An approach is provided for providing group context sensing and inference. The group context platform determines at least one group of one or more devices that have one or more group contexts that are at least substantially similar, at least substantially correlated, or a combination thereof. Next, the group context platform causes, at least in part, a distribution of one or more context sensing tasks among the one or more devices of the at least one group. Then, the group context platform processes and/or facilitates a processing of one or more results of the one or more context sensing tasks to (a) modify the one or more group contexts; (b) enhance the one or more group contexts; (c) determine one or more other group contexts; or (d) a combination thereof.

Methods and apparatuses are provided for controlling invocation of a sensor. A method may include accessing a context probability model generated based at least in part on historical context data. The method may further include using the context probability model to determine a probability that a context indicated by an output of a sensor will differ from a context indicated by a previous output of the sensor. The determination may be made based at least in part on observed context information. The method may additionally include controlling invocation of the sensor based at least in part on the determined probability. Corresponding apparatuses are also provided.

An example approach is provided for providing recommendations to a user based on user's role derived from the context information and an advanced user profile. A recommendation platform processes context information to determine one or more roles associated with a user. Next, the recommendation platform calculates at least one level of similarity between the one or more roles and one or more other roles associated with one or more other users. Then, the recommendation platform determines recommendation information associated with the one or more other users based, at least in part, on the at least one level of similarity. Next, the recommendation platform processes the recommendation information to generate one or more recommendations for the user.

A context-aware adaptive authentication method may comprise: determining a context for a user; adjusting automatically an authentication configuration for the user based at least in part on the context, wherein different matching accuracies of an authentication algorithm for the same authentication input data are associated with respective authentication configurations; and performing an authentication of the user with the authentication configuration, wherein for the user under a safe context, the authentication is performed by decreasing a matching accuracy of the authentication algorithm.

An approach is provided for providing hub-based indexing and services. The hub-based platform causes, at least in part, an indexing of location-based content according to one or more location hubs of one or more transportation lines, Next, the hub-based platform determines a current proximity, a predicted proximity, or a combination thereof of one or more devices to the one or more location hubs, wherein the one or more devices are (a) traveling on the one or more transportation lines, (b) predicted to travel on the one or more transportation lines, or (c) a combination thereof. Then, the hub-based platform causes, at least in part, a presentation of at least a portion of the location-based content based, at least in part, on the current proximity, the predicted proximity, or a combination thereof.

A method for personalized location privacy recommendation comprises: obtaining information of one or more locations for a user; collecting features of the one or more locations; and recommending respective privacy levels of the one or more locations automatically based at least in part on the information and the features.

An approach is provided for associating interest tags with media items based on social diffusions among users. The media tagging platform processes and/or facilitates a processing of one or more user profiles to determine one or more interest tags relating to one or more users, captured at one or more user devices to determine one or more frequencies of the one or more signals. Next, the media tagging platform determines one or more social diffusions of the one or more media items among the one or more users. Then, the media tagging platform causes, at least in part, an association of the one or more media items with the one or more interest tags based, at least in part, on the one or more social diffusions.
摘要:
An approach is provided for determining significant places with greatly improved accuracy using universally available identifier information. A significant place platform causes, at least in part, a mapping of one or more communication coverage areas associated with one or more identifiers onto at least one geo-grid, wherein the one or more identifiers are associated with at least one device operating within at least one communication network. The significant place platform further processes the one or more identifiers to determine one or more significance scores associated with one or more grid units of the at least one geo-grid. The significant place platform also determines at least one significant place based, at least in part, on the one or more significance scores.
