Abstract

Systems and methods for managing LBS device data are disclosed. In an aspect, one method comprises receiving historical location data associated with a device, determining a weak data of the historical location data, modifying the historical location data to manage the weak data, determining a pattern of one or more locations based on the modified historical location data, determining an out of ordinary rule based upon the determined pattern, receiving a current location data; and generating an alert when the current location data triggers the out of ordinary rule.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

receiving historical location data associated with a device;

determining a weak data of the historical location data;

modifying the historical location data to manage the weak data;

determining a pattern of one or more locations based on the modified historical location data;

determining an out of ordinary rule based upon the determined pattern;

receiving a current location data; and

generating an alert when the current location data triggers the out of ordinary rule.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein one or more of the historical location data and the current location data comprises GPS data, GSM systems data, CDMA systems data, Wi-Fi chipset data, ,GPS data, Synthetic GPS data, Cell ID data, Inertial sensor data, Barometric data, Ultrasonic data, Bluetooth data and Terrestrial Transmitter data, Galileo data, and GLONASS data.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the pattern comprises one or more repeated locations contained in the modified location historical data.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the out of ordinary rule comprises a threshold range from the determined pattern of one or more locations.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein modifying the historical location data comprises one or more of omitting the determined weak data and substituting a strong value for the determined weak value.

2. The method of claim I, wherein the device is a mobile device.

4. The method of claim I, wherein determining a pattern of one or more locations comprises determining one or more ordinary locations associated with the device.

8. A method comprising:

receiving historical location data associated with a device;

determining a weak data of the historical location data;

modifying the historical location data to manage the weak data; and

determining a location of the device based on the modified historical location data.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the device is a mobile device.

10. The method of claim 8, wherein the historical location data comprises GPS data, GSM systems data, CDMA systems data, Wi-Fi chipset data, AGPS data, Synthetic GPS data, Cell ID data, Inertial sensor data, Barometric data, Ultrasonic data, Bluetooth data and Terrestrial Transmitter data, Galileo data, and GLONASS data.

11. The method of claim 8, wherein determining a weak data comprises determining common historical daily routes, common location for time of day, or common traveled distance for the age of a user from a standard location, or a combination thereof.

12. The method of claim 8, wherein modifying the historical location data comprises omitting the determined weak data.

13. The method of claim 8, wherein modifying the historical location data comprises substituting a strong value for the determined weak value.

14. The method of claim 8, wherein determining a location comprises calculating one of a current location and a predicted future location.

15. A method comprising:

receiving historical location data associated with a device;

determining a pattern of one or more locations based on the historical location data associated with the device;

determining an out of ordinary rule based upon the determined pattern;

receiving a current location data; and

generating an alert when the current location data triggers the out of ordinary rule.

16. The method of claim 15, wherein one or more of the historical location data and the current location data comprises GPS, GSM systems data, CDMA systems data, Wi-Fi chipset data, AGPS data, Synthetic GPS data, Cell ID data, Inertial sensor data, Barometric data, Ultrasonic data, Bluetooth data and Terrestrial Transmitter data, Galileo, and GLONASS.

17. The method of claim 15, wherein determining a pattern of one or more locations comprises determining one or more ordinary locations associated with the device.

18. The method of claim 15, wherein the pattern comprises one or more repeated locations contained in the location historical data.

19. The method of claim 15, wherein the out of ordinary rule comprises a threshold range from the determined pattern of one or more locations.

20. The method of claim 15, further comprising transmitting the alert to indicate that the device is located at an out of ordinary location.
