Monitoring movement transitions via cellular network data

A server computer comprising:

• a processor;
• a communication interface;
• and
• a computer readable medium coupled with the processor, the computer readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon that are executable by the processor to cause a computing device to perform operations comprising:
• receiving, from one or more server computers associated with one or more cellular network operators, cellular network data including a plurality of device identifiers, and geographic coordinates and time information of one or more border crossing by the plurality of device identifiers between a plurality of cells in a cellular network;
• for each device identifier of the plurality of device identifiers, determining a speed of movement of a device associated with each device identifier of the plurality of device identifiers based on the geographic coordinates and time information of one or more border crossing by the plurality of device identifiers between the plurality of cells in the cellular network;
• determining, based on the speed of movement of each device associated with each device identifier of the plurality of device identifiers, that a movement transition for one or more devices associated with one or more device identifiers has occurred between a first movement category of driving and a second movement category of walking, or a first movement category of walking and a second movement category of driving;
• determining whether a location of the movement transition for each of the one or more devices associated with the one or more device identifiers is near one or more parking spaces;
• determining that one or more parking spaces is vacant based on a movement transition of one or more devices associated with the one or more identifiers near the one or more parking spaces occurring between a first movement category of walking and a second movement category of driving;
• determining that one or more parking spaces is occupied based on a movement transition of one or more devices associated with the one or more identifiers near the one or more parking spaces occurring between a first movement category of driving and a second movement category of walking;
• storing data indicating a status of vacant or occupied for the one or more parking spaces;
• receiving a request from a third party server for parking data associated with a specified location;
• and
• sending the parking data including the status of vacant or occupied for one or more parking spaces for the specified location to the third party server.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon that are executable by at least one processor to cause a computing device to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, from one or more server computers associated with one or more cellular network operators, cellular network data including a plurality of device identifiers, and geographic coordinates and time information of one or more border crossing by the plurality of device identifiers between a plurality of cells in a cellular network;
• for each device identifier of the plurality of device identifiers, determining a speed of movement of a device associated with each device identifier of the plurality of device identifiers based on the geographic coordinates and time information of one or more border crossing by the plurality of device identifiers between the plurality of cells in the cellular network;
• determining, based on the speed of movement of each device associated with each device identifier of the plurality of device identifiers, that a movement transition for one or more devices associated with one or more device identifiers has occurred between a first movement category of driving and a second movement category of walking, or a first movement category of walking and a second movement category of driving;
• determining whether a location of the movement transition for each of the one or more devices associated with the one or more device identifiers is near one or more parking spaces;
• determining that one or more parking spaces is vacant based on a movement transition of one or more devices associated with the one or more identifiers near the one or more parking spaces occurring between a first movement category of walking and a second movement category of driving;
• determining that one or more parking spaces is occupied based on a movement transition of one or more devices associated with the one or more identifiers near the one or more parking spaces occurring between a first movement category of driving and a second movement category of walking;
• storing data indicating a status of vacant or occupied for the one or more parking spaces;
• receiving a request from a third party server for parking data associated with a specified location;
• and
• sending the parking data including the status of vacant or occupied for one or more parking spaces for the specified location to the third party server.
