SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR NAMING A LOCATION BASED ON USER-SPECIFIC INFORMATION
First Claim
1. A system for naming a location, the system comprising:
- a mobile communication device associated with a user comprising a position locator system configured to identify a location of the mobile communication device;
a first data store for storing general information relating to the location, wherein the general information is managed by or for an entity other than the user;
a second data store for storing user-specific information that is managed by or for the user; and
a name generation module configured to receive the location of the mobile communication device, to retrieve from the first data store general information relating to the location, and to generate a name for the location based on an atemporal correlation between the general information relating to the location and the user-specific information.

Abstract
A system for naming a location includes a mobile communication device equipped with a position locator system that is configured to identify a location of the device, a first data store for storing general information that is managed by or for an entity other than the user and that is related to the location, a second data store for storing user-specific information that is managed by or for the user, and a name generation module. According to aspects of one embodiment, the name generation module is configured to receive the location of the mobile communication device, to retrieve from the first data store general information relating to the location, and to generate a name for the location based on an atemporal correlation between the general information and the user-specific information.
