Address Point Data Mining

摘要

Techniques for address point data mining are described. An address point data mining method, system, or program product can determine geographic coordinates of an address based on geographic locations of one or more user devices. Each user device can be a mobile device operable to determine a location using a global navigation system (e.g., GPS), wireless signal triangulation, or other techniques. During the course of a time period (e.g., a day or week), the user device can stay at a location for a significant amount of time. The system can crosscheck this location with a geocoded geographic coordinates of a registered address (e.g., a billing address) that is associated with the mobile device. The system can determine whether the geocoded geographic coordinates are accurate based on result of the crosscheck.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
determining a significant location of a mobile device, the significant location including a geographic location at which the mobile device has stayed for at least a threshold amount of time; determining, based on account information of a user of the mobile device, a registered address and assumed geographic coordinates of the registered address; determining whether a distance between the significant location and the assumed geographic coordinates satisfies a match threshold distance; and upon determining that the distance satisfies the match threshold, designating the assumed geographic coordinates as confirmed geographic coordinates to be associated with the registered address, wherein the method is performed by one or more computing devices.
