Location based user behavior analysis and applications

This invention describes a way to create a profile of a mobile phone user by persistently sensing spatial information from their device to automatically track where they stay over time. Without any manual input from the user, it uses details like how long they stay, how often they visit, or when they arrive at these locations to build a picture of their habits and current situation.

Why it matters: Filed before modern smartphone battery life and operating system APIs made persistent background location sensing practical and efficient. Machine learning advancements also simplify user behavior inference from raw location data.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedSoftware logic, location sensing, data processing
