Abstract
A method is disclosed including determining an indicator information indicative of one or more indicators of a current usage of an electronic device, determining a condition information indicative of if the electronic device is rigidly positioned with respect to a user, wherein the condition information is determined based, at least in part, on the determined indicator information. It is further disclosed an according apparatus, computer program and system.
Claims23
An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to at least perform:
- determining an indicator information indicative of one or more indicators of a current usage of an electronic device;
- determining a condition information indicative of if the electronic device is rigidly positioned with respect to a user, wherein the condition information is determined based, at least in part, on the determined indicator information;
- checking or causing checking whether the condition information represents the electronic device is rigidly positioned with respect to the user;
- and
- performing a first localization for the electronic device when the condition information indicates the electronic device is rigidly positioned with respect to the user;
- and
- performing a second localization for the electronic device when the condition information indicates the electronic device is not rigidly positioned with respect to the user providing or causing providing a relative information of the electronic device.
(canceled)
A method, comprising:
- determining an indicator information indicative of one or more indicators of a current usage of an electronic device;
- determining a condition information indicative of if the electronic device is rigidly positioned in a fixed orientation, for a predetermined period of time, with respect to a user, wherein the condition information is determined based, at least in part, on the determined indicator information;
- performing a first localization for the electronic device when the condition information indicates the electronic device is rigidly positioned in the fixed orientation, for the predetermined period of time, with respect to the user;
- and
- performing a second localization for the electronic device when the condition information indicates the electronic device is not rigidly positioned in the fixed orientation, for the predetermined period of time, with respect to the user.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer program code, the computer program code when executed by a processor causing an apparatus to perform or control:
- determining an indicator information indicative of one or more indicators of a current usage of an electronic device;
- determining a condition information indicative of if the electronic device is rigidly positioned with respect to a user in a pocket of the user, wherein the condition information is determined, at least in part, based on the determined indicator information;
- and
- selecting a first localization process or a second localization process for indoor positioning in response to the condition information indicative of whether the electronic device is rigidly positioned with respect to the user.
