Using an Adaptive Search Tree to Predict User Location

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a method for predicting a user's location based on their past movement patterns. There is no restriction on the length of past movement patterns when using this method to predict the current location. For this purpose, a modified search tree has been devised. The search tree is constructed in an effective manner while it additionally learns the movement patterns of a user one by one. In fact, the time complexity of the learning process for a movement pattern is linear. In this process, the search tree expands to take into consideration more details about the movement patterns when a pattern that conflicts with an existing trained pattern is found. In this manner, the search tree is trained to make an exact matching, as needed, for location prediction.In the experiments, the results showed that this method is highly accurate in comparison with more complex and sophisticated methods. Also, the accuracy deviation of users of this method is significantly lower than for any other methods. This means that this method is highly stable for the variations of behavioral patterns as compared to any other method. Finally, 1.47 locations were considered on average for making a prediction with this method. This shows that the prediction process is very efficient

Developing a Mobile Learning System in Augmented Reality Context

“…M-learning has recently emerged as a trend in instruction, offering learners with networked mobile devices unprecedented convenience and allowing them to learn anywhere, anytime [3][4][5]. In contrast to traditional classroom instruction, m-learning allows learners to use Internet resources, multimedia technologies, and virtual team skills in online discussions, exams, video conferencing, and other activities.…”

An Evaluation and Implementation of Rule-Based Home Energy Management System Using the Rete Algorithm

“…Sensors are plugged in the smart taps and connected to the LAN or publish observed data via resource networks such as wireless sensor network (WSN) [ 12 – 14 ] and semantic link network (SLN) [ 15 , 16 ]. The observed data such as user's location [ 17 ] are referred from other devices. Smart taps collect related information from electrical appliances and sensors to process IF-THEN rules based on the Rete algorithm.…”

Secure eHealth-Care Service on Self-Organizing Software Platform

“…A SoSp is combined IT health devices. Such devices are designed to automatically interact with the physical environment and users based on the necessities and the surroundings of the users [3], for example, wearable healthcare, medical devices, watches, and bicycles, with ubiquitous computing allowing users to take care of their health needs easily regardless of their location or time and to cope with certain types of emergencies. The SoSp and its applications are practical products of IT convergence research for health improvement and are intended to be utilized by elderly users or patients.…”
