Abstract
Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with importing proximity data are provided. Device identification information and device location information associated with a device are received from a data source. An estimated proximity of the device to one or more network zones is determined based at least in part on the device location information. A device identifier and the estimated proximity of the device are stored in a proximity database that stores proximity data for devices relative to one or more network zones.
Claims15
An apparatus, comprising:
- an import logic to receive device identification information and device location information associated with a device from a device location data source;
- a weighting logic to determine an estimated proximity of the device to the one or more network zones in the network, the estimated proximity being determined based at least in part on the device location information and a location of the one or more network zones;
- and
- an update logic to store the device identification information and the determined estimated proximity with respect to the one or more network zones in a proximity database that stores proximity data for devices relative to one or more network zones.
Logic encoded in one or more tangible media for execution, the logic being operable, when executed, to perform an encoded method, the encoded method comprising:
- receiving device identification information and device location information associated with a device from a data source;
- determining an estimated proximity of the device to one or more network zones based at least in part on the device location information;
- storing a device identifier associated with the device identification information and the estimated proximity of the device in a proximity database that stores proximity data for devices relative to one or more network zones.
A system, comprising:
- means for importing device identification and location information for a network device from a location data source;
- means for determining zone geographic location for one or more network zones;
- means for determining an estimated proximity for the network device based at least in part on the device location information and the zone geographic location;
- and
- means for storing a device identifier and a corresponding estimated proximity in a proximity database.
