Client boundary location
View Patent ↗Example implementations relate to client boundary location. For example, a non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions executable by a processing resource to cause a computer to estimate a location of a client within a first boundary; determine whether there is a pathway between the first boundary and a second boundary for the client to move; and indicate whether the client is in the first boundary or the second boundary based on the determination of the pathway and the estimated location of the client.
1. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions executable by a processing resource to cause a computer to:
estimate a location of a client within a first boundary;
determine whether the client entered a second boundary based on prior client movements;
determine whether there is a pathway between the first boundary and the second boundary for the client to move, based on the determination of whether the client entered the second boundary and remained within the second boundary for a predetermined amount of time; and
indicate whether the client is in the first boundary or the second boundary based on:
the determination of the pathway; and
the estimated location of the client.
2. The medium of claim 1 , wherein the instructions are executable to estimate the location of the client based on a determination that the client was moving from the first boundary toward the second boundary.
3. The medium of claim 1 , wherein the instructions are executable to estimate a location of the client as being at an intersection of the first boundary and the second boundary.
4. The medium of claim 3 , wherein the instructions are executable to indicate the client is in the first boundary in response to a determination that there is not a pathway between the first boundary and the second boundary.
5. The medium of claim 3 , wherein the instructions are executable to indicate that client has moved into the second boundary in response to a determination that there is a pathway between the first boundary and the second boundary.
6. An apparatus, comprising a processing resource to execute instructions to:
estimate a location of a client within a first boundary;
determine movement of the client toward a second boundary;
determine whether the client entered the second boundary and remained within the second boundary for a predetermined amount of time based on prior client movements;
determine whether a location at an intersection of the first boundary and the second boundary includes a pathway between the first and second boundary based on the client having remained in the second boundary for the predetermined amount of time, wherein the movement of the client toward the second boundary includes movement toward the location; and
in response to a determination that the intersection includes the pathway, indicate the client is located in the second boundary.
7. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the processing resource is to, in response to a determination that the intersection does not include the pathway, indicate the client is located in the first boundary.
8. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the processing resource is to determine whether the intersection includes the pathway based on data indicating pathways between the first boundary and the second boundary.
9. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the processing resource is to determine whether the intersection includes the pathway by learning where the pathways are located between the first boundary and the second boundary.
10. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the processing resource is to learn where the pathways are located based on prior client movements.
11. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the processing resource is to determine that a pathway is located between the first boundary and the second boundary in response to the prior client movements indicating that the client moved from within the first boundary to within the secondary boundary.
12. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the processing resource is to determine that there is not a pathway located between the first boundary and the second boundary in response to the prior client movements indicating that the client has not previously moved between the first boundary and the secondary boundary at the intersection.
13. A method, comprising:
estimating a location of a client within a first boundary;
determining whether the client entered a second boundary based on prior client movements;
determining that the client is approaching an intersection between the first boundary and the second boundary;
determining whether the intersection includes a pathway between the first boundary and the second boundary based on the determination of whether the client entered the second boundary and remained within the second boundary for a predetermined amount of time; and
in response to a determination that the intersection includes the pathway based on the client having remained in the second boundary for the predetermined amount of time, indicating that the client is located in the second boundary when movements of the client indicate that the client has entered the second boundary.
14. The method of claim 13 , comprising, in response to a determination that the intersection does not include the pathway based on the client having not remained in the second boundary for the predetermined amount of time, indicating that the client is located in the first boundary.
15. The method of claim 14 , comprising continuing to determine that the client is in the first boundary in response to:
the intersection not including the pathway; and movements of the client indicating that the client is moving into the second boundary.
