摘要：An approach for identifying a location of a mobile device is provided. In the approach, location information from a mobile device is received, wherein the location information includes a sampling of location coordinates of the mobile device over a period of time. A processor generates a path, using the sampling of location coordinates of the mobile device over the period of time. A processor compares the path to geographic information system (GIS) data associated with the received location information. A processor determines additional location information based on the path and the GIS data.

主权项：1. A method for identifying a location of a mobile device, the method comprising: receiving location information from a mobile device, wherein the location information includes a sampling of location coordinates of the mobile device over a period of time; generating, by one or more processors, a path, using the sampling of location coordinates of the mobile device over the period of time; comparing, by one or more processors, the path to geographic information system (GIS) data associated with the received location information; determining, by one or more processors, that the path passes through at least one physical barrier, as designated by the GIS data; generating, by one or more processors, a calibration factor, wherein the calibration factor adjusts the GIS data as compared to the path, such that the path does not pass through the physical barriers; determining, by one or more processors, whether the path matches a movement signature associated with the type of activity commonly performed by individuals at the location; and responsive to the path matching the movement signature, the one or more processors determining the location of the mobile device.
