Predictive ephemeral Points-of-interest (PEPOI)
First Claim
1. An apparatus to provide a predictive ephemeral point-of-interest (PEPOI), comprising:
- a predictive model application module to apply a predictive point-of-interest model to at least one previously recorded location at a given time for a given type of point-of-interest; and
a module to input a given time associated with a received request for a predictive ephemeral point-of-interest (PEPOI) to said predictive point-of-interest model, and to generate a predictive ephemeral point-of-interest.

Abstract
Predicted ephemeral Points of Interest (PEPOI) are provided to wireless application users, as are likelihood maps. Wireless application users are provided with the ability to record locations and retrieve maps of past locations and predicted future locations of PEPOIs of specific interest. To predict a location for a PEPOI, data about previous reported locations are gathered, along with variable values associated with variations in location. The variables gathered may differ based on the type of PEPOI in question. For instance, a person has different variables associated with its locations than does a storm cloud. Once there is enough data recorded to provide predictable patterns, desirable methods of statistical analysis are chosen depending of the behavior model of PEPOI, which can be used to present a visual guide to finding the PEPOIs at a particular time in the future.
