Abstract
Systems and methods for geolocating an Access Point (AP) based on network identifiers and external data sources includes caching the AP's location by associating it with one or more network identifiers, deriving an egress IP address of the AP from an external tool or service, and generating a unique key based on the egress IP address. The unique key can be used to geolocate the AP. Such systems and methods can be incorporated with location based services.
Claims20
A method comprising steps of:
- caching a location of an Access Point (AP) based on one or more network identifiers of the AP;
- deriving an egress Internet Protocol (IP) address of the AP from one of an external tool or service;
- determining a unique key based on the egress IP address;
- and
- identifying a geolocation of the AP based on the unique key.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors to perform steps of:
- caching a location of an Access Point (AP) based on one or more network identifiers of the AP;
- deriving, at an instant, an egress Internet Protocol (IP)address of the AP from one of an external tool or service;
- determining a unique key based on the egress IP address;
- and
- identifying a geolocation of the AP based on the unique key.
