A technique to automatically determine a shape of a path based on crowdsourced trajectory data is disclosed. Trajectory data is collected for a plurality of crowdsourced paths. The trajectory data for each of the plurality of crowdsourced paths is associated with at least one uniquely identifiable ambient signal. Anchor points may be identified corresponding to a transition in a characteristic of trajectory data of an individual crowdsourced path. Matching may be performed based on analyzing matching patterns of anchor points and evaluating the matches. Various embodiments involve using a linked node structure to represent one or more traces and/or indicate routes in a particular geographical area.

Trajectory matching using ambient signals

A method comprising receiving different types of crowd-sourced information, the different types of crowd-sourced information relating to a physical store that a plurality of electronic devices have visited. The method further comprises determining a plurality of products available in the physical store based on the different types of crowd-sourced information, and correlating the different types of crowd-sourced information to determine at least one product location of at least one product of the plurality of products available. Each product location of each product identifies a location of the product within the physical store.

Automatic product mapping

Mapping through crowdsourcing includes determining, using a processor, segments for a plurality of trajectories, wherein each trajectory includes radio frequency (RF) data from a communication device, determining, using the processor, RF features for the segments, and forming, using the processor, clusters of the segments according to the RF features. One or more routes of a map are generated from the clusters using the processor.

Location determination, mapping, and data management through crowdsourcing

Providing sequential behavior-based content may include detecting, using a processor, an event sequence involving at least one device of a user, wherein the event sequence includes a current event and a prior event, correlating, using the processor, the event sequence with a frequent sequential pattern selected from a plurality of frequent sequential patterns associated with the user, and predicting, using the processor, a next event for the user according to a plurality of ordered events specified by the selected frequent sequential pattern. Responsive to predicting the next event, content relating to the next event may be provided to the device using the processor.

Sequential behavior-based content delivery

In one aspect, information of multiple anchor points is received and stored. The information of each anchor point includes Global Positioning System (GPS) data of a particular location and radio frequency (RF) data that was obtained at a device at the particular location. A geo coordinate is determined for an indoor location based on the RF data obtained at the indoor location and the information of the anchor points. Various embodiments pertain to software, systems, devices and methods relating to anchor points and/or the obtaining of a geo coordinate for a location.

Indoor global positioning system

In one aspect, GPS data, ambient signal data, radio frequency data and/or other types of data are used to determine the location of an entrance to an area or a building. In another aspect, sequential trajectory data is collected and the data is analyzed and/or processed to determine the location of an area of interest.
