Abstract

Techniques are provided which may be implemented using various methods, apparatuses and/or articles of manufacture to provide or otherwise support mobile device positioning. The mobile device positioning may be based, at least in part, on one or more perceived routability constraints that may or may not affect actual movement of a mobile device within an indoor environment.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for supporting mobile device positioning on a computing device external to said mobile device, the method comprising:
receiving an electronic map for an indoor environment, wherein at least a portion of said electronic map comprises displayable image data;
selecting at least one perceived routability constraint based, at least in part, on said displayable image data;
setting a measure of confidence for said at least one perceived routability con…
