Vehicle alert system using mobile location information
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, at a network device of a network, location data transmitted during a first time interval, the location data being related to a plurality of devices, wherein the location data includes at least two global positioning system (GPS) data points of a first device, a single GPS data point of a second device, and information related to a velocity of a third device;
identifying, based at least on the location data, a subset of the plurality of devices that are within a vicinity of a geographic area associated with a traffic event, the subset comprising the first device, the second device, the third device, and a fourth device;
determining that the first device will not approach the geographic area during a second time interval based at least on the at least two GPS data points;
determining that the second device will not approach the geographic area during the second time interval based at least on the single GPS data point and a second location datum;
based at least on the information related to the velocity of the third device indicating that the velocity of the third device does not exceed a threshold, filtering, by the network device, the third device from the subset;
based on the determining that the first device will not approach the geographic area during the second time interval and based on the determining that the second device will not approach the geographic area during the second time interval, filtering, by the network device, the first device and the second device from the subset; and
transmitting, via the network, an alert indicative of the traffic event to the subset.

Abstract
A method includes receiving location data related to devices transmitted during a first interval. The location data includes at least two GPS points of a first device and a single GPS point of a second device. The method includes identifying a subset of the devices that are within a vicinity of an area associated with a traffic event based on the data. The method includes determining that the first device will not approach the area during a second interval based on the two GPS points and determining that the second device will not approach the geographic area during the second interval based at least on the single GPS data point and a second location datum. The method includes filtering the first and second devices from the subset and transmitting an alert indicative of the traffic event to the subset.
