Automatic location address translation and less accurate location technology address to more accurate location technology address translation

摘要

Methods and systems for translating technology relevant addresses to user relevant addresses, and for translating less accurate location addresses to more accurate location addresses, are provided. According to a first embodiment, a method for displaying location information relating to a mobile device comprises using received signal information to identify a specific transmitter; determining a location of the identified transmitter; determining a Technology Relevant Address; calculating an Error Radius; translating the Technology Relevant Address to a User Relevant Address; recalculating the Error Radius; and displaying the User Relevant Address. According to a second embodiment, the method comprises using a first, less accurate technology, receiving signal information and using the received signal information to identify a specific transmitter; determining the location of the identified transmitter; calculating an Error Radius; determining if there is a More Accurate Technology Location Address within the Error Radius that is less than some time period old; translating the Less Accurate Technology Address to the More Accurate Technology Address; and displaying the User Relevant Address.
