Abstract:
For targeted presentation of information on a mobile device, a presence of the device is detected at a given time at in a zone. A pause is detected in a movement of the device in the zone. A hangout pattern of the device is predicted. The hangout pattern includes an expected pause duration of the pause. Using the hangout pattern and the detected pause, a time is computed to present a content on the device. The content presented at the time is expected to have a higher than a threshold probability of receiving an input at the device. The content is selected according to the probability of receiving the input. The content is transmitted to the device such that the content is available for presenting at the device at the computed time.
Abstract:
A method, computer system, and computer readable product for trajectory data compression are disclosed. In embodiments, the method comprises generating spatial data for one or more moving objects; projecting the data onto a network comprised of a plurality of trajectories, the network constraining movement of the one or more moving objects; and storing the projected data in a data store. In embodiments of the invention, the method further comprises translating updates and queries to the spatial data, using specified data of the network, into links to the data store, and using the links to update and query the data store. In embodiments of the invention, the specified data of the network are stored in a network store. In embodiments of the invention, each of the trajectories includes one or more sub-trajectories, and the projecting the spatial data onto a network includes projecting the spatial data onto the sub-trajectories.
Abstract:
A system and method are provided for discovering k-nearest-neighbors to a given point within a certain distance d. The method includes constructing an index of geometries using geohashes of geometries as an indexing key to obtain an indexed set of geometries, and calculating a geohash representation of the given point with a resolution equal to a magnitude value of d. The method includes searching for a closest-prefix geometry from the indexed set using the geohash representation of the given point, and identifying geometries from the indexed set having a same prefix as the closest-prefix geometry. The method further includes calculating distances between the given point and the geometries identified from the indexed set having the same prefix as the closest-prefix geometry, and determining k geometries with respective shortest distances less than d from the geometries identified from the indexed set having the same prefix as the closest-prefix geometry.
