System and method for analyzing the precision of geo-location services in a wireless network terminal
First Claim
1. A method for determining desired physical locations of reference points for use in identifying geographic locations of mobile terminals in a wireless network, the method comprising:
- inputting information pertaining to a plurality of reference terminals in the wireless network, the information including respective location information for each of the reference terminals; and
generating, based on the input information, a visual display illustrating the locations of the reference terminals, along with a visual indication representing expected accuracy in geo-location calculations for determining respective geographic locations of the mobile terminals in the network.

Abstract
A system and method for presenting an interactive visual feedback, based upon input parameters, indicating quality levels in terminal location detection in a network at selectable points on a map. The system and method includes an application in which a user provides information regarding network terminals, terminal locations, and map parameters. In response, the application then provides a visual indication of expected accuracy in geo-location calculations for terminals at specific points in a network map.
