Patent

CA 2710842

A method of providing a relevant subset of information to a client device is based in part on scanning for Wi-Fi access points within range of the client device, using a Wi-Fi database that covers a large target region to retrieve information about these access points, using this information to estimate the position of the mobile client device, selecting a limited region in the vicinity of the estimated location of the client device, and providing information about Wi-Fi access points within this limited region to the client. For efficient transfer and maintenance of data, the target region may be divided into a hierarchy of fixed geographical tiles.

L'invention concerne un procédé de fourniture d'un sous-ensemble pertinent d'informations à un dispositif client basé en partie sur le balayage de points d'accès Wi-Fi dans la portée du dispositif client, utilisant une base de données Wi-Fi qui couvre une grande région cible pour récupérer des informations sur ces points d'accès, l'utilisation de ces informations pour estimer la position du dispositif client mobile, la sélection d'une région limitée au voisinage de l'emplacement estimé du dispositif client, et la fourniture d'informations sur les points d'accès Wi-Fi dans cette région limitée au client. Pour un transfert et une maintenance efficaces de données, la région cible peut être divisée en une hiérarchie de tuiles géographiques fixes.
