Call Data Geolocation Mapping via NANP Extraction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems face difficulties in accurately receiving, analyzing, and mapping geographical-related data, particularly in determining the originating location and purpose of communications, and predicting potential issues based on such data.
Innovation Solution
The system extracts the 6-digit North American Numbering Plan (NANP) from telephone numbers, converts it into geographical coordinates, and stores this data in a database for analysis, using structured query languages and graphical user interfaces to present insights and trends, including identifying potential issues before they occur.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If call data is received and stored without geographical conversion, then data storage is simple, but the ability to determine originating location and analyze geographical trends is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary conversion of telephone numbers to geographical coordinates at the time of data ingestion, storing both the original call data and the converted geographical representation. This preliminary action ensures geographical information is preserved without adding complexity during subsequent analysis operations, as the conversion is already complete.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary conversion layer that translates telephone numbers into geographical coordinates using a mapping service. This intermediary process bridges the gap between raw call data and geographical analysis requirements, preserving location information while enabling meaningful geographical queries without requiring complex real-time conversion during analysis.
2Reliability
If all call data parameters are stored and analyzed, then comprehensive analysis is achieved, but data retrieval and processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts and stores only the essential geographical coordinates (latitude and longitude) from complete telephone numbers, separating the critical location information from the full telephone number data. This extraction maintains analysis accuracy by preserving precise location data while reducing the volume of data that needs to be processed and retrieved during analysis operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the telephone number into its functional components, extracting only the necessary NPA-NXX digits for geographical conversion while storing the complete number for reference. This segmentation allows the system to maintain comprehensive data for accuracy while optimizing retrieval by storing pre-converted geographical representations that can be queried independently of full number analysis.
3Measurement precision
If telephone numbers are converted to geographical coordinates for every query, then accurate location data is provided, but processing speed decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs the telephone number to coordinate conversion in advance during data ingestion, storing the results for immediate retrieval during queries. This preliminary conversion eliminates the need for repeated real-time conversions, maintaining precise location data while significantly improving query processing speed as the conversion work is already completed.
