Abstract:
An apparatus assigns to a plurality of grid areas of a grid, the grid defined to virtually cover a positioning site, a probability that an object is located in the respective grid area. The probabilities are based at least on characteristics of wireless signals propagating in at least one direction between the object and devices distributed at the positioning site. The apparatus selects grid areas such that the total probability assigned to the selected grid areas at least reaches a predetermined probability. The apparatus determines a set of at least one virtual room, with the set containing selected grid areas, and provides an indication of the set of at least one virtual room as an estimated location of the object.

Claim (Index 34):
The method according to  claim 30 , wherein the determined set of at least one virtual room comprises at least one virtual room of the following set of virtual rooms:\n at least one predetermined virtual room; at least one dynamically determined virtual room; at least one virtual room predetermined manually by a user to correspond to an area of the positioning site comprising a distinctive characteristic; at least one predetermined interleaving virtual room associated with a set of at least two primary virtual rooms, the at least two primary virtual rooms corresponding to a respective area of the positioning site comprising a distinctive characteristic; at least one interleaving virtual room predetermined manually by a user, the at least one interleaving virtual room covering at least a part of each of at least two adjacent primary virtual rooms, the at least two adjacent primary virtual rooms corresponding to a respective area of the positioning site comprising a distinctive characteristic; at least one virtual room dynamically determined as a combination of all selected grid areas; and the virtual room dynamically determined as an area of predetermined shape comprising all selected grid areas; wherein the interleaving virtual room is an overlapping area of at least two adjacent primary virtual rooms.
