SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING MOBILE DEVICE LOCATION
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented mobile device locating method comprising:
- (a) determining a current cell sector of a mobile device;
(b) comparing the current cell sector with a cell sector list of previously determined cell sectors;
(c) determining a current location of the mobile device if the current cell sector is not listed in the cell sector list;
(d) comparing the current location with at least one prior determined location comprising a last determined location;
(e) adding the current cell sector to the cell sector list if the current location is substantially the same as the last determined location;
(f) clearing the cell sector list if the current location is not substantially the same as the last determined location; and
(g) repeating steps (a)-(f) after a first predetermined period of time.

Abstract
A computer-implemented mobile device locating method is provided. The method includes determining a current cell sector of a mobile device and comparing the current cell sector with a cell sector list of previously determined cell sectors. A current location of the mobile device is determined if the current cell sector is not listed in the cell sector list. The current location is compared with a last determined location. The current cell sector is added to the cell sector list if the current location is substantially the same as the last determined location. The cell sector list is cleared if the current location is not substantially the same as the last determined location.
