Predicting Presence of a Mobile User Equipment
First Claim
1. A method of predicting presence of a mobile user equipment, performed on a computer system and comprising the steps of:
- determining a set of time-distributed locations of a number of mutually associated mobile user equipments,calculating an aggregated location as a function of a location distribution of the set of locations,for each mobile user equipment, predicting a probability that the mobile user equipment will be present at the aggregated location at a future time, andinitiating sending, to any of the mobile user equipments, a message indicating that another mobile user equipment of the mobile user equipments is predicted to be present at the aggregated location at a specific future time.
