Abstract
A method and apparatus are disclosed with the method including obtaining positioning data collection condition information representing positioning data collection condition(s) for collecting positioning data for updating and/or generating a positioning map. The method includes obtaining or holding available historical sensor information representing behavioral and/or environmental pattern(s) that were detected by sensor(s) of a mobile device and determining mapping information representing, for each behavioral and/or environmental pattern, whether or not at least one positioning data collection condition was met. The method also includes obtaining current sensor information representing a behavioral and/or environmental pattern that is currently detected by the sensor(s) and determining, at least partially based on the current sensor information and the mapping information, whether positioning data should be collected. If it is determined that positioning data should be collected, the method includes collecting positioning data by the mobile device for updating and/or generating the positioning map.
