Apparatus, systems, and methods for analyzing movements of target entities

A method comprising:

• processing, by a first computing device, a time-series of location data points for a target entity received from a second computing device associated with the target entity;
• identifying, by the first computing device, a plurality of areas of activity based on the time-series of location data points for the target entity;
• determining, by the first computing device, one or more sessions from the time-series of the location data points by grouping one or more of the time-series of the location data points that are bounded in space and/or time;
• determining, by the first computing device, one or more attributes associated with the target entity based on one or more of, the time-series of the location data points, the plurality of areas of activity, and the one or more sessions;
• and
• generating, by the first computing device, a profile of the target entity based on the one or more attributes associated with the target entity and on patterns of movement of the target entity.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having executable instructions executable to cause a data processing apparatus to:

• process a time-series of location data points for a target entity, wherein the time-series of location data points are received from a computing device associated with the target entity;
• identify a plurality of areas of activity based on the time-series of location data points for the target entity;
• determine one or more sessions from the time-series of location data points by grouping one or more of the time-series of the location data points that are bounded in space and/or time;
• determine one or more attributes associated with the target entity based on one or more of, the time-series of the location data points, the plurality of areas of activity, and the one or more sessions;
• and
• generate a profile of the target entity based on the one or more attributes associated with the target-entity.
