Abstract:
A method for analyzing data within a personal information management program, comprising:receiving from a wireless device measured records indicating time information and position coordinates; processing the received measured records to determine measured records whose position coordinates are within a defined geographic boundary. wherein a database includes a plurality of the defined geographic boundaries each including a different set of position coordinates; generating a position record in the database indicating a time period that spans the time periods indicated in the determined measured records and including event information indicating the defined geographic boundary that includes the position coordinates of the determined measured records; determining an activity associated with a plurality of measured records having consecutive time periods that are not used to generate the position record whose event information indicates the defined geographic boundary; generating a position record in the database indicating a time period that spans time periods in measured position records associated with the determined activity and including event information indicating the determined activity; querying the database to determine position records for one user that satisfy at least one search criteria; and generating information characterizing data in the determined position records.
