Patent Images
1. A system comprising:
- an interface for receiving first location data associated with a first object and second location data associated with a second object;
a database that includes locations;
a location calculation module, wherein, in operation, the processor executes the location calculation module to determine the distance or relative location with respect to the first object and the second object, said determining including;
predicting a first location associated with the first object by comparing the first location data to locations in the database;
predicting a second location associated with the second object by comparing the second location data to locations in the database;
comparing the first location and the second location;
an organic growth module, wherein, in operation, the processor executes the organic growth module to add new locations to the database when the first location data or the second location data identify the new locations.
