Abstract: Methods and systems populate a speech signature database with unique speech signatures that are associated with one or more speaker identities and are further associated with one or more mobile stations and/or telephone numbers. Real-time voice signals are compared to the speech signatures in the speech signature database. When a match is found, the mobile station from which the voice signal originated is located in real-time. Further, the associations in the speech signature database are leveraged to find other relevant mobile stations or users and to generate additional associations and to also locate associated users and mobile stations.

Abstract: A technique is disclosed for estimating the location of a wireless terminal at an unknown location in a geographic region. The technique is based on a two-part recognition, the first part being that there are certain optical and acoustic characteristics that are present in some environments while not being present in others, such as lighting flicker and sound reverberation. The second part of the recognition is that a correlation exists between the presence of flicker and reverberation in the vicinity of a wireless terminal and whether the wireless terminal is indoors or not. Under certain environmental conditions, flicker and reverberation are often present indoors but not outdoors. By accounting for flicker and reverberation being detected or not being detected in the vicinity of the wireless terminal, the disclosed technique is able to estimate whether the wireless terminal is indoors, which the technique also uses to improve the location estimate.

Abstract: A technique for estimating the location of a wireless terminal at an unknown location in a geographic region is disclosed. The technique is based on the recognition that there are location-dependent traits of electromagnetic signals. In environments where multiple antennas are radiating the same signal, as in the case of distributed antennas or host-repeater configurations, one or more possible locations of the wireless terminal can be designated as improbable based on i) a measure of the propagation delay of a signal traveling between a) a base station and b) the wireless terminal or an infrastructure antenna, or ii) the maximum distance at which a signal is detectable by the wireless terminal. Additionally, the applicable set of values for the location-dependent traits is selected based on similar criteria.

Abstract: An illustrative geo-temporal analysis system analyzes telecommunications-event records and other records associated with wireless terminals to infer a collaborative relationship between users who do not telecommunicate with each other, based on how precisely a first geo-temporal pattern matches a second geo-temporal pattern. When a collaborative relationship is inferred, the system transmits an indication thereof and a request for an estimated location of the respective wireless terminals.

Abstract: An illustrative behavior analysis system and a corresponding method are designed to analyze telecommunications-event records and other relevant records associated with wireless terminals to infer whether a wireless user's pattern of behavior is substantially similar or even identical to the pattern of behavior of another user, possibly a known actor, A pattern of behavior typically comprises call-related and location attributes over a period of time. Accordingly, the illustrative embodiment infers an identity or a substantial similarity as between two seemingly distinct users of wireless terminals, based on: (i) how precisely a candidate's pattern of behavior matches a pre-defined pattern of behavior, and/or (ii) how precisely a candidate's pattern of behavior matches another candidate's pattern of behavior.
