METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CROWD-SOURCED TRUSTED-GPS REGION FOR MOBILE DEVICE LOCALIZATION

A method and system for deploying a trusted-global positioning system (trusted-GPS) positioning map. The method comprises receiving, at a memory of the server computing device, at least a first set of fingerprint data and at least a first set of GPS position data for a sequence of positions traversed within an indoor area by at least a first mobile device, generating, using the processor, a distribution of positioning data points of the indoor area for which a correlation between the at least a first set of fingerprint data and the at least a first set of GPS position data for respective ones of the sequence of positions exceeds a threshold correlation value, and when the distribution exceeds at least one of a predetermined and a dynamically updated threshold density of positioning data points, deploying the distribution as the trusted-GPS positioning map of the indoor area.
