Abstract

An information handling system includes a wireless adapter for communicating with a wireless link and a storage device for storing a spatial-temporal user profile comprising wireless device usage trend data for a location where the information handling system is operating. The information handling system further includes positional detector and an application processor that determines a trajectory estimation during a future time interval. The application processor correlates the wireless device usage trend date for a location in or near the trajectory estimation.

Claims (37)

1. An information handling system comprising:

a wireless adapter to communicate with a wireless link;

a storage device to store a spatial-temporal user profile comprising wireless device usage trend data for a plurality of locations where the information handling system has operated;

a positional detector to detect position of the information handling system;

an application processor to determine a trajectory estimation during a future time interval for the information handling system from position data;

the application processor to correlate the wireless device usage trend data for a location in or near the trajectory estimation; and

the application processor to select a predicted future information handling system path during the future time interval based on correlation between the trajectory estimation and the wireless device usage trend data,

wherein the application processor selects the predicted future information handling system path based on a correlation between a plurality of previously visited locations and nearness to a location in the trajectory estimation during the future time interval.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the positional detector detects position via a satellite global positioning system and further detects position data including direction, velocity and acceleration of the information handling system.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the application processor determines the trajectory estimation for the information handling system during the future time interval based on application of a linear mean square estimator to estimate future locations using current position, velocity and acceleration.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the application processor further selects a location in the predicted future information handling system path by assessing a visitation frequency to a location recorded in the wireless device usage trend data and by assessing the proximity of the location to the trajectory estimation for the information handling system during the future time interval.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the application processor further selects the predicted future information handling system path by modifying the trajectory estimation for the information handling system during the future time interval to include frequently visited locations within one grid square from the trajectory estimation on a location map grid.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the application processor selecting the predicted future information handling system path is conducted via a remotely-hosted application and communicated to the information handling system.

7. The system of claim 4 , wherein the application processor selects a location in the predicted future information handling system path from among several possible future information handling system locations further based on a previously visited location having a highest visitation frequency level.

8. A computer implemented method comprising:

storing a spatial-temporal user profile comprising wireless device usage trend data for a plurality of locations where a mobile information handling system has operated;

detecting, via a positional detector, a position of the mobile information handling system;

predicting, via an application processor, a future path of the mobile information handling system based on a trajectory estimation during a future time interval for the information handling system determined from detected position data; and

correlating the trajectory estimation during the future time interval with the wireless device usage trend data for a location in or near the trajectory estimation,

wherein correlating the trajectory estimation during the future time interval with historical usage trend data includes assessing a visitation frequency to a location recorded in the usage trend data.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein determining the trajectory estimation during the future time interval is based on application of a linear mean square estimator to estimate of the probability of future locations using detected position data including current position, velocity and acceleration of the mobile information handling system.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein correlating the trajectory estimation during the future time interval with historical usage trend data is conducted on the mobile information handling system.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein predicting the future path of the mobile information handling system includes modifying the trajectory estimation to include frequently visited locations within one grid square on a location map.

12. The method of claim 8 , wherein predicting the future path of the mobile information handling system includes selecting from several probable future mobile information handling system locations along the trajectory estimation based on a distance between locations in the trajectory estimation and a previously visited location.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein predicting the future path of the mobile information handling system further includes selecting from several possible future mobile information handling system locations along the trajectory estimation based on the previously visited location having a highest visitation frequency level.

14. An information handling system comprising:

a network interface device to receive detected position data;

a storage device to store a spatial-temporal user profile comprising wireless device usage trend data for a plurality of locations where a mobile information handling system has operated;

an application processor to determine a trajectory estimation during a future time interval for the mobile information handling system based on received position data;

the application processor to correlate the trajectory estimation with the wireless device usage trend data for a location in or near the trajectory estimation; and

the application processor to select a predicted future mobile information handling system location during the future time interval from several possible future mobile information handling system locations along the trajectory estimation based a proximity of the location to the trajectory estimation.

15. The information handling system of claim 14 , wherein the position data is received via a mobile positioning system and the position data further comprises position, velocity and acceleration of the mobile information handling system.

16. The information handling system of claim 14 , wherein the application processor determines the trajectory estimation during the future time interval based on application of a linear mean square estimator to estimate of a probability of future locations in the trajectory estimation using current position, velocity and acceleration of the mobile information handling system.

17. The information handling system of claim 14 , wherein the application processor further correlates the trajectory estimation with the wireless device usage trend data by assessing a frequency of recorded visits to a location in the wireless device usage trend data.

18. The information handling system of claim 14 , wherein the application processor further correlates the trajectory estimation with the wireless device usage trend data by modifying the trajectory estimation locations to include frequently visited locations within one grid square from the trajectory estimation on a location map.

19. The information handling system of claim 14 , wherein the application processor selects the future mobile information handling system location from among several probable future mobile information handling system locations along the trajectory estimation based on a highest degree of correlation between the trajectory estimation locations and a previously visited location.

20. The information handling system of claim 17 , wherein the mobile information handling system hosts an application for selecting the predicted future mobile information handling system location.
