Abstract
The subject matter disclosed herein relates to a system and method for identification of points of interest within a predefined area. Location estimates for substantially stationary mobile devices may be utilized to determine locations of one or more points of interest. Location estimates for mobile devices in motion may be utilized to determine locations of one or more corridors.
Claims88
A method, comprising:
- accessing one or more location estimates for one or more mobile devices within a predefined area;
- correlating the one or more location estimates in time and space to determine a set of location estimates associated with one or more substantially stationary mobile devices;
- identifying, by a processor, one or more points of interest within the predefined area based at least in part on the set of location estimates;
- and
- storing information relating to the one or more points of interest in a memory.
