1. A non-intrusive information gathering method, comprising:

  • a. providing a network architecture that includes a plurality of synchronized receivers and at least one processor in communication with said receivers;

    b. mathematically characterizing a defined local space (DLS) which includes said receivers arranged in a selected volumetric array;

    c. periodically broadcasting a series of request signals from a base station of a wireless service provider system, wherein each request signal is intended for a particular two-way wireless terminal;

    d. intercepting, through said receivers, each automatic return signal that is transmitted to the base station by an associated two-way wireless terminal within the DLS; and

    e. processing each intercepted automatic return signal to extract terminal specific information therefrom and to physically locate the return signal'"'"'s associated wireless terminal within the DLS.
