Abstract:

Location position information of a mobile device utilizing Wi-Fi, FM, AM, television transmissions(s), other radio transmission(s), electromagnetic, acoustic, or other signals received from base stations or access points. The position information can be provided through a Web service and/or locally on a mobile user device. The position information can be provided with a certainty and/or uncertainty probability percentage or other perceivable means for the user to determine the expected accuracy of the location information. Also provided is a means for updating base station information to include newly detected base stations through information from a plurality of user devices, wherein each user device is given a reliance factor. User devices that have a low reliance factor are disregarded and/or scrutinized to determine accuracy prior to such information being utilized to update information. Functioning of the system can be improved through analysis of usage data and/or the additions to the database.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

Abstract:

A geocoding architecture that generates and associates one or more tile documents with geocoded tiles. When connected entities are defined, the connected entity attributes are collected in a single tile document so that tile-document terms are attributes of all connected entities. These terms later serve as keys that enable search for tiles relevant for a given query. Entity documents are created that are an aggregation of entity attributes. Like the entity document, the tile document serves as an aggregator for all the geospatial entities within a pre-determined surface area. Search is then performed on the content of tile and entity documents.
