Event tagging for mobile networks
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising;
obtaining location data representing a group of known geographic locations for a mobile device;
obtaining time data representing a group of times that respectively correspond to the known geographic locations of the group of known geographic locations;
obtaining speed data representing a speed of the mobile device at a time of occurrence of a network event associated with the mobile device, wherein the time of occurrence of the network event is not a member of the group of times;
determining a location of the mobile device at the time of occurrence of the network event based on the location data, the time data and the speed data; and
outputting the location of the mobile device as an estimated position of the network event for the time of occurrence.

Abstract
Improved network event tagging for mobile communications is described herein. By way of example, a mobile network can be configured to take periodic geographic positions of a mobile terminal operating within the mobile network. Network events occurring between the periodic geographic positions, otherwise partially unknown in position, can be estimated by referencing topographical information and estimating a route of travel of the mobile device. Estimated speed of the mobile device can be utilized to place the mobile device on a road network, cycling route, pedestrian walkway, or the like, and refine the estimated position of the mobile device at the time of the network event. Such estimates can be refined from traffic information or other real-time travel data. An estimated position of the mobile device can be output as an approximation of the network event to facilitate event modeling for the mobile network.

12. A method, comprising:
-
employing, by a system comprising a processor, known geographic locations for a mobile device, respective times associated with the known geographic locations, and a speed of the mobile device at a time of a network event linked to the mobile device, to determine a supplemental location of the mobile device at the time of the network event, wherein the respective times exclude the time of the network event linked to the mobile device; and outputting, by the system, the supplemental location of the mobile device at the time of the network event as an estimate of a geographic position of the network event. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
-
employing known geographic locations for a mobile device at respective times and a speed of the mobile device at a time of occurrence of a network event associated with the mobile device, to determine an additional location of the mobile device at the time of occurrence of the network event, wherein the respective times of the known geographic locations for the mobile device exclude the time of occurrence of the network event; and outputting the additional location of the mobile device as an estimated geographic position of the network event. - View Dependent Claims (20)
