Enhancing the location-context through inference over positioning data
Descrição
The current ubiquity of wireless communication networks is enabling new ways to compute the position of mobile devices and their users. One good example is the Place Lab system that exploits the beacons broadcast by many wireless networks to estimate the geographic position of mobile users. Although position is a fundamental dimension in the user’s context, other location-related dimensions of the context are also important for the development of innovative context-aware applications. In this paper we propose a new architecture for context acquisition and management, as a new layer added over the Place Lab system, where inference techniques over the basic positioning data are used to enrich the context with new dimensions without compromising user privacy.
