Determining a base location of a user associated with a mobile device
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- determining, by a system comprising a processor, respective frequencies of respective communications of a device associated with a subscriber identity with respective base station devices associated with a communication network over a defined time period, based on activity data associated with the respective communications of the device with the respective base station devices, wherein the respective base station devices comprise a first base station device and second base station devices other than the first base station device, and wherein the respective frequencies comprise a first frequency associated with the first base station device and second frequencies other than the first frequency that are associated with the second base station devices; and
determining, by the system, a defined base location associated with the subscriber identity, based on the first frequency of the respective communications of the device with the first base station device relative to the second frequencies of the respective communications of the device with the second base station devices, over the defined time period, and further based on address data relating to the subscriber identity and a distance parameter usable to facilitate evaluating the address data.

Abstract
A base location associated with a user of a communication device can be determined. A location identifier component can determine the base location, such as a home location, of the user based on activity data and/or other data, wherein the activity data can be obtained from base stations with which the user'"'"'s communication device communicates during a defined time period. The location identifier component can designate a defined area as the base location, wherein the defined area can be associated with the base station with which the communication device most frequently communicates during the defined time period or can be an area that is determined based on the activity data and the other data, in accordance with a defined location algorithm. To facilitate maintaining the privacy of users, the activity data can be anonymized and/or the granularity of defining the base location can be adjusted.

11. A system, comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising; determining respective levels of respective communications of a device associated with a user identity with respective base station devices associated with a communication network over a defined time period, based on activity data associated with the respective communications of the device with the respective base station devices; and determining a defined base location associated with the user identity based on a level, of the respective levels, of the respective communications of the device with a base station device of the respective base station devices relative to other levels, of the respective levels other than the level, of the respective communications of the device with other base station devices of the respective base station devices other than the base station device, over the defined time period, and further based on address-related information associated with the user identity and a distance parameter that is applicable with respect to the address-related information. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
-
determining respective frequencies of respective communications of a device associated with a user identity with respective base station devices associated with a communication network over a defined time period, based on activity data associated with the respective communications of the device with the respective base station devices; and identifying a defined base location associated with the user identity, based on a frequency, of the respective frequencies, of a first portion of the respective communications of the device with a base station device of the respective base station devices relative to a group of the respective frequencies not comprising the frequency of a second portion of the respective communications of the device with a group of the respective base station devices not comprising the base station device, over the defined time period, based on address-related data associated with a defined geographical area that is associated with the user identity, and based on a distance value that is applicable to the address-related data. - View Dependent Claims (20)
