摘要： A method and apparatus for collecting and analyzing cellular identification (ID) numbers at various geographic locations to estimate cellular tower locations. The method may include collecting cellular ID numbers obtained by collection mobile devices at a plurality of geographic locations then calculating minimum bounding circles encompassing a set of geographic location points with the same cellular identification numbers. If the cellular ID number of a set of location points indicates that the cellular tower is omni-directional, a center of the minimum bounding circle is an estimated cellular tower location. If the cellular ID number indicates that the cellular tower is multi-sector, the apparatus may calculate the estimated cellular tower location as the location at which lines that extend from the centers of a plurality of related minimum bounding circles intersect with each other to form equal angles.

摘要： Techniques are described to decode location information in content accessed by a mobile electronic device and pass the decoded information to a native mapping application to provide an enhanced user experience. In an implementation, location information is decoded by parsing a map link in content accessed by the mobile electronic device or from location information parameters associated with a mapping application programming interface (API) call made by a mapping script embedded in the content. The decoded location information is passed to a native mapping application of the mobile electronic device. A map-related function may then be provided by the mobile electronic device by accessing functionality of the native mapping application using the decoded location information.
