Abstract
A user device may determine an access point within communication range of the user device; determine whether location information, associated with the access point, is stored by the user device in the data structure; and obtain, based on the determination that the location information is not stored by the user device, a location of the user device. When obtaining the location information of the user device, the user device may invoke location identification hardware. The user device may store the obtained location information of the user device, in the data structure, as location information corresponding to the access point; obtain, based on the determination that the location information is stored in the data structure, the location information of the user device from the data structure; generate a location record identifying the location of the user device; and store or output the location record.
