Abstract

A method, system, and computer-readable medium bearing instructions for calibrating a location system are described. The method includes receiving connection information regarding the connection of a device to a network and querying a user to provide input regarding the physical location of the device. User input is received regarding the physical location of the device connected to the network and the connection information and user input are stored.

Claims

Amended claims Received by the International Bureau on 04 December 2006 (04.12.06)
1. A method of calibrating a location system, comprising the steps of: establishing connection between a device and a network; requesting connection information regarding the connection of the device to the network; receiving the connection information regarding the connection of the device to the network; querying a user to provide input regarding the physical location of the device; receiving user input regarding the physical location of the device connected to the network; and storing the connection information and user input.
2. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein, the connection information and user input are stored at a second device different from the device.
3. The method as claimed in claim 2, wherein the second device initiates the querying step.
4. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the querying step is performed based on at least one of a periodic basis and a detected network connection change,
5. The method as claimed in claim 4, wherein the querying step query requests the user to refine previously provided user input regarding the physical location.
6. The method as claimed in claim 5, wherein the querying step query requests the user to disarribiguate previously provided user input.
7. The method as claimed in claim 4, wherein the querying step query includes at least one of one or more preset physical locations and previously provided user input.
8. The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising transmitting at least one of stored connection information and stored user input to a requesting device responsive to receipt of a request from the requesting device.
9. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the connection information includes at least one of an identifier parameter, a network type, a time, and a connection-based parameter.
10. A computer-readable medium for calibrating a location system based on user input, comprising: at least one sequence of instructions, wherein execution of the instructions by a processor causes the processor to perform the steps as claimed in claim 1.
11. A method of calibrating a location system using user input, the method comprising the steps of: establishing connection between a device and a network; requesting connection information regarding the connection of the device to the network; receiving the connection information regarding connection, of the device to the network; transmitting the connection information to a second device; querying a user of the device for user input regarding a physical location of the device; receiving user input regarding the physical location of the device; and transmitting the received user input to a second device,
12. The method as claimed in claim 11, wherein the querying step is performed based on at least one of a periodic basis and a detected network connection change.
13. The method as claimed in claim 11, wherein the user input includes selection of a physical location on a map.
14. A computer-readable medium for calibrating a location system based on user input, comprising: at least one sequence of instructions, wherein execution of the instructions by a processor causes the processor to perform the steps as claimed in claim 11.
15. A location system calibrated based on user input, comprising: a processor; a memory connected to the processor, the memory storing instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: establish, connection between a device and a network; request connection information regarding the connection of the device to the network; transmit a request for user input to the device connected to the network, responsive to receipt of the connection information from the device; and store connection information and user input received from the device.
16. The location system as claimed in claim 15, wherein the transmitted request includes at least one of one or more preset physical locations and one or more physical locations previously provided by a second user.
17. A system for providing user input to calibrate a location system, comprising: a processor; a memory connected to the processor, the memory storing instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: establish connection between the system and a network; request connection information regarding a connection of the system to a network; query a user for user input regarding the physical location of the system connected to the network, responsive to a request from a first device having received connection information frorn the system; and transmit user input received from the user to the first device.
18. A system for calibrating a location system based on user input, comprising: establishing means for establishing connection between a device and a network; requesting means for requesting connection, information regarding the connection of the device to the network; receiving means for receiving connection information regarding the connection of the device to the network and user input regarding the physical location of the device connected to the network; transmitting means for transmitting a request to the device to query the user for the user input; and storing means for storing the received connection information and user input received by the receiving means.
19. The system as claimed in claim 18, wherein the receiving means further receives a request for at least one of stored connection information and user input from a requesting device, and further comprising: transmitting means for transmitting at least one of a stored connection information and stored user input to a requesting device responsive to the receiving means receiving the request from the requesting device.
20. The system as claimed in claim 19, wherein the request from the requesting device includes at least one of a geographic-based request, a user identity- based request, and a time-based request.
