20150319568 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR GENERATING, DISPLAYING AND IMPLEMENTING A GEO-FENCE USING LOCATION DETERMINATION OF MOBILE DEVICES WITHIN A LOCATION-BASED GROUP - Method of generating, displaying, and implementing geo-fence using location determination of mobile devices (MHSDs) within location-based group starts with server receiving geo-fence information and generating geo-fence based on geo-fence information. Server receives location data and proximity information from MHSDs. Location data received from first MHSD includes first MHSD's location. Proximity information received from first MHSD includes identification of MHSDs within proximity sensitivity radius of first MHSD's location. Server forms subgroup of MHSDs based on proximity information from each MHSD. Subgroup include first MHSD and MHSDs that have provided proximity information that identifies first MHSD are being within proximity sensitivity radiuses of the MHSDs, respectively. Server refines the fixed location of the first MHSD, which includes identifying an intersection of the proximity sensor sensitivity of MHSDs that are in subgroup. Server generates and transmits alert to display device when refined location of first MHSD crosses the geo-fence. Other embodiments are described. | 11-05-2015 |
20150249925 | APPARATUS AND METHOD OF DETERMINING FRAUDULENT USE OF A MOBILE DEVICE BASED ON BEHAVIORAL ABNORMALITY - Method of determining fraudulent use based on behavioral abnormality starts with processor receiving first location data and first proximity information from first mobile device. First proximity information includes identification of mobile devices within proximity sensitivity radius of first mobile device. Processor determines whether first location data and first proximity information are included in historical location data and historical proximity information, respectively, associated with first mobile device. When first location data and first proximity information is not included, processor determines whether subsequent location data and subsequent proximity information received from first mobile device over predetermined period of time is included. Processor signals to monitor fraudulent use of first mobile device when subsequent location data and subsequent proximity information received from first mobile device over predetermined period of time is not included in historical location data and historical proximity information, respectively, associated with first mobile device. Other embodiments are described. | 09-03-2015 |
20150249905 | APPARATUS AND METHOD OF DETERMINING A LIFE CHANGE OF A USER OF A MOBILE DEVICE BASED ON BEHAVIORAL ABNORMALITY - Method of determining user's life change based on behavioral abnormality starts with processor receiving first location data and first proximity information from first mobile device. First proximity information includes identification of mobile devices within proximity sensitivity radius of first mobile device. Processor determines whether first location data and first proximity information are included in historical location data and historical proximity information, respectively, associated with first mobile device. When first location data and first proximity information is not included, processor determines whether subsequent location data and subsequent proximity information received from first mobile device over predetermined time period is included. Processor signals to monitor life change of user of first mobile device when subsequent location data and subsequent proximity information received from first mobile device over predetermined time period is not included in historical location data and historical proximity information, respectively, associated with first mobile device. Other embodiments are described. | 09-03-2015 |
20150133144 | APPARATUS AND METHOD OF PROVIDING CONNECTION SOURCE RECOMMENDATIONS USING A DATABASE OF HISTORIC DATA ON CONNECTIVITY - A method of providing connection source recommendations using a database of historic data on connectivity starts with a processor receiving location and connection information from each mobile device. Location information may identify a location of each mobile device, respectively. Connection information may identify one of the connection sources as a preferred connection source used to identify the location of each mobile device, respectively. Processor may then store, in database, location and connection information. Database may include a plurality of location information and a history of connection information for each location information. When processor determines that mobile device has changed location, processor may transmit to mobile device connection information recommendation based on an analysis of database. Processor may transmit conservation command to each mobile device, respectively, to reduce operation of sensors to connection sources other than the preferred connection source for each mobile device, respectively. Other embodiments are described. | 05-14-2015 |
20150063181 | Apparatus and Method for Conservation of Battery Power of Mobile Devices within a Location-Based Group - A method of conserving battery power of mobile devices within a location-based group starts with server receiving location data and proximity information from each of the mobile devices. Location data received from first mobile device includes the first mobile device's location. Proximity information received from first mobile device includes an identification of mobile devices within a predetermined radius of first mobile device's location. Server identifies based on location data and proximity information a specific location and forms a subgroup of mobile devices that are within a predetermined radius of the specific location. Server queries and receives a level of power associated with each mobile devices in the subgroup and transmits control signals to each mobile devices in the subgroup to shut down radio functions based on the level of power. Other embodiments are also described. | 03-05-2015 |
20150018019 | Apparatus and Method for Increasing Accuracy of Location Determination of Mobile Devices Within a Location-Based Group - A method of increasing accuracy of location determination of mobile devices within a location-based subgroup starts with server receiving location data and proximity information from each of the mobile devices. Location data received from first mobile device includes first mobile device's fixed location. Proximity information received from first mobile device includes an identification of mobile devices within a proximity sensitivity radius of first mobile device's location. Server forms subgroup of mobile devices based on proximity information from each of the mobile devices. Subgroup may include first mobile device and mobile devices that have provided proximity information that identifies first mobile device are being within the proximity sensitivity radiuses of the mobile devices, respectively. Server may then refine the fixed location of the first mobile device, which includes identifying an intersection of the proximity sensor sensitivity of each of the mobile devices that are in subgroup. Other embodiments are described. | 01-15-2015 |
