Location stamping and logging of electronic events and habitat generation
First Claim
1. A method for logging electronic events associated with a mobile device, the method comprising:
- receiving an event indicator representing an occurrence of an electronic event, the electronic event comprising a telephone call;
in response to receiving the event indicator, retrieving location information associated with the mobile device;
translating the location information into a geographic location description;
retrieving an event description associated with the event indicator;
storing data corresponding to the event indicator, the location information, a date and a time associated with the electronic event, and a pointer to a data file created as a result of the electronic event in an entry of an activity log; and
providing a visual representation of the activity log, the visual representation comprising the event description and the geographic location description associated with the occurrence of the electronic event, and a map visually depicting the location information associated with the occurrence of the electronic event.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer-readable media provide for the detection, location stamping, and logging of electronic events and subsequent generation of habitat information. According to implementations, electronic events are detected and location stamped. Associated descriptions and other data corresponding to the electronic events is retrieved and stored along with the geographic locations of the electronic events in an activity log. The information in the activity log is used to generate visual representations of one or more geographic areas in which electronic events that meet user-defined or default criteria occurred within a predetermined frequency.
