Abstract
Due to the development of ICT, with using hardwares such as WiFi, 3G and GPS and so on, smartphone could have provided a lot of applications with novel functions rapidly. Through such applications, lots of personal information such as personal location, personal images, and list of phone calls is created, saved and widely used. Because there is lots of leakage of the stored personal information due to loss of phone and application, privacy violation have been important issue nowadays. Smartphone with GPS and Internet provides location information. To protect the information, the technologies that only the authorized user can access it while inquiring the location information have been proposed. In this paper, to minimize the identification information for location information subject and information user and anonymize the identifiable information such as phone number, we proposed a model that can reduce the leakage of information and avoid the wrong usage of the stored information in the server. This technique will be used for protecting privacy when developing the application that provides routing service through location history information.
