Patent attributes
Methods for interior climate control of a building utilizing multimodal sensor positioning using an electronic mobile device are presented, the method including: causing the electronic mobile device to receive a building floor plan; generating a number of fingerprint databases corresponding with the building floor plan; determining positions of users each having a mobile electronic device in the building; receiving occupancy climate parameters; and adjusting interior climate control for a zone corresponding with users in the zone and occupation climate parameters. In some embodiments, generating a number of fingerprint databases further includes: performing a single walkthrough of the building with the mobile electronic device; gathering spatial sensor data corresponding with the mobile electronic device during the single walkthrough, where the spatial sensor data corresponds with any of images WiFi signal strength, Bluetooth signal strength, and/or magnetic vector fingerprint captured along a path traversed during the walkthrough.
