HUMAN MOBILITY RULE-BASED DEVICE LOCATION TRACKING

摘要

Techniques are presented herein to provide human mobility pattern based modeling and tracking of a group of network enabled user devices associated with the same person. An association is made, at a tracking device, between a plurality of user devices and a user. Location information for each of the plurality of user devices is derived through network activity of the plurality of user devices. Locations for the plurality of user devices are derived from the location information. One or more predetermined user mobility pattern rules are applied to the plurality of user devices. User anomalies are detected when the tracked locations indicate that one or more of the plurality of user devices has violated one or more the predetermined user mobility rules.

1. A method comprising:
associating, at a tracking device, a plurality of network enabled user devices with a user; deriving location information for each of the plurality of network enabled user devices from activity of the plurality of network enabled user devices on a network; tracking locations for the plurality of network enabled user devices from the location information; applying a user mobility pattern rule to tracked locations of the plurality of network enabled user devices, wherein the user mobility pattern rule requires that two or more of the plurality of network enabled user devices move in the same direction when the two or more of the plurality of network enabled user devices change location at the same time; and detecting a user anomaly when the tracked locations indicate that a first of the plurality of network enabled user devices and a second of the plurality of network enabled user devices move in different directions when changing location at the same time.
