APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR ASSOCIATING A LOCATION FIX HAVING A QUALITY OF SERVICE WITH AN EVENT OCCURING ON A WIRELESS DEVICE
First Claim
1. A method for estimating a geographical position corresponding to a wireless device event, comprising:
- receiving at least one of a first geographical position data of the wireless device corresponding to a first location fix having a first Quality of Service (QoS) and a second geographical position data of the wireless device corresponding to a second location fix having a second QoS, wherein the first and second QoS result in fixes based at least partly on terrestrial wireless communication measurements; and
determining an estimated geographical position of the wireless device based on a predetermined relationship between the event and at least one of the first geographical position data and the second geographical position data.

Abstract
Apparatus and methods for estimating a geographical position corresponding to an event associated with operation of a wireless device communicating in a wireless communications network. The time and distance between the occurrence of the event and the related time and speed of the wireless device of at least one of a first and second location fix, respectively measured before and after the event, are analyzed. The first and second location fixes having Quality of Service (QoS) adjusted such that the resulting fixes are based at least partly on terrestrial wireless communication measurements. These analyses include comparing those metrics to predetermined time thresholds to validate a geographic position and, in some instances, determine a preferred geographic position to associate with the event.
