Abstract:
Reliable location data is found using messages with unreliable location data. A logistic-geohash is found for a plurality of messages. Records of are accessed data messages, each data message including a geographic locator and a sender-identifier. For each sender-identifier, one or more geogroups are determined. For each geogroup: determining, a representative point of the geogroup is found to represent the geogroup. Using the representative point of the geogroup, a geogroup-geohash is found. Pair of geogroup: logistic address are found based on a matching of at least some of the first plurality of digits and some of the second plurality of digits. For each pair of geogroup:logistic address, a distance is determined between the representative point of the geogroup and the representative point of the logistic address. Geogroup:logistic address pairs are selected. The selected geogroup:logistic address pairs are stored in memory as representing a logistic location of the sender-identifier.
