area, detecting Wi-Fi signals from Wi-Fi access points in range of the Wi-Fi device and recording identity information of the detected Wi-Fi access point in conjunction with GPS location information of the vehicle when the detection of the Wi-Fi access point was made. The location information is used to reverse triangulate the position of the detected Wi-Fi access point; and the position of the detected access point is recorded in a reference database.

Continuous Data Optimization By Filtering And Positioning Systems

US Patent:
7474897, Jan 6, 2009
Filed:
Feb 22, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/359271
Inventors:
Edward J. Morgan - Needham MA, US
Michael G. Shean - Boston MA, US
Farshid Alizadeh-Shabdiz - Wayland MA, US
Russel K. Jones - Roswell GA, US
Assignee:
Skyhook Wireless, Inc. - Boston MA
International Classification:
H04Q 7/20
US Classification:
4554565, 4554566, 4554561, 34053913, 701209
Abstract:
Methods and systems of continuously optimizing data in WiFi positioning systems. A location-based services system for WiFi-enabled devices calculates the position of WiFi-enabled devices. A WiFi-enabled device communicates with WiFi access points within range of the WiFi-enabled device so that observed WiFi access points identify themselves. A reference database is accessed to obtain information specifying a recorded location for each observed WiFi access point. The recorded location information for each of the observed WiFi access points is used in conjunction with predefined rules to determine whether an observed WiFi access point should be included or excluded from a set of WiFi access points. The recorded location information of only the WiFi access points included in the set are used and the recorded location information of the excluded WiFi access points are excluded when calculating the geographical position of the WiFi-enabled device.

Continuous Data Optimization Of New Access Points In Positioning Systems

US Patent:
7493127, Feb 17, 2009
Filed:
Feb 22, 2006

11/359144
Inventors:
Edward James Morgan - Needham MA, US

Russel K. Jones - Roswell GA, US
Assignee:

International Classification:
H04Q 7/20
US Classification:
4554565, 4554566, 4554561, 701201, 701214
Abstract:
Methods and systems of continuously optimizing data in WiFi positioning systems. A location-based services system uses WiFi-enabled devices to monitor WiFi access points in a target area to indicate whether a WiFi access point is newly-observed. A WiFi-enabled device communicates with WiFi access points within range of the WiFi-enabled device so that observed WiFi access points identify themselves. A reference database is accessed to obtain information specifying a recorded location for each observed WiFi access point in the target area. Observed WiFi access points for which the reference database has no information specifying a corresponding recorded location are identified. The recorded location information for each of the observed WiFi access points is used to calculate the position of the WiFi-enabled device. The reference database is informed of the WiFi access points (for which there was no information in the database) and is provided the calculated position in conjunction therewith.
