With the development of location-aware technologies and the activation of smart phones, location based social networks(LBSN) have been activated to allow people to easily share their location. In particular, studies on recommending the location of user interests by using the user check-in function in LBSN have been actively conducted. In this paper, we propose a location recommendation scheme considering time and user activities in LBSN. The proposed scheme considers user preference changes over time, local experts, and user interest in rare places. In other words, it uses the check-in history over time and distinguishes the user activity area to identify local experts. It also considers a rare place to give a weight to the user preferred place. It is shown through various performance evaluations that the proposed scheme outperforms the existing schemes.

It is prevalent to gather the location information from GPS, WiFi and etc, and therefore LBSNS (Location-Based SNS) has increased rapidly (such as location-augmented Twitter services). The message created from LBSNS include the specific area of interests which the message is created in or mentions. It is easy to propagate the location-based information of LBSNS by adapting the retweet function which is efficient way to propagate the message in tweeter. In this paper, we have defined the smart retweet as a automatic retweet function for efficient propagating the messages which is geo-tagging the location of interests. We have designed the smart retweet system based on the tweeter system. The user could specify the area of interests and build the social networking among the users which have interested in common area. The smart retweet system have been implemented by mesh-up services based on Open-API of trweeter and google map. It is expected that the smart retweet service proposed in this paper makes easy sharing of the location-based interesting information.

In mobile computing research area, it is highly desirable to understand the characteristics of user movement so that the user friendly location aware services could be rendered effectively. Location based social networks (LBSNs) have flourished recently and are of great potential for movement behavior exploration and datadriven application design. While there have been some efforts on user check-in movement behavior in LBSNs, they lack comprehensive analysis of social influence on them. To this end, the social-spatial influence and social-temporal influence are analyzed synthetically in this paper based on the related information exposed in LBSNs. The check-in movement behaviors of users are found to be affected by their social friendships both from spatial and temporal dimensions. Furthermore, a probabilistic model of user mobile behavior is proposed, incorporating the comprehensive social influence model with extent personal preference model. The experimental results validate that our proposed model can improve prediction accuracy compared to the state-of-the-art social historical model considering temporal information (SHM+T), which mainly studies the temporal cyclic patterns and uses them to model user mobility, while being with affordable complexity.

Point of interest (POI) of the city is a special place that has what importance to the user. For example, it is such landmark, restaurants, museums, hotels, and theaters. Because of its role in the social and economic life of us, these have attracted a lot of interest in location-based applications such as social networks and online map. However, while it can easily be obtained through the Web, the basic information of POI such as geographic location, another effort is required to obtain detailed information such as Wi-Fi, accepting credit cards, opening hours, romper room and the assessment and evaluation of other users. To solve these problems, a new method for correcting position error is required to link location-based social network service (LBSNS) data and POIs. This paper attempts to propose a position error correction method of POI and LBSNS data to enrich POI information from the vast information that is accumulated in LBSNS. Through this study, we can overcome the limitation of individual POI information via the information fusion method of LBSNS and POI, and we have discovered the possibility to be able to provide additional information which users need. As a result, we expect to be able to collect a variety of POI information quickly.

POI (Point-of-Interest) 추천은 다양한 위치 기반 서비스에서 중요한 역할을 있다. 기존 연구에서는 사용자의 모바일 선호도를 모델링하기 위해 과거의 체크인의 공간-시간적 관계를 추출한다. 그러나 사용자 궤적에 숨겨진 개인 방문 경향을 반영할 수 있는 structured feature 는 잘 활용되지 않는다. 이 논문에서는 궤적 그래프를 결합한 시공간 인식 attention 네트워크를 제안한다. 개인의 선호도가 시간이 지남에 따라 변할 수 있다는 점을 고려하면 Dynamic GCN (Graph Convolution Network) 모듈은 POI 들의 공간적 상관관계를 동적으로 집계할 수 있다. LBSN (Location-Based Social Networks) 데이터 세트에서 검증된 새 모델은 기존 모델보다 약 9.0% 성능이 뛰어나다.

SNS(Social Networking Services) is oneline service that enable users to construct human network through their relation on web, such as following relation, friend relation, and etc. Recently, owing to the advent of digital devices (smart phone, tablet PC) which embedded GPS some applications which provide services with spatial relevance and social relevance have been released. Such an online service is called LBSNS. It is required to use spatial filtering so as to build the LBSNS system that enable users to subscribe information of interesting area. For spatial filtering, user and tweet attaches location information which divide into static property presenting fixed area and dynamic property presenting user's area changed along the moving user. In the case of using a location information including dynamic property, Continuous query occurred from the moving user causes the problem in server. In this paper, we propose spatial filtering algorithm using Virtual Grid for reducing frequency of query, and conclude that frequency of query on using Virtual Grid is 93% decreased than frequency of query on not using Virtual Grid.
