Abstract:
1. A method for determining a probability for a particular geo-fence in a wireless network, comprising: receiving, via a processor, a mobile identification for a mobile user endpoint device, a location record for the mobile user endpoint device, and an accuracy level associated with the location record of the mobile user endpoint device; identifying, via the processor, a bin in a database of record, using the location record that is received for the mobile user endpoint device; identifying, via the processor, one or more geo-fences in which the bin is located using the bin that is identified as an index; identifying, via the processor, one or more geo-fences that are pre-associated with the mobile user endpoint device, using the mobile identification; determining, via the processor, an intersection of: the one or more geo-fences that are identified as being pre-associated with the user endpoint device, and the one or more geo-fences that are identified as being geo-fences in which the bin is located; and determining, via the processor, for each particular geo-fence in the intersection that is determined, the probability of being in the particular geo-fence, wherein the probability of being in the particular geo-fence is determined in accordance with the accuracy level associated with the location record of the mobile user endpoint device.
