Abstract

See full text

An apparatus, system, and method for tracking users by using a background-embedded observer are described. The observer is embedded within one or more application residing on a device, such as a smartphone. The embedded observer receives information from various sensors on the device, including wireless radios. By sensing the identifiers of the wireless radios, the embedded observer can improve geolocation accuracy where GPS signals are often too weak, such as indoors. The wireless radio identifier information can be correlated with the information produced by other users to improve accuracy.
