PRIORITIZING MULTIPLE LOCALIZATION TECHNOLOGIES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240284144 titled 'PRIORITIZING MULTIPLE LOCALIZATION TECHNOLOGIES

The abstract describes a patent application where a mobile device receives priority lists for localization methods based on different contexts during a journey.

The mobile device determines the applicable context based on its location along the journey.
It then uses the prioritized list of localization methods corresponding to the applicable context.
This system helps the mobile device efficiently localize itself during different contexts of a journey.

Potential Applications: - Navigation systems for vehicles - Location-based services for mobile applications - Emergency services for accurate location tracking

Problems Solved: - Efficient localization during different contexts of a journey - Improved accuracy in determining the mobile device's location

Benefits: - Enhanced user experience during navigation - Increased safety in emergency situations - Optimized use of localization methods based on context

Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Localization System for Mobile Devices" This technology can be used in GPS navigation systems, location-based advertising, and emergency response services, enhancing their accuracy and efficiency.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does this system improve localization accuracy compared to traditional methods? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this technology on a large scale?

Original Abstract Submitted

in some implementations, a mobile device may receive, from a server, a set of priority lists for localization of the mobile device, where the set of priority lists comprises, for each context of a plurality of contexts, a corresponding prioritized list of localization methods for the mobile device to use, during a journey, for a respective context. the mobile device may determine an applicable context from the plurality of contexts based on a course location of the mobile device along the journey. the mobile device may perform localization method in accordance with a priority list, from the set of priority lists, corresponding to the applicable context.
