AI BASED SMARTPHONE LOCALIZATION

Continuous positioning. On your smartphone.

AI Based Smartphone Localization uses the built-in sensors of commercial smartphones and a supporting map database to estimate a user's position continuously, in real time, across outdoor and indoor environments.

FROM MOVEMENT TO LOCATION

Every step. A connected story.

Follow a smartphone from the outdoor plaza into a building — while viewing the screen, taking a call, or carrying it with a natural arm swing. Explore how sensor data, AI and map context come together as one continuous trajectory.

A walk begins outside.

The phone moves with its user. Built-in sensors supply the measurements used by the positioning system.

SMARTPHONE SENSING

Positioning intelligence on hardware you already carry.

Like the KAILOS Neural Engine, this system uses an AI model to estimate position from sensor data. It brings that principle to the built-in hardware of commercially available smartphones.

As a person walks with a phone, its sensors provide a stream of measurements. The AI model interprets that data to estimate position over time, turning everyday movement into a continuous location trajectory.

INDOOR–OUTDOOR CONTINUITY

A continuous location across the doorway.

A map database supports the AI-based positioning system as the user moves between outdoor spaces and indoor environments. Together, sensor data, AI models and map information enable continuous, real-time location updates.

The map provides the spatial context for the location estimate. The result is a trajectory that can be followed across the transition from an outdoor space to a building interior.
