Patent ID: 8756010

Claim:
A method, comprising: accessing one or more location estimates for one or more mobile devices within a predefined area, wherein the one or more location estimates are associated with one or more time stamps; correlating the one or more location estimates in time and space to determine a set of location estimates associated with one or more substantially stationary mobile devices; identifying, by a processor, one or more points of interest within the predefined area based at least in part on the set of location estimates; storing information descriptive of the one or more points of interest in a memory; determining a distance between a first location estimate for a particular mobile device for an individual associated with a first time stamp and a second location estimate associated with a second time stamp, and determining whether the distance exceeds a predefined minimum threshold distance; and determining that the particular mobile device was substantially stationary in response to the distance not exceeding the predefined minimum threshold distance.
