Publication number: 20160316337Abstract: An Aggregate Location Dynometer (ALD) in a physical wireless network alerts to a problematic crowd risk using location based services (LBS). An Aggregate Location Dynometer (ALD) comprises a Network Monitor, a Crowd Risk Determinant and an Alert Module. The Network Monitor monitors wireless traffic for a potential viral event, associated with a formation of a plurality of wireless devices. The Crowd Risk Determinant requests location information associated with a plurality of wireless devices in a given area regarding a respective viral event. The Crowd Risk Determinant determines if the viral event also indicates a crowd safety risk, based on the shape and movement of observed wireless devices. The Alert Module triggers an alert of an impending crowd problem when crowd risk is above a given threshold. Historical databases are empirically determined and maintained in the Aggregate Location Dynometer (ALD) for use in viral event and crowd risk assessment.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 7, 2016Publication date: October 27, 2016Inventors: MICHAEL A. CUFF, TODD GEHRKE, FARHAD KASAD

Patent number: 9467810Abstract: Location based geo-reminding system retrieves, from a location based geo-reminder physical server, a current location of wireless client devices within a given area. The method accesses, from the location based geo-reminder physical server, a physical location based geo-reminder database comprising an identity of a trigger identifier and a limits of trigger identifier. Transmission of a location based geo-reminder message is initiated if the current location of a particular wireless client device is within a limits of restriction distance from a location of the identity of the trigger.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2014Date of Patent: October 11, 2016Assignee: Telecommunication Systems, Inc.Inventors: Todd Gehrke, Chih Wang, Sarah Lawrence
