Venkateswaran S. Ayalur has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9002377
    Abstract: A method for improving discovery of preferred mobile computing locations includes monitoring sensor data corresponding to a mobile computing device (MCD) and monitoring non-GPS network data implemented by the mobile computing device. Additionally, the method determines whether sensor data and non-GPS network data indicate that the mobile computing device is stationary within a cell site as well as scanning any network that the mobile computing device is electronically linked to. In short, the method discovers an improved preferred mobile computing location based on the sensor data and non-GPS network data that provide reliable information that the mobile computing device is stationary within the cell site. The sensor data and non-GPS network data are converged when several corresponding scans produce overlapping results.

  • Publication number: 20120289186
    Abstract: A method for discovering preferred mobile computing locations includes monitoring amount of time a mobile computing device is located within a cell tower region; and monitoring amount of time a mobile computing device is located within a Wi-Fi region. Afterwards, the method collects mobile computing device location data corresponding to the monitoring of cell tower region and Wi-Fi region; and analyzes the mobile computing device location data to determine amount of time and frequency of visits that the mobile computing device is in the cell tower and Wi-Fi regions. The above steps can be controlled via a processor within the mobile computing device such that a preferred mobile communication location is discovered for a user of the mobile computing device.
