Systems and methods for providing geolocation services
First Claim
1. A system for providing geolocation services in a mobile-based crowdsourcing platform, the system comprising:
- a mobile device for user input and interaction; and
a server configured to communicate with and exchange data with the mobile device, the server comprising a processor coupled to a memory containing instructions executable by the processor to cause the server to;
receive user data from the mobile device, the user data associated with at least one of a location of the user and movement of the user within an environment over a period of time, wherein the user data associated with at least one of user location and user movement is data captured by one or more sensors of the mobile device, the one or more sensors are configured to capture data related to at least one of motion or position of the mobile device, signals transmitted from or to the mobile device, and direct user input with the mobile device; and
determine a location of a vehicle associated with the user based on the user data.

Abstract
The present invention provides a system for providing geolocation services in a mobile-based crowdsourcing platform. The system includes a plurality of remote mobile devices configured to communicate and exchange data with a geolocation service based on the crowdsourcing, or polling, of users of such mobile devices to determine location and movement of the users within a specific environment. For example, in an outdoor environment such as a parking lot, the system can track the location of a user'"'"'s vehicle within the lot and provide the user with an exact position of their vehicle upon the user returning to the parking lot. In the instance of an indoor environment, such as an airport, the system provides a messaging/location alert service for persons within the airport, where any given person'"'"'s location within the airport can be determined and correlated with an impending departure of a flight for which they are associated.
