Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Techniques and mechanisms for providing information to represent a course traversed by a mobile device. In an embodiment, navigation logic of the mobile device determines context data other than any geodetic data that specifies a position of the mobile device. With such context data, the navigation logic determines a sequence of estimates each for a respective position of the device on a course traversed by the mobile device. In another embodiment, determining the sequence of estimates includes determining a first estimate of a first position of the mobile device independent of any geodetic data that specifies the first position. Course information representing such a determined sequence includes timestamp information for the first estimate.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus comprising: context processor logic comprising circuitry configured to determine context data indicating a traversal of a course by a mobile device, the context data other than any data that specifies a position in a geodetic coordinate system, wherein the context data includes: reference context data provided to the apparatus via a collaborative network, wherein the reference context data describes a characteristic of an environment distinct f…
