METHOD FOR LOCATION DETERMINATION AND A MOBILE DEVICE
First Claim
1. A method for location determination using sequential pattern recognition, the method comprising:
- determining a specific sequence of identifiers of a plurality of base transceiver stations that control cells through which a mobile device has passed when travelling along a path;
comparing the specific sequence of identifiers of a plurality of base transceiver stations with a look-up table stored in a database, the look-up table comprising all possible sequence of identifiers of base transceiver stations and a location for each of the sequence of identifiers of base transceiver stations; and
determining the location of the path from the comparison;
wherein the specific sequence of identifiers of each of the plurality of base transceiver stations is determined by a server as a result of data received from one or more of the plurality of base transceiver stations.

Abstract
A method and mobile device for location determination using sequential pattern recognition are disclosed. The method comprises determining a specific sequence of identifiers of a plurality of base transceiver stations that control cells through which a mobile device has passed when travelling along a path. The specific sequence of identifiers of a plurality of base transceiver stations are compared with a look-up table stored in a database. The look-up table comprises all possible sequence of identifiers of base transceiver stations and a location for each of the sequence of identifiers of base transceiver stations. The location of the path is determined from the comparison.

13. A method for location determination using sequential pattern recognition, the method comprising:
-
determining a specific set of identifiers of a plurality of base transceiver stations that control cells in a zone in which a mobile device is located, the set of identifiers of base transceiver station being set on or transferred to the mobile device; comparing the specific set of identifiers of a plurality of base transceiver stations with a look-up table stored in a database, the look-up table comprising all possible sets of identifiers of base transceiver stations and a location for each of the sets of identifiers of base transceiver stations; and determining a characteristic of the zone from the comparison. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 20, 21, 24)

33. A method of locating a mobile device comprising:
-
receiving base transceiver station identifiers from one or more base transceiver stations within range of the mobile device, comparing the received base transceiver station identifiers to one or more sets, each set including one or more base transceiver station identifiers, each set associated with a zone and/or location, and at least one zone and/or location having two or more sets, each set including the base transceiver station identifiers received in a particular location with the zone; and if there is a match, determining the location of the mobile device as the zone and/or location associated with the matching set. - View Dependent Claims (34, 35, 37)
