Abstract
A processor obtains an audio sample captured by an audio sensor associated with a device and/or image data captured by an image sensor associated with the device. The image data comprises a representation of one or more elevator buttons. The processor analyzes the audio sample to identify a floor name indicator in the audio sample and/or the image data to identify an activated elevator button from among the one or more elevator buttons represented by the image data; and determines a floor name based on the floor name indicator identified in the analyzed audio sample and/or a floor name indicator associated with the identified activated elevator button in accordance with the analyzed image data. The processor causes the determined floor name to be stored and/or provided for positioning purposes.
