System and method for collocation detection
First Claim
1. An electronic device comprising:
- one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media that store instructions; and
one or more processors that execute the instructions to;
obtain a first object observation comprising a first object identifier, a first observation time, and a first observation location;
obtain a second object observation comprising a second object identifier, a second observation time, and a second observation location;
identify a first observing station at the first observation location and associated with the first object observation;
obtain a parameter indicating a first observing station type of the first observing station;
determine a first geographic area based at least in part on the first observing station type and first observation location, wherein a size of the first geographic area reflects a level of coverage of the first observing station type;
associate the first observation with the first geographic area; and
associate the second observation with a second geographic area.

Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for collocation detection. In accordance with one implementation, a method is provided for collocation detection. The method includes obtaining a first object observation that includes a first object identifier, a first observation time, and a first observation location. The method also includes obtaining a second object observation that includes a second object identifier, a second observation time, and a second observation location. In addition, the method includes associating the first observation with a first area on a map, associating the second observation with a second area on the map, and determining whether a potential meeting occurred between objects associated with the first object identifier and the second object identifier based on the first and second observation times, and the first and second areas.
