METHODS FOR PROFILING CELLULAR NETWORK TOWERS AND LOCATING MOBILE COMMUNICATION DEVICE, AND TOOLS THEREFROM

摘要

The invention provides a method of profiling a plurality of cellular network towers by identifying a sequence of cellular network towers in a geographical area using a mobile communication device and mapping the sequence with a geographic profile. Thus, a library of a sequence of cellular network towers that is in contact with a mobile communication device at different locations is made available. The invention also provides for locating a mobile communication device based on the unique identifier of the cellular network tower in contact with the mobile communication device. The invention also provides tools for the methods of the invention.
