METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR GEOLOCATION MAPPING OF INDOOR LOCATIONS USING PAYMENT DATA
First Claim
1. A method for mapping merchant boundaries, comprising:
- storing, in a transaction database, a plurality of transaction data entries, wherein each transaction data entry includes data related to a payment transaction including at least a merchant identifier, a consumer identifier, and a transaction time and/or date;
identifying, in the transaction database, a subset of transaction data entries, wherein each transaction data entry in the subset of transaction data entries includes a common merchant identifier;
receiving, for each transaction data entry in the identified subset of transaction data entries, a geographic location of a mobile communication device associated with the respective included consumer identifier temporally proximal to the respective included transaction time and/or date; and
generating, by a processing device, a boundary map for a merchant associated with the common merchant identifier based on the geographic locations received for each transaction data entry in the identified subset of transaction data entries.

15. A system for mapping merchant boundaries, comprising:
-
a transaction database configured to store a plurality of transaction data entries, wherein each transaction data entry includes data related to a payment transaction including at least a merchant identifier, a consumer identifier, and a transaction time and/or date; a processing device configured to identify, in the transaction database, a subset of transaction data entries, wherein each transaction data entry in the subset of transaction data entries includes a common merchant identifier; and a receiving device configured to receive, for each transaction data entry in the identified subset of transaction data entries, a geographic location of a mobile communication device associated with the respective included consumer identifier temporally proximal to the respective included transaction time and/or date, wherein the processing device is further configured to generate a boundary map for a merchant associated with the common merchant identifier based on the geographic locations received for each transaction data entry in the identified subset of transaction data entries. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
