System and method for automated analysis comparing a wireless device location with another geographic location
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- obtaining, from a database associated with a wireless network, a location of a wireless device;
obtaining, from a data network exclusive of the wireless network, a location of a second device with which a user associated with the wireless device is interacting;
obtaining, based on the obtained location of the second device, a location of the user;
converting the location of the wireless device and the location of the user into a common location format;
comparing the location of the wireless device and the location of the user to determine proximity of the location of the wireless device to the location of the user; and
sending a result of the comparison of the location of the wireless device and the location of the user to a processing system.

Abstract
A system and method for automatically comparing obtained wireless device location information from a wireless network and comparing that location with another independent source geographic location is provided. Location information is derived from two or more sources in a multiplicity of ways and a comparison is made within a Location Comparison Engine. The Location Comparison Engine makes use of databases that assist in resolving obtained raw positioning information and converting that positioning information into one or more formats for adequate location comparison. Results of the location comparison are deduced to determine if the wireless device is in some proximity to some other activity source location. Other location information used for comparison may be obtained from a multiplicity of sources, such as another network based on some activity of the wireless device user, another wireless device via a wireless network, or any system capable of providing location information to the Location Comparison Engine.
