Embodiment Construction

[0016] As briefly described above, fine-grained location information for users in a networked computing environment can be determined based on confidence metrics. In the following detailed description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings which form a part hereof, and which show by way of illustration various embodiments or examples. These aspects may be combined, other aspects may be utilized, and structural changes may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Accordingly, the following detailed description is not intended to be limiting, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.

[0017] Although the embodiments are described in the general context of program modules executed in conjunction with application programs running on an operating system on a personal computer, those skilled in the art will recognize that aspects may also be implemented in conjunction with other program modules.

Abstract

Location of a communication network subscriber is determined employing confidence metrics such as remote vs. local computer usage, primary user in a multi-user computing environment, likelihood of forgery, and comparable ones. A fine-grained location determination is then made based on the metric results and directory information for the particular subscriber such that services like emergency services can be provided with accurate location information.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to positioning services, and more particularly, to fine-grained positioning of networked computers. Background technique [0002] With the development of enhanced computing capabilities, smaller and more powerful computing devices are being used to provide communication and other services to an ever-increasing number of users. Modern communication devices are used to provide a variety of location-based services to users using positioning systems such as Global Positioning Service (GPS), cell phone tracking, and similar systems. [0003] Emergency services are a life-and-death aspect of modern communication systems. In the days of traditional Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) telephone service, emergency service systems such as 911, 999, 112 relied on location information maintained by network administrators. Since "landline" phones are usually non-mobile, this is sufficient. However, wireless devices and networke...
