Detecting the context of a user using a mobile device based on wireless signal characteristics

摘要

Systems and methods are provided for determining a user context based on one or more wireless signals. In particular, location data can be determined by a user device. The user device can then detect beacon data broadcast by a first set of beacon devices, and subsequent to detecting the first beacon data, second beacon data broadcast by a second set of beacon devices. The location data can be compared with the first beacon data and the second beacon data to determine a user context. In particular, a context can be determined based at least in part on whether the location data is indicative of a changing location of a user, and whether the second beacon data corresponds to a change in beacon data from the first beacon data.
