System to mine information from data generated by Location Enabled Devices
First Claim
1. System for archiving useful data acquired by Position Determination System (PDS) in a Location enabled wireless telecommunication network. The data may include at the minimum Time, Longitude, Latitude, Altitude, Velocity and Direction of the Object carrying the Wireless Device. Additional information can be saved to specifically identify a wireless device. Location Information may be calculated using any of the known method like GPS, A-GPS, AFLT, EFLT, RSSI, Cell Sector or any other means. The Object can be a person, vehicle or any other physical entity carrying or hosting the wireless device. The wireless device can be any location enabled device capable of operating with one or more types of wireless network like CDMA, GSM, UMTS, Wi-Fi and others. The wireless device can also be any other location enabled device or system that is capable of relaying or transmitting the location information back to the central server system either over public wireless network or any other type of network.

Abstract
The present invention describes a method and system of extracting useful information from the location data record of a Wireless Device, available at Position Determination System (PDS) in a wireless network such as CDMA, GSM, UMTS, WiFi and other current and future networks. The location data may include Time, Longitude, Latitude, Altitude, Velocity and Direction of the Object. The information extracted and derived from this data is broadly related to, but not limited to, 1) Vehicular Traffic information 2) Demographic behavioral and trending information. The current invention is also envisioning a system and protocol of conveying this information to other systems that can use this information along with information form other sources, if any, for providing additional services. As a corollary, the invention is also proposing Location Enabled Remote Sensor System.

8. Also claimed is a generic system for collecting, transmitting, archiving, processing and presenting the real time and near real time information acquired by location enabled sensor devices. The sensor devices could be any type of sensor or gauge that can sense relevant information and make it more useful by annotating time and location information to it.
