Methods and Systems for Managing Historical Geolocation Data for a Plurality of Mobile Devices

A system comprising:

• at least one physical computing device configured to manage geolocations of a plurality of mobile devices by performing operations including:
• establishing a passive monitoring pattern to be used by a mobile device included within the plurality of mobile devices for tracking a geolocation of the mobile device, the passive monitoring pattern implemented as a combination time/event-based passive monitoring pattern configured to invoke the mobile device to provide geolocation data to the geolocation data management system both in accordance with a predetermined schedule and upon an occurrence of a predetermined triggering event;
• tracking the geolocation of the mobile device as the mobile device traverses a path during a time period, the tracking including
• receiving, in accordance with the established passive monitoring pattern, a plurality of geolocations of the mobile device as the mobile device traverses the path during the time period, and
• generating a plurality of geolocation records for the mobile device, each geolocation record in the plurality of geolocation records including a timestamped coordinate set reported by the mobile device for a different one of the plurality of geolocations of the mobile device as the mobile device traverses the path;
• determining, based on a contiguous subset of geolocation records from the plurality of geolocation records, that the mobile device dwelled at a particular geolocation included within the plurality of geolocations for a time interval of at least a predetermined amount of time during the time period;
• generating, based on the determining that the mobile device dwelled at the particular geolocation for at least the predetermined amount of time, a dwell record for the mobile device including a coordinate set for the particular geolocation and an interval timestamp representative of the time interval;
• and
• presenting, by way of a user interface, a map indicating the path traversed by the mobile device during the time period, the map including a representation of at least one geolocation record included in the plurality of geolocation records and a representation of the dwell record that is visually differentiable from the representation of the at least one geolocation record.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, direct at least one processor of a computing device to manage geolocations of a plurality of mobile devices by performing operations including:

• establishing a passive monitoring pattern to be used by a mobile device included within the plurality of mobile devices for tracking a geolocation of the mobile device, the passive monitoring pattern implemented as a combination time/event-based passive monitoring pattern configured to invoke the mobile device to provide geolocation data to the geolocation data management system both in accordance with a predetermined schedule and upon an occurrence of a predetermined triggering event;
• tracking the geolocation of the mobile device as the mobile device traverses a path during a time period, the tracking including
• receiving, in accordance with the established passive monitoring pattern, a plurality of geolocations of the mobile device as the mobile device traverses the path during the time period, and
