Abstract
In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a system for smart location determination includes a session information accessor to access session information that details a session of a user system as it connects to a web technology server. The system includes a knowledge base that includes known common session information of multiple geographic locations. The system includes a session information comparator to compare the accessed session information to the knowledge base, and based on the comparison, determine a geographic location of the user system or verify an alleged geographic location.
Claims15
A system for smart location determination, the system comprising:
- a session information accessor to access session information that details a session of a user system as it connects to a web technology server;
- a knowledge base that includes known common session information of multiple geographic locations;
- and
- a session information comparator to compare the accessed session information to the knowledge base, and based on the comparison, determine a geographic location of the user system or verify an alleged geographic location.
A method for smart location determination, the method comprising:
- receiving a request from a user system to access a web technology;
- extracting session information from the request that details a session of the user system as it sends the request;
- sending the session information to a smart system to compare the session information to known common session information of multiple geographic locations;
- and
- receiving, from the smart system, based on the comparison, a geographic location of the user system or a verification of an alleged geographic location.
A machine-readable storage medium encoded with instructions for smart location determination, the instructions executable by a processor of a system to cause the system to:
- access session information that details a session of a user system as it connects to a web technology server;
- access or determine an allege geographic location related to an alleged IP address of the user system;
- access a knowledge base that includes known common session information of multiple geographic locations;
- compare the accessed session information to the knowledge base, and based on the comparison, determine a geographic location of the user system;
- and
- determine that the geographic location is different than the alleged geographic location, and based on this, determine that a proxy was used to generate the alleged IP address.
