Correlation of mobile device positions determined using wireless access points with data sources

Abstract:

Embodiments are disclosed for a method that may include accessing, from a first data source, events including interactions between a mobile device and one or more network devices on a network at a locale, and receiving external data from a second data source that excludes the network devices. The method may further include determining, based on the interactions, one or more geographic positions and one or more corresponding time intervals of the mobile device at the geographic positions, and correlating the geographic positions and the time intervals with the external data to obtain a metric.
