Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for processing mobile device location data, the method comprising: collecting location data associated with a mobile device, the location data comprising location coordinates and time stamps respectively associated with the location coordinates; filtering location data based on age and at least one of accuracy and precision of the location coordinates; partitioning the location data based on the location coordinates into a plurality of clusters comprising a plurality of location data instances; filtering the plurality of clusters based on a number of data instances in a particular cluster and a period of time over which data instances of the particular data cluster are generated as indicated by respective time stamps of the data instances; determining a distance from a location coordinate corresponding to the data instances of at least a first one of the plurality of clusters to a particular predetermined location; and correlating the at least the first one of the plurality of clusters with the particular predetermined location in response to the distance being less than a predetermined distance.
