Location analytics employing timed fingerprint location information
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a memory to store executable instructions; and
a processor, coupled to the memory, that facilitates execution of the executable instructions to perform operations, comprising;
determining a location of a user equipment based on a first device timing measurement associated with the user equipment, a second device timing measurement associated with the user equipment, and stored timed fingerprint location information, wherein the stored timed fingerprint location information is based on a first differential timing measurement for a NodeB site pair comprising a first NodeB device and a second NodeB device and a second differential timing measurement for another NodeB site pair comprising a third NodeB device and a fourth NodeB device, wherein the first differential timing measurement is correlated to a first set of location information for a first hyperbola shaped geographic location region and the second differential timing measurement is correlated to a second set of location information for a second hyperbola shaped geographic location region, each determined before the stored timed fingerprint location information is stored, and wherein the first and second sets of location information and the first and second differential timing measurements are stored as part of the stored timed fingerprint location information to facilitate determining the location of the user equipment based on querying the stored timed fingerprint location information to determine an overlap location region between the first hyperbola shaped geographic location region and the second hyperbola shaped geographic location region based on the first and second device timing measurements and the first and second differential timing measurements without redetermining the first and second hyperbola shaped geographic location regions; and
determining a compliance status for a location analytics rule based on the location of the user equipment.

Abstract
The disclosed subject matter provides for employing timed fingerprint location information in location analytics. Timed fingerprint location information can provide a location for a user equipment. The location of the user equipment can be compared to a location analytics rule related to the location of a user equipment. Where the location satisfies a condition of the location analytics rule, the user equipment can be associated with a compliance status. Compliance, or noncompliance, can initiate further action. Further action can include reporting the compliance status, verifying the identity of a user associated with the user equipment, enforcing the location analytics rule, etc. Enforcing the location analytics rule can include alerts, fines, reporting to an authority figure or agency, etc.

15. A method, comprising:
-
receiving, by a system comprising a processor, timed fingerprint location information associated with a user equipment; determining a location of the user equipment based on a first timing measurement associated with the user equipment, a second timing measurement associated with the user equipment, and stored timed fingerprint location information, wherein the stored timed fingerprint location information is based on a first differential timing measurement for a NodeB site pair comprising a first NodeB device and a second NodeB device and a second differential timing measurement for another NodeB site pair comprising a third NodeB device and a fourth NodeB device, wherein the first differential timing measurement is correlated to a first hyperbolic region and the second differential timing measurement is correlated to a second hyperbolic region determined before the stored timed fingerprint location information is stored, and wherein an overlap of the first and second hyperbolic regions based on the first and second device timing measurements facilitates determining location information without redetermining the first and second hyperbolic regions; and determining, by the system, compliance with a compliance metric of a location analytics rule based on the timed fingerprint location information. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)

19. A computer readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution, cause a system comprising a processor to perform operations, comprising:
-
receiving timed fingerprint location information associated with a user equipment from a timed fingerprint location information store, wherein the timed fingerprint location information is based on a first differential timing measurement for a NodeB site pair comprising a first NodeB device and a second NodeB device and a second differential timing measurement for another NodeB site pair comprising a third NodeB device and a fourth NodeB device, wherein the first differential timing measurement is correlated to a first hyperbola shaped region determined before the timed fingerprint location information is stored, the second differential timing measurement is correlated to a second hyperbola shaped region determined before the timed fingerprint location information is stored, and an overlap between the first and second hyperbola shaped region is related to location information, and wherein the first and second differential timing measurements and the first and second hyperbola shaped regions comprise the timed fingerprint location information stored to facilitate later access to the location information without recomputation of the first and second hyperbola shaped regions; processing the timed fingerprint location information to determine a compliance with a location analytics rule based on a location of the user equipment determined from timing information associated with the user equipment and the timed fingerprint location information; designating a status value based on the determining the compliance with the location analytics rule; and facilitating access to the status value by a component configured to enforce the compliance by way of an enforcement protocol. - View Dependent Claims (20)
