First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving, from a mobile device, locations of a mobile device interacting with an access point at different times;
determining distances between the locations at the different times associated with the access point;
determining the access point is a mobile access point based on one of the distances exceeding a predefined threshold; and
transmitting, to mobile devices, location data identifying locations of access points and the access point as a mobile access point.

Abstract
In some implementations, a method includes receiving, from a server, location data identifying locations of access points and mobile access points. A mobile device may determine an identifier of an access point within a communication range. The identifier is compared with the location data to identify parameters for the access point. The access point is determined to be a mobile access point based on the identified parameters included in the location data. In response to identifying the mobile access point, operating parameters executed by the mobile device are updated.
