8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the product and/or service recommendation is generated further based on a total dwell time associated with each of the one or more furniture items in the user space.

9. A method for mapping a space comprising:

aggregating, via a communication device and over time, location data from a portable user device in a user space;

storing the location data in a device location database, the location data comprising 2D coordinates, height information, and timestamps associated with a plurality of locations, wherein the height information is determined based on a movement sensor of the portable user device;

determining, by a control circuit, a plurality of dwell locations in the user space corresponding to locations where the portable user device rests based on the timestamps of the location data; and

comparing, by the control circuit, a cluster of dwell locations with object dimensions associated with the plurality of objects in a object database to identify one or more furniture items in the user space based at least on comparing the 2D coordinates and the height information of the cluster of dwell locations with shapes of the one or more furniture items stored in the object database, wherein the object database is configured to store object dimensions associated with a plurality of objects; and

identifying a room type associated with an area within the user space based on at least one furniture item identified in the area.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the location data of the portable user device comprises locations measured based on one or more inertial measurements, Global Positioning System (GPS), Wi-Fi based positioning system, Near Field Communication (NFC) positioning system, and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) positioning system.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the height information comprises a change in height of the portable user device is detected by one or more of an accelerometer, an altimeter, and a gyroscope of the portable user device.

12. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

identifying one or more pathways in the user space based on the location data.

13. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

determining, based on the location data, a layout of the user space comprising two or more rooms and locations of the one or more objects in the two or more rooms.

14. The method of claim 13 , further comprising:

determining one or more of a room usage and user activity for each of the two or more rooms based on one or more of the location data, the one or more furniture items, and one or more timestamps associated with locations within each of the two or more rooms.

15. The method of claim 9 , further comprising: generating a product and/or service recommendation based on the one or more furniture items in the user space.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the product and/or service recommendation is generated further based on a total dwell time associated with each of the one or more furniture items in the user space.

17. An apparatus for mapping a space comprising:

a non-transitory storage medium storing a set of computer readable instructions; and

a control circuit configured to execute the set of computer readable instructions which causes to the control circuit to:
