  • Patent number: 10419949
    Abstract: A computing device forms a predictive composite score by retrieving geographically based wireless networking performance data derived from at least one mobile device. At least some of the geographically based wireless networking performance data is temporally averaged and geostatistically combined to form the predictive composite score. The predictive composite score is a forecast of expected performance quality of a wireless communication network in a particular geographic region.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9886937
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a computer implemented method and component defining a plurality of data structures, each data structure having a plurality of data elements. The method and component associate the plurality of data structures with a geographic area wherein each data structure of the plurality corresponds to its own unique sub-part of the geographic area. Each data structure of the plurality is rendered as a corresponding one of a plurality of adjacent, non-overlapping, mathematically regular hexagonal shapes. Each data structure is configured for programmatic loading of the plurality of data elements and display characteristics of each hexagon are specified based on data stored in the data elements of the data structure corresponding to each hexagon.
