Appl. No.:

13/409892

Inventors:

Alex HRYBYK - Linthicum MD, US
Kenneth R. Good - Odenton MD, US

Assignee:

LOCKHEED MARTIN CORPORATION - Bethesda MD

International Classification:

G01P 15/00

US Classification:

702141

Abstract:

An approach is provided for determining a position of a device and/or a travel path of the device. A position of a device is defined as a first position. Accelerometer data associated with the device during a movement of the device from the first position to a second position is determined. The accelerometer data is processed to determine a step rate of a user of the device during the movement of the device from the first position to the second position. A step length of the user is determined from a user profile. A direction of movement of the device from the first position to the second position is determined. The step rate, the step length, and the direction of movement of the device are processed to determine a location of the second position with respect to the first position.

Abstract:

An approach is provided for causing a change in a security policy of a device based on contextual information. The approach involves determining context information associated with a device. The approach also involves determining a security policy of the device. The approach further involves determining a change of the context information. The approach additionally involves processing the determined change of the context information to cause, at least in part, a revision of the security policy of the device.
