DETERMINING USER STAYS OF A USER OF A MOBILE DEVICE
First Claim
1. A method of automatically determining user stays of a user of a mobile device, comprising:
- sensing location information, by the mobile device, wherein the location information includes a plurality of components;
determining the mobile device is within a specific distance of a specific location for at least specific minimum time duration based on the location information;
determining a start time of a user stay based on the location information, the specific location and the specific distance; and
determining an end time of the user stay based on the location information, the specific location and the specific distance.

Abstract
Methods, systems and apparatuses for automatically determining user stays of a user of a mobile device are disclosed. One embodiment includes a network server operative to receive sensed location information of a mobile device. Further, the network server and/or a controller of the mobile device are operative to determine the mobile device is within a specific distance of a specific location for at least specific minimum time duration based on the location information, determine a start time of a user stay based on the location information, the specific location and the specific distance, and determine an end time of the user stay based on the location information, the specific location and the specific distance.
