1. A method, comprising:
- defining one or more Points Of Interest (POIs) in a given geographical area;
defining one or more target individuals at one or more of the POIs;
receiving from an automated location tracking system tracked locations of the target individuals in the given geographical area;
based on the tracked locations, progressively narrowing down, over time, using a computer, a predicted subset of the POIs at which the target individuals are expected to meet a predetermined criteria; and
indicating the progressively narrowed-down predicted subset of the POIs to an operator.

Abstract
Embodiments that are described herein provide improved methods and systems for predicting threatened POIs. In some embodiments, an automated location tracking system tracks the locations of one or more target individuals. The locations of the target individuals may be tracked, for example, by tracking the cellular phones of the targets, or using various other automated location tracking techniques. Based on the tracked locations, a prediction system anticipates the future locations of the targets. Over time, the system uses this information to progressively narrow down the list of possibly-threatened POIs.

11. Apparatus, comprising:
-
a memory, which is configured to hold a definition of one or more Points Of Interest (POIs) in a given geographical area, and a definition of one or more target individuals at one or more of the POIs; and a processor, which is configured to receive tracked locations of the target individuals in the given geographical area, to progressively narrow down, over time, based on the tracked locations, a predicted subset of the POIs at which the target individuals are expected to meet a predetermined criteria, and to indicate the progressively narrowed-down predicted subset of the POIs to an operator. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
