Abstract
A data enrichment processing apparatus (100) comprises a processing resource (154) arranged to access, when in use, location data (300) having temporal data associated therewith, and to group a part of the location data according to a predetermined criterion. The processing resource (154) is arranged to support an analysis module (268) capable of inferring temporal access information from the part of the location data grouped, the temporal access information being indicative of ability to access physically a point of interest associated with the part of the location data grouped.
Claims25
A data enrichment apparatus enabling generation of richer point of interest content, comprising:
- a processing resource arranged to access, when in use, location data having temporal data associated therewith, and to group a part of the location data according to a predetermined criterion;
- wherein
- the processing resource is arranged to support an analysis module capable of inferring temporal access information from the part of the location data grouped, the temporal access information being indicative of at least one of opening hours and hours of business of a point of interest associated with the part of the location data grouped.
(canceled)
A location data processing system comprising:
- the data enrichment apparatus as claimed in any one of the preceding claims;
- a database of the location data having the temporal data associated therewith;
- and
- a plurality of navigation apparatus arranged to contribute to the database of the location data.
A method of determining temporal access information associated with a point of interest, enabling generation of richer point of interest content, the method comprising:
- accessing location data having temporal data associated therewith;
- grouping a part of the location data according to a predetermined criterion;
- and
- inferring temporal access information from the part of the location data grouped, the temporal access information being indicative of at least one of opening hours and hours of business of a point of interest associated with the part of the location data grouped.
A computer program element comprising computer program code means to make a computer execute a method of determining temporal access information associated with a point of interest, enabling generation of richer point of interest content, the method comprising:
- accessing location data having temporal data associated therewith;
- grouping a part of the location data according to a predetermined criterion;
- and
- inferring temporal access information from the part of the location data grouped, the temporal access information being indicative of at least one of opening hours and hours of business of a point of interest associated with the part of the location data grouped.
