Abstract
Various methods, apparatuses and/or articles of manufacture are provided which may, for example, be implemented to compute one or more inferences from signals generated by one or more inertial sensors or environmental sensors, detect an erroneous condition responsive to a comparison of the computed inference(s) with an initial position or a position fix, and, in response to the detection of the erroneous condition, affect at least one process at the mobile device that is used, at least in part, to obtain a position fix.
