Abstract
In accordance with one embodiment of the present disclosure, a method for mobility profiling includes collecting a plurality of locations of a mobile electronic device, determining at least one trajectory for the mobile electronic device from the plurality of locations, and storing the at least one trajectory in computer readable media. Each of the plurality of locations have a spatial and temporal component. Using the at least one trajectory, estimating a future location of the mobile electronic device, and communicating data to the mobile electronic device corresponding to the estimated future location such that the content of the communicated data is based on the future location.
Claims25
A method comprising:
- collecting a plurality of locations of a mobile electronic device, each of the plurality of locations having a spatial and temporal component;
- determining, by a computing system, a mobility profile for the mobile electronic device based at least in part on at least a subset of the plurality of locations of the mobile device, the mobility profile identifying a route traversed repeatedly by the mobile device, each repeated traversal of the route by the mobile electronic device having occurred during a respective one of a plurality of periodically recurring time periods;
- storing the mobility profile in computer readable media;
- estimating, based at least in part on the mobility profile, a future location of the mobile electronic device, the future location having a spatial and a temporal component;
- and
- communicating data to the mobile electronic device corresponding to the estimated future location, the content of the communicated data based on the future location.
