Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A mobile computing device can be used to locate a vehicle parking location in weak location signal scenarios (e.g., weak, unreliable, or unavailable GPS or other location technology). In particular, the mobile device can determine when a vehicle in which the mobile device is located has entered into a parked state. GPS or other primary location technology may be unavailable at the time the mobile device entered into a parked state (e.g., inside a parking structure). The location of the mobile device at a time corresponding to when the vehicle is identified as being parked can be determined using the first location technology as supplemented with sensor data of the mobile device. After the location of the mobile device at a time corresponding to when the vehicle is identified as being parked is determined, the determined location can be associated with an identifier for the current parking location.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of identifying a location of a vehicle, the method comprising: detecting, with a mobile device in the vehicle while the vehicle is moving, an unavailability of a first location technology; subsequent to detecting the unavailability of the first location technology, measuring sensor data from one or more sensors of the mobile device; determining, based at least in part on the sensor data and while the first location technology is unavailable, tha…
