Abstract
Recently, as smartphones are widespread, a variety of user's information is created and managed in smartphones. Especially the location information can show the user's position at a specific time and the user's area of interest, which could be very useful during criminal investigation. Although the location information plays an important role in solving the crimes such as serial murder, rape and arson cases, there is a lack of research on location information for digital forensics. In this paper, we analyze the location information from logs, images, and applications on android, and we suggest the integrated model for analyzing location information. The proposed model may be useful in criminal investigation by improving the efficiency of data analysis and providing information about a criminal case.
