## Abstract

A micro point address is detected in response to an audio trigger. Audio data is detected at a mobile device and compared to at least one predetermined audio sample. In response to the comparison, location data is collected or a location stamp including the location data is made. A grid location identifier is stored in association with the location data in response to the comparison.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method for micro point address detection in response to an audio trigger, the method further comprising:
receiving audio data at a mobile device;
receiving location data for the mobile device;
performing, using a processor, a comparison of the audio data to at least one predetermined audio sample;
identifying a doorbell in response to the comparison; and
storing a micro point address with the location data.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the micro point address includes a unit indicator, a suite indicator, a room indicator, or a floor indicator.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the location data for the mobile device is determined based on radio mapping using signal strength from one or more transmitters.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising:
scanning a package with an image sensor; and
determining the micro point address from the package.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising:
receiving a navigation request including the micro point address; and
generating a route to the micro point address based on the location data.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The method of claim 5, wherein the route includes a first portion of the route using a first routing algorithm a second portion of the route using a second routing algorithm.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The method of claim 6, wherein the first portion of the route terminates at a limited coverage zone and the second portion of the route originates at the limited coverage zone.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising:
identifying a floor number based on the location data.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The method of claim 8, wherein the location data corresponds to an indoor radio map for the floor number.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising:
associating the location data with a grid location identifier in response to the comparison.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The method of claim 10, the method further comprising:
identifying a floor dimension; and
calculating a floor number based on an identified nearby location height for the location data and the floor dimension, wherein the floor number is stored in association with the grid location identifier.

### Claim 12 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein performing the comparison of the audio data to at least one predetermined audio sample further comprises:
performing a comparison of the audio data to a plurality of predetermined doorbell templates.

### Claim 13

An apparatus for micro point address detection in response to an audio trigger, the apparatus further comprising:
an audio sensor configured to collect audio data;
position circuitry configured to collect location data; and
a controller configured to perform a comparison of the audio data to at least one predetermined audio template, identify a doorbell in response to the comparison, and store a micro point address in association with the location data in response to the comparison.

### Claim 14 (depends on 13)

The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the at least one predetermined audio template includes a plurality of audio templates that vary with respect to frequency, distance, or sequence of sounds.

### Claim 15 (depends on 13)

The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the controller identifies the micro point address from reverse geocoding of the location data, a user input, or image processing of image data.

### Claim 16

A method for micro point address detection in response to an audio trigger, the method further comprising:
receiving data associated with a doorbell at a mobile device;
performing, using a processor, a comparison the data associated with the doorbell to at least one template;
receiving location data for the mobile device;
when there is a match between the data associated with the doorbell and the at least one template, identifying a doorbell in response to the comparison; and
storing a micro point address for the location data in response to the identified doorbell.

### Claim 17 (depends on 16)

The method of claim 16, wherein the at least one template is included in a plurality of doorbell templates having different ranges of frequencies or different distances.

### Claim 18 (depends on 16)

The method of claim 16, wherein the location data for the mobile device is determined based on radio mapping using signal strength from one or more transmitters.

### Claim 19 (depends on 16)

The method of claim 16, wherein the data associated with the doorbell includes an identifier for a type of doorbell, wherein the location data is accessed based on the identifier.

### Claim 20 (depends on 16)

The method of claim 16, wherein, when there is not a match between the data associated with the doorbell and the at least one template, storing the data associated with the doorbell as a new template.
