Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented method for determining navigation/positional data, implemented in a computing system programmed to perform the method comprising: receiving in the computer system, a plurality of signal strength measurements and user ID data from a hand-held user device, each of the plurality of signal strength measurements being associated with one of a plurality of access points; determining in the computer system, user navigation/position data using the plurality of signal strength measurements from the hand-held user device, the user navigation/position data being associated with the user ID data from the hand-held user device; and transferring by the computing system, the user navigation/position data to the hand-held user device in response to the hand-held user device sending a request signal associated with the user ID data; and determining by the computing system, user metrics data associated with the plurality of signal strength measurements; and storing by the computing system, the user metrics data in a user metric database for applications selected from a group consisting of: marketing analysis, memory management, and targeted advertisement.
