Systems and methods for reduced energy randomized location detection

A method for determining a device location implemented on a computer device comprising at least one processor in communication with at least one memory device, wherein the method comprises:

• receiving a plurality of wireless signals from a plurality of sources;
• determining a signal strength for each wireless signal of the plurality of wireless signals;
• selecting one or more wireless signals of the plurality of wireless signals based upon a comparison of signal strengths;
• randomly selecting one or more additional wireless signals of the remaining plurality of wireless signals;
• and
• determining a location of the computer device based upon the one or more wireless signals and the one or more additional wireless signals.

At least one non-transitory computer-readable storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon, when executed by at least one processor, the computer-executable instructions may cause the processor to:

• receive a plurality of wireless signals from a plurality of sources;
• determine a signal strength for each wireless signal of the plurality of wireless signals;
• select one or more wireless signals of the plurality of wireless signals based upon a comparison of signal strengths;
• randomly select one or more additional wireless signals of the remaining plurality of wireless signals;
• and
• determine a location of the processor based upon the one or more wireless signals and the one or more additional wireless signals.
