Inferring user interests from geo-location reports

Abstract:

A method for inferring a user interest from geo data items associated with the user. The method includes retrieving point-of-interests (PoIs) from a PoI information repository based on the geo data items, generating a weighted count of the PoI for each geo data item that is weighted based on an attribute of the geo data item, and aggregating the weighted count across all geo data items to generate a score of the PoI, wherein the interest level of the user is inferred based at least on the score of the PoI.
