Abstract

Systems and methods for determining locations and configuring controllable devices are provided. Example systems and methods include determining a first location estimate for a computing device using a first interior location estimating technique. The example systems and method may also include determining a second location estimate for the computing device by refining the first location estimate using a second interior location estimating technique, the first interior location estimating technique being different than the second interior location estimating technique. The first interior location estimating technique may be based on round-trip time to multiple wireless communication devices. The second interior location estimating technique may be based on image data.
