US Patent 11788843 Determining the location of a mobile device

A computer-implemented method of determining a location of a mobile device is provided. The method can include receiving inertial data generated at the mobile device, the inertial data including a plurality of samples taken at different times, segmenting the inertial data into pseudo-independent windows, wherein each pseudo-independent window can include a plurality of the samples and wherein one or more initial states for each pseudo-independent window are treated as unknown, estimating a change in navigation state over each pseudo-independent window using the samples of inertial data, and summing the changes in the navigation states over the pseudo-independent windows so as to determine the location of the mobile device.
