Mobile device inference and location prediction of a moving object of interest

A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program code embodied therewith, the program code executable by a computing device to:

• receive a first set of data indicating that an object of interest has been identified;
• receive a second set of data indicating a first location of where the object of interest was identified, the first location corresponding to a geographical area;
• store the second set of data to a data store, the stored second set of data for use at least for generating an estimate of where an object of interest will move at a later time;
• associate the first location with a first transceiver base station, wherein the first transceiver base station is in the first location;
• obtain, in response to the associating, a first list of one or more mobile devices that are within an active range of the first transceiver base station, wherein the active range corresponds to a signal strength between the one or more mobile devices and the first transceiver base station that exceeds a threshold;
• receive a third set of data indicating that the object of interest was identified at a second location;
• associate, in response to the receiving of the third set of data, the second location with a second transceiver base station;
• obtain, in response to the associating the second location with a second transceiver base station, a second list of one or more mobile devices within an active range of the second base transceiver station;
• and
• determine which mobile device identifiers associated with the first transceiver base station are in common with the mobile device identifiers associated with the second transceiver base station, wherein the mobile device identifiers correspond to the first list and the second list of one or more mobile devices.
