Abstract
Crowd sourcing data is translated into a standard crowd sourcing format for crowd sourcing analytics. Mobile devices automatically send reports of standardized crowd sourcing information to a centralized crowd-sourcing server. The centralized crowd-sourcing server aggregates all the reports according to location. Crowd sourcing applications query the centralized crowd-sourcing server to retrieve standardized data for populations of mobile devices sharing the same location. Crowd sourcing analytics may be quickly and inexpensively performed with reduced queries to individual devices.
