    摘要: A system coupled to a packet-based network is configured to generate geo-blocks for location-based information services. Each of the geo-blocks corresponds to a geographical region within a geographical area and has at least one border defined by a real-world object. The system is configured to obtain geo data related to real-world objects including transportation routes and natural boundaries in the geographical area, partition the geographical area into initial geo-blocks using the geo data, process a plurality of information requests with respect to at least some of the initial geo-blocks and with respect to initial geo-fences associated with a plurality of points of interests (POIs) to generate entries in one or more databases, and machine train a mobile device location prediction model based on the entries in the one or more databases.

    摘要: The disclosed technology includes system and method for discovering key places for a mobile device based on historical location data associated with the mobile device. The key places are discovered by mapping the historical location data into predefined land areas in a geographical region, aggregating the historical location data into time interval sessions, selecting a first set of the predefined areas based on density of location data in each of the predefined land areas, and filtering the first set of the predefined areas to obtain the key places. The key places are used to estimate one or more travel routes routinely taken by a user of the mobile device, and to build an association database, where one or more billboards and/or points of interests near the travel routes are associated with the mobile device or its user. Information documents for delivering to the mobile device are selected based at least on data in the association database.

    摘要: A mobile device running a software application is configured to provide initial location data to a server when it is first turned on, or achieves a predetermined movement status. The server determines, based on the initial location data, geo data including a set of areas of interest (AOIs) near the mobile device and a region including the set of AOIs, and provides the geo data to the mobile device. The mobile device is further configured to track its locations when the mobile device is within any of the set of AOIs and to provide the tracked locations to the server. The mobile device is further configured to track its movement status after it has been outside the region, and, in response to a predetermined movement status being detected for a predetermined amount of time, obtain updated geo data including a new region and a new set of AOIs from the server. The software application enables efficient tracking of mobile device locations and reduces power consumption.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides methods and systems that utilize mobile device location events and machine learning and generate predicative classification/regression model for lookalike prediction. Location related features, together with other user level information, are extracted, transformed and used as model feature input, and a client specified list of mobile devices or their associated users are used as prediction target. This system makes efficient use of different types of location events and thus offers improved scale and performance. It also enjoys many benefits offered by a machine learning platform, such as automatic adaptation to different lists of seed lists, addition of new features and changes in data statistical properties.

    摘要: A method of delivering location-based information comprises receiving a request including a location indicator from a packet-based network and translating the location indicator into a probabilistic representation of one or more possible locations of a mobile user based on historical data collected from mobile devices. By generating the probabilistic user location representation, the method can be used to deal with the inherent uncertainty in user location data, particularly in a mobile world. In some embodiments, this is done by using validation, context analysis, creation of consistent groups, and probability allocation procedures. Location-based document retrieval can be enabled using the probabilistic user location representation.

    摘要: A method of forecasting comprises, for each respective time period of a plurality of time periods, transforming a plurality of observations from the respective time period into observation sketches. The method then proceeds to extract a set of targeted attributes and constraints from a forecast request, and construct a set expression using the targeted attributes and the associated constraints. The method further comprises selecting one or more sample periods from the plurality of time periods, and for each sample period of the one or more selected sample periods: mapping the set of targeted attributes to observation sketches in the sample period to identify a subset of sketches, and performing a set operation on the subset of sketches using the set expression to determine a cardinality corresponding to the sample period; and generating a forecast result using one or more cardinalities corresponding to the one or more sample periods.
