Abstract
A determination of whether a mobile computing device is indoors or outdoors can incorporate any of a variety of factors to make an efficient and accurate determination of indoor-outdoor status. Such a status can be useful for use in conjunction with positioning services. Features such as bounding boxes, activity determination, and the like can be used to strike a balance between power consumption and accuracy. A positive user experience with fewer false detections can result.
