IDENTIFICATION OF MOBILE DEVICE LOCATION
First Claim
1. A method for identifying a location of a mobile device, the method comprising:
- receiving location information from a mobile device, wherein the location information includes a sampling of location coordinates of the mobile device over a period of time;
generating, by one or more processors, a path, using the sampling of location coordinates of the mobile device over the period of time;
comparing, by one or more processors, the path to geographic information system (GIS) data associated with the received location information; and
determining, by one or more processors, additional location information based on the path and the GIS data.

Abstract
An approach for identifying a location of a mobile device is provided. In the approach, location information from a mobile device is received, wherein the location information includes a sampling of location coordinates of the mobile device over a period of time. A processor generates a path, using the sampling of location coordinates of the mobile device over the period of time. A processor compares the path to geographic information system (GIS) data associated with the received location information. A processor determines additional location information based on the path and the GIS data.
