Patent number: 9571962Abstract: A system and method are provided for associating location data from one or more unique sources. The place and time of a unique location enabled device are associated with stored demographic information relating to the particular place and particular time. The place and time of the unique location enabled device are associated with a historical record of past locations and time of locations that the device has been. Based on the association of demographical information and historical information, the unique location enable device is assigned to one or more groups or tribes. The location of all members of the group or tribe can be aggregated and exported for further analysis or display, thereby showing all group or tribe members at a particular time and place.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2015Date of Patent: February 14, 2017Assignee: Yellowpages.com LLCInventors: Greg Skibiski, Alex Sandy Pentland, Tony Jabara, Christine Lemke, Markus Loecher, Girish Rao, Jason Uechi, Blake Shaw, Joseph Mattiello

Patent number: 8620624Abstract: A method of detecting an event anomaly includes receiving one or more data points, in which each data point represents a spatial or temporal event; associating a unique identifier with each of the one or more data points to obtain one or more individualized data points; distributing the one or more individualized data points across a grid, in which the grid includes one or more cells; determining an event likelihood ratio for one or more of the grid cells; identifying one or more event clusters, in which each event cluster includes one or more of the grid cells; and storing in a data repository an event cluster having a significance level above a threshold significance level.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2008Date of Patent: December 31, 2013Assignee: Sense Networks, Inc.Inventors: Greg Skibiski, Alex (Sandy) Pentland, Tony Jebara, Christine Lemke, Markus Loecher, Girish Rao, Jason Uechi, Blake Shaw, Joseph Mattiello, David Rosenberg

Patent number: 8224766Abstract: Systems and computer-implemented methods are provided for comparing, associating and deriving associations between two or more spatial temporal data trails. One or more spatial-temporal data trails comprising one or more places are received at a processor. Each place is identified by a spatial temporal data point. And each spatial-temporal data trail is associated with an individual. The similarity between pairs of places is determined to establish one or more groups of places or one or more groups of individuals. Similarity and/groups can be determined based on demographics associated with the place or individual.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2008Date of Patent: July 17, 2012Assignee: Sense Networks, Inc.Inventors: Greg Skibiski, Alex (Sandy) Pentland, Tony Jebara, Christine Lemke, Markus Loecher, Girish Rao, Jason Uechi, Blake Shaw, Joseph Mattiello, David Rosenberg
