Abstract:
Disclosed in various examples are methods, systems, devices, and machine-readable mediums for tracking device and access point geographic locations of wireless (e.g., Wi-Fi) networks. In an example, operations performed by a device for association and use of a location include: receiving identification information (e.g., a MAC address) that identifies an access point of a wireless network; comparing the identification information with a list of access points (e.g., a white list) to identify an unvalidated status of the access point; communicating the identification information to the communications service; receiving a validated status for the access point and a geographic location for the wireless network from the communications service; and perforating a communication action with the communication service, using the wireless network, based on the geographic location and the validated status. Further operations involving evaluating the access point status and updating the list of access points, are also disclosed.

Claim (Index 17):
A device for adapted for association and use of a geographic network location tracked by a communications service, the device comprising:\n means for receiving, from a wireless network, access point identification information that identifies an access point of the wireless network; means for comparing the access point identification information with a white list, to identify an unvalidated status of the access point of the wireless network, wherein the white list includes identification information of at least one validated access point; means for communicating, to a network communications service, the access point identification information; means for receiving, from the network communications service, an indication of a validated status for the access point and geographic location information for the wireless network, wherein the geographic location information is associated with the access point identification information at the network communications service; and means for performing a communication action in the network communications service, using the wireless network, in response to receiving the indication of the validated status and the indication of the geographic location information, wherein the communication action includes transmitting the geographic location information for the wireless network from the device to a communication destination via the network communications service, wherein the geographic location information is used to conduct a communication session between the device and the communication destination.
