Method and apparatus for geolocation of a network user

A method for determining a geographic location, comprising:

• receiving, by a server machine from a client machine through a communications network, geographic locations that are each associated with the same communications network identifier;
• storing, by the server machine in a non-transitory memory system, the geographic locations;
• storing, by the server machine in a non-transitory memory system, the communications network identifier;
• correlating, by the server machine, the stored geographic locations with the stored communications network identifier to generate predictive data identifying a predicted geographic location for the communications network identifier based on the stored geographic locations;
• and
• storing, by the server machine in a non-transitory memory system, the predictive data.

A computer-implemented method performed by a computer system having an operatively interconnected processor, memory and communications interface, the method comprising:

• receiving, from a user device through a communications network via the communications interface, geographic locations that are each associated with the same communications network identifier;
• storing the geographic locations in the memory of the computer system;
• storing the communications network identifier in the memory of the computer system;
• operating the processor of the computer system to correlate the stored geographic locations with the stored communications network identifier to generate predictive data identifying a predicted geographic location for the communications network identifier based on the stored geographic locations;
• and
• storing the predictive data in the memory.
