Systems and methods for mapping IP-addresses to geolocations

摘要

A computer-implemented method that includes receiving a location from a location aware access device and an IP address of a network device to which the location aware access device is connected, receiving a request that includes the IP address of the network device from a location unaware access device that is connected to the network device, determining a geographic location for the location unaware access device based on the IP address of the network device and the location received from the location aware access device, selecting information responsive to the request from the location unaware access device based at least in part on the geographic location, and providing the selected information to the location unaware access device.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method for receiving targeted content at location unaware access devices, the method comprising:
transmitting a first communication, by a location aware access device via a network device having an IP address, wherein the location aware access device is connected to the network device according to a local area network (LAN) IP address of the location aware access device and wherein the first communication includes the IP address of the network device and a geographic location of the location aware access device; transmitting a second communication, by a location unaware access device via the network device, wherein the location unaware access device is connected to the network device according to a LAN IP address of the location unaware access device and wherein the second communication includes the same IP address of the network device; and receiving, at the location unaware access device from a content provider, content targeted for a geographic area selected based on the geographic location transmitted by the location aware access device.
