Abstract

In embodiments of the present invention methods and systems are described for associating a mobile subscriber characteristic with a mobile communication facility for identifying a location of the mobile communication facility and creating a map that includes the location of the mobile subscriber characteristic based at least in part on the location of the mobile communication facility with which it is associated.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

associating a mobile subscriber characteristic with a mobile communication facility;

identifying a location of the mobile communication facility; and

creating a map that includes the location of the mobile subscriber characteristic based at least in part on the location of the mobile communication facility with which it is associated.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the location is a previous location.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the location is a current location.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the location is determined according to location coordinates of a particular mobile communication facility.

5. The method of claim 4 wherein the location coordinates are determined through GPS.

6. The method of claim 4 wherein the location coordinates are determined through triangulation.
