## Abstract

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for location matching. The method may include tracking, by the user equipment, a plurality of locations of the user equipment, the plurality of locations mapped to a plurality of time values representative of when the user equipment traversed the plurality of locations; determining, by the user equipment, a first location of the user equipment, wherein the determining is based on a first time value received from an interface; providing, by the user equipment, at least one of the determined first location and the received first time value to a database searchable based on the at least one of the determined first location and the received first time value; and receiving, at the user equipment, an indication of whether the database includes one or more items matching the at least one of the determined first location and the received first time value. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also disclosed.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method comprising:
tracking, by the user equipment, a plurality of locations of the user equipment, the plurality of locations mapped to a plurality of time values representative of when the user equipment traversed the plurality of locations;
determining, by the user equipment, a first location of the user equipment, wherein the determining is based on a first time value received from an interface;
providing, by the user equipment, at least one of the determined first location and the received first time value to a database searchable based on the at least one of the determined first location and the received first time value; and
receiving, at the user equipment, an indication of whether the database includes one or more items matching the at least one of the determined first location and the received first time value.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the tracking further comprises:
recording the plurality of locations and the plurality of time values.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1 further comprising:
registering, by the user equipment, to grant permission for the tracking to occur.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1 further comprising:
quering, based on the at least one of the determined first location and the received first time value, the database to search for one or more items stored at the database.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1 further comprising:
generating a page including a description of one or more items matching the at least one of the determined first location and the received first time value.

### Claim 6

A system comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one memory including code, which when executed by the at least one processor provides operations comprising:
tracking, by the user equipment, a plurality of locations of the user equipment, the plurality of locations mapped to a plurality of time values representative of when the user equipment traversed the plurality of locations;
determining, by the user equipment, a first location of the user equipment, wherein the determining is based on a first time value received from an interface;
providing, by the user equipment, at least one of the determined first location and the received first time value to a database searchable based on the at least one of the determined first location and the received first time value; and
receiving, at the user equipment, an indication of whether the database includes one or more items matching the at least one of the determined first location and the received first time value.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The system of claim 6, wherein the tracking further comprises:
recording the plurality of locations and the plurality of time values.

### Claim 8 (depends on 6)

The system of claim 6 further comprising:
registering, by the user equipment, to grant permission for the tracking to occur.

### Claim 9 (depends on 6)

The system of claim 6 further comprising:
quering, based on the at least one of the determined first location and the received first time value, the database to search for one or more items stored at the database.

### Claim 10 (depends on 6)

The system of claim 6 further comprising:
generating a page including a description of one or more items matching the at least one of the determined first location and the received first time value.

### Claim 11

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including code which when executed causes operations comprising:
tracking, by the user equipment, a plurality of locations of the user equipment, the plurality of locations mapped to a plurality of time values representative of when the user equipment traversed the plurality of locations;
determining, by the user equipment, a first location of the user equipment, wherein the determining is based on a first time value received from an interface;
providing, by the user equipment, at least one of the determined first location and the received first time value to a database searchable based on the at least one of the determined first location and the received first time value; and
receiving, at the user equipment, an indication of whether the database includes one or more items matching the at least one of the determined first location and the received first time value.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 11, wherein the tracking further comprises:
recording the plurality of locations and the plurality of time values.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 12 further comprising:
registering, by the user equipment, to grant permission for the tracking to occur.

### Claim 14 (depends on 12)

The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 12 further comprising:
quering, based on the at least one of the determined first location and the received first time value, the database to search for one or more items stored at the database.

### Claim 15 (depends on 12)

The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 12 further comprising:
generating a page including a description of one or more items matching the at least one of the determined first location and the received first time value.
