Abstract:
In one embodiment, a technique is provided for wireless position determination wherein locations of Wi-Fi access points included in a collaborative database are both consumed to estimate the position of a wireless computing device and updated based on the position of the wireless computing device. Using the collaborative database, a geographic location of each one or more first Wi-Fi access points in signal reception range of the wireless computing device is determined based on a unique or semi-unique identification of each first Wi-Fi access point. A wireless positioning system estimates a position of the wireless computing device based on the geographic location of each of the one or more first Wi-Fi access points. It may be determined that a Wi-Fi access point of one or more second Wi-Fi access points in signal reception range of the wireless computing device is a new Wi-Fi access point whose geographic location is not contained in the collaborative database. The collaborative database is updated to include the geographic location of the new Wi-Fi access point based, at least in part, on the position of the wireless computing device.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of wireless position determination utilizing a collaborative database comprising:\n determining a geographic location of each one or more first Wi-Fi access points in signal reception range of a wireless computing device, based on a unique or semi-unique identification of each first Wi-Fi access point and a collaborative database that includes geographic locations of Wi-Fi access points; estimating, by a wireless positioning system, a position of the wireless computing device based on the geographic location of each of the one or more first Wi-Fi access points; determining that a Wi-Fi access point of one or more second Wi-Fi access points in signal reception range of the wireless computing device is a new Wi-Fi access point whose geographic location is not contained in the collaborative database, based on a unique or semi-unique identification of each second Wi-Fi access point; and updating the collaborative database to include the geographic location of the new Wi-Fi access point based, at least in part, on the position of the wireless computing device, such that geographic locations of Wi-Fi access points included in the collaborative database are both consumed to estimate the position of the wireless computing device and updated based on the position of the wireless computing device.
