The patent consists of a system combining GPS and Wireless signals (Wi-Fi and\/or cellular) to determine a position. When GPS signal is not available then the system uses Wi-Fi or cellular triangulation.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Skyhook Wireless, a provider of Wi-Fi and hybrid positioning services today announced that the U.S. Patent Office (USPTO) awarded it USPN 7,493,127: Continuous Data Optimization of New Access Points in Positioning Systems.
