Patent number: 10285011Abstract: An example system includes a location signature engine to determine a location signature based on a location of a user. The system also includes a signature comparison engine to determine whether the location signature matches a known signature. The system also includes a location determination engine to prompt the user for the location of the user based on the location signature not matching the known signature. The location determination engine also is to determine whether a user indication of the location is accurate.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2016Date of Patent: May 7, 2019Assignee: Hewett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Robert C Brooks, Isaac Lagnado, Robin Castell
