SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETERMINING DEVICE LOCATION USING WIRELESS DATA AND OTHER GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION DATA
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for determining device location of a user device within a venue, the method implemented using a wireless positioning system including a processor and a memory, the method comprising:
- identifying a plurality of signal sample sets, wherein each signal sample set includes a sample location within the venue and one or more wireless signal strengths of associated wireless access points positioned at the venue, wherein the sample location is determined based at least in part on location data associated with a corresponding payment card transaction within the venue;
receiving one or more subject wireless signal strength samples of the wireless access points captured by the user device at an unidentified location within the venue;
determining, by the processor, a subject location of the user device within the venue based at least in part on the plurality of signal sample sets and the one or more subject wireless signal strength samples; and
providing the subject location of the user device within the venue.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method for determining device location of a user device within a venue using a wireless positioning system is provided. The method includes identifying a plurality of signal sample sets, wherein each signal sample set includes a sample location within the venue and one or more wireless signal strengths of associated wireless access points positioned at the venue, wherein the sample location is determined based on location data associated with a corresponding payment card transaction within the venue. The method also includes receiving a subject wireless signal strength sample of the wireless access points captured by the user device at an unidentified location within the venue. The method further includes determining a subject location of the user device based on the plurality of signal sample sets and the one or more subject wireless signal strength samples, and providing the subject location of the user device within the venue.
