USING MOBILE PHONE DATA TO LOG ACTIVITIES AND GENERATE ACTIVITY RECORDS

1 . A method comprising:

identifying user identifier data and user location data at a processor of a shared pool of computing resources, the user identifier data representing a user identifier associated with a user and the user location data representing a position of the user;

identifying duration data representing a duration over which the position of the user is associated with a location, the duration data being based on time data;

receiving device data including one or more of the user identifier, the user location data, the duration data, and the time data via a network connection as a function of availability of a data connection;

accessing project data including data representing a project location at which the user performs an activity associated with a project to create a record;

determining data representing the location matches the project location subsequent to the availability of the data connection;

creating the record based on the device data; and

transmitting data representing the record via the data connection to cause display of the record in a graphical user interface.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving the device data comprises:

receiving the device data originating at a mobile device associated with the user identifier data.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein creating the record comprises:

generating data representing a timecard.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying one or more of the user location data and the duration data are determined at one or more of the device and the shared pool of computing resources.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying the user location data comprises:

identifying a plurality of location data points, each location data point including a device location at a corresponding time.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein at least one location data point corresponding to the device is associated with at least one position of the user.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying the user location data comprises:

identifying a first subset of the time data including a first subset of location data points associated with entering the project location; and

identifying a second subset of the time data including a second subset of location data points associated with exiting the project location.

8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein identifying the first subset of the time data associated with entering the project location comprises:

classifying a first portion of the timing data as an entry time.

9 . The method of claim 7 , wherein identifying the second subset of the time data associated with exiting the project location comprises:

classifying a second portion of the timing data as an exit time.

10 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

calculating a duration time constituting at least a portion of the duration data at the processor based on an amount of time elapsed between an entry time and an exit time.

11 . The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying the duration data:

receiving a duration time constituting at least a portion of the duration data via the data connection, the duration time being an amount of time calculated at the device.

12 . The method of claim 1 , wherein creating the record comprises:

formatting the device data and the project data to create the record.

13 . The method of claim 12 , further comprising:

mapping the device data and the project data to fields of the record.

14 . The method of claim 1 , wherein formatting the device data and the project data comprises:

modifying the record to form a timecard record that matches a predetermined platform; and

identifying the modified timecard record as associated with the predetermined platform.

15 . The method of claim 1 , wherein transmitting the data to display the record in the graphical user interface comprises:

transmitting data representing the record to cause display of the record in a tune card graphical user interface.

16 . The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the data representing the location matches the project location comprises:

matching the user location data with the project location data as a function of the project identifier.

17 . The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying the user identifier data and the user location data at the shared pool of computing resources comprises:

identifying the user identifier data and the user location data in a multi-tenant network associated with the shared pool of computing resources.

18 . An apparatus comprising:

a processor; and

a memory that includes instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

identify user identifier data and user location data at a processor of a shared pool of computing resources, the user identifier data representing a user identifier associated with a user and the user location data representing a position of the user;

identify duration data representing a duration over which the position of the user is associated with a location, the duration data being based on time data;

receive device data including one or more of the user identifier, the user location data, the duration data, and the time data via a network connection as a function of availability of a data connection;

access project data including data representing a project location at which the user performs an activity associated with a project to create a record;

determine data representing the location matches the project location subsequent to the availability of the data connection;

create the record based on the device data; and

transmit data representing the record via the data connection to cause display of the record in a graphical user interface.

19 . The apparatus of claim 18 , wherein the instructions to receive the device data comprise the instructions to:

receive the device data originating at a mobile device associated with the user identifier data.

20 . The apparatus of claim 18 , wherein the instructions further comprise additional instructions to:

identify one or more of the user location data and the duration data are determined at one or more of the device and the shared pool of computing resources.
