Abstract
A method includes identifying a location of at least on of a plurality of electronic devices within an area of interest. The method includes, based on at least the location of the at least one of the plurality of electronic devices, determining signal strength at a plurality of points within the area of interest. The method includes providing a modification of the area of interest to improve the signal strength at one of the plurality of points.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- based at least on a location of an electronic device, for a point within an area of interest, determining a signal strength;
- determining a floor plan associated with the area of interest, wherein a map of the area of interest is based on at least the floor plan;
- on the map, including an indicator of the signal strength at a reference point associated with the point;
- determining a viewpoint of a user device within the area of interest based on at least a relative location of the user device to the point, the user device configured to display an image indicative of the viewpoint;
- and
- overlaying the indicator on the image.
A device comprising:
- a display;
- a processor communicatively coupled to the display;
- and
- memory communicatively coupled to the processor, the memory storing executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising:
- based at least on a location of an electronic device, for a point within an area of interest, determining a signal strength;
- determining a floor plan associated with the area of interest, wherein a map of the area of interest is based on at least the floor plan;
- on the map, including an indicator of the signal strength at a reference point associated with the point;
- determining a viewpoint of the device within the area of interest based on at least a relative location of the device to the point;
- displaying, on the display, an image indicative of the viewpoint;
- and
- overlaying the indicator on the image.
A nontransitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that causes a processor executing the instructions to effectuate operations comprising:
- based at least on a location of an electronic device, for a point within an area of interest, determining a signal strength;
- determining a floor plan associated with the area of interest, wherein a map of the area of interest is based on at least the floor plan;
- on the map, including an indicator of the signal strength at a reference point associated with the point;
- determining a viewpoint of a user device within the area of interest based on at least a relative location of the user device to the point, the user device configured to display an image indicative of the viewpoint;
- and
- overlaying the indicator on the image.
