DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Technical solutions of the present disclosure will be described in more detail in conjunction with figures and embodiments to make technical solutions of the present disclosure clear and more apparent.

Obviously, the described embodiments are partial embodiments of the present disclosure, not all embodiments. Based on embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those having ordinary skill in the art without making inventive efforts all fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

FIG. 1 is a flow chart illustrating a method for matching a mobile hotspot with a mobile point of interest according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 1, the embodiment includes the following implementations.

In 101, dividing a spatial region into a plurality of grid cells of a predetermined size, and generating an index for each of the plurality of grid cells.

In 102, for each mobile POI of a plurality of mobile POIs in the spatial region, determining respectively indexes of grid cells through which a transport route of the mobile POI passes, to obtain a first index encoding result of the mobile POI, and the mobile POI being a transport vehicle having a fixed commuting route.

In 103, for a mobile hotspot in the spatial region, obtaining a movement trajectory of the mobile hotspot, determining respectively indexes of the grid cells through which the movement trajectory passes, to obtain a second index encoding result of the mobile hotspot.

In 104, matching the mobile hotspot with a mobile POI of the plurality of mobile POIs according to a similarity between the first index encoding result and the second index encoding result.

The spatial region may refer to any spatial region, for example, regard the city of Beijing as a spatial region or the whole country as a spatial region.

The spatial region may be first divided according to grid cells of a predetermined size. For example, the spatial region may be divided into a plurality of grid cells of the same size, as shown in FIG. 2, which is a schematic diagram of a division manner according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

Furthermore, an index of each grid cell may be generated as a grid cell number. How to generate the index is not limited, but the index of each grid cell needs to be different from indexes of other grid cells, that is, the index of each grid cell is unique, as shown in FIG. 3, which is a schematic diagram of indexes of grid cells according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

For each mobile POI in the spatial region, indexes of grid cells through which the transport route of the mobile POI passes may be respectively determined, thereby obtaining the first index encoding result of the mobile POI.

The mobile POI is a transport vehicle having a fixed commuting route, and may include a bus, a subway, a train, and the like. For each mobile POI, its transport route is known, as shown in FIG. 4, which is a schematic diagram of a transport route of bus Route 820 in the city of Beijing. Correspondingly, the grid cells the transport route has passed and thus the index of each of the grid cells may be determined, and thereby obtain an index encoding result of bus Router 820 as a mobile POI. Herein, the index encoding result of the mobile POI may be referred to as the first index encoding result to differentiate from the subsequently-appearing index encoding result of mobile hotspots.

In addition, it is possible to, for each mobile hotspot in the spatial region, obtain the movement trajectory of the mobile hotspot, and determine respectively indexes of the grid cells through which the movement trajectory passes, and thereby obtain the second index encoding result of the mobile hotspot. To differentiate from the foregoing index encoding result of the mobile POI, the index encoding result of the mobile hotspot may be referred to as the second index encoding result.

The movement trajectory of each mobile hotspot may be determined according to obtained hotspot information scanned by a user.

A user who is active in the spatial region may report the scanned hotspot information which for example may include scanned media access control (MAC) address of wifi, signal strength, corresponding base station and scanning time, a location point of the user can be known, and then the movement trajectory of each hotspot may be determined by comprehensively considering the hotspot information reported by users within a predetermined time length. All location points of the user corresponding to the same hotspot may constitute the movement trajectory of the hotspot, as shown in FIG. 5, which is a schematic diagram of the movement trajectory of bus Route 820 as shown in FIG. 4.

For each hotspot, indexes of the grid cells through which its movement trajectory passes may be determined, respectively, thereby obtaining the second index encoding result of the hotspot. For a fixed hotspot, there is usually only one grid cell through which its movement trajectory passes. Therefore, the mobile hotspot and the fixed hotspot may be distinguished in this way. Of course, other distinguishing manners commonly used in the art may also be adopted.

After the first index encoding result of each mobile POI and the second index encoding result of each mobile hot spot are obtained respectively, the mobile hotspot may be matched with a mobile POI according to the similarity between the first index encoding result and the second index encoding result.

However, if the similarity between a mobile hotspot and a mobile POI is directly calculated, a very large amount of calculation may be required. For this reason, it is proposed in an embodiment that before the mobile hotspot is matched with a mobile POI of the plurality of mobile POIs, an inverted index may be built according to the first index encoding results of the plurality of mobile POIs in the spatial region. The inverted index records one or more mobile POIs corresponding to indexes of different grid cells respectively. The corresponding one or more mobile POIs are mobile POIs passing through the different grid cells respectively. In this way, for each mobile hotspot, the following processing may be performed: first, selecting one or more candidate mobile POIs corresponding to the mobile hotspot from the plurality of mobile POIs in the spatial region, according to the second index encoding result of the mobile hotspot and the inverted index, and then selecting a mobile POI matched with the mobile hotspot from the one or more candidate mobile POIs according to the similarity between the first index encoding result of each of the one or more candidate mobile POIs and the second index encoding result of the mobile hotspot.

For example, an inverted index in the form of {“12971_4825”: [820, 112, . . . ]; “12971_4826”: [820,112, . . . ]; “12978_4829”: [820, . . . ]; . . . } may be built according to the first index encoding results of the plurality of mobile POIs in the spatial region, where 820 represents bus Route 820, and 112 represents bus Route 112.

It can be seen that all mobile POIs in the spatial region correspond to a common inverted index. If the transport route of a certain mobile POI passes the grid cell “12971_4825”, the mobile POI will appear in the mobile POI corresponding to “12971_4825”.

A forward index may be built for each mobile POI. The forward index may record detailed information of the mobile POI, such as departure time and a list of indexes of grid cells through which the mobile POI passes, for example in the following form: {“820”: “grid_list”: [“12971_4825”, “12971_4826”, “12978_4829”, . . . ], “time”: [“5:00”, “5:20”, “5:40”, . . . ]}.

It is possible to, for each mobile hotspot, select the one or more candidate mobile POIs corresponding to the mobile hotspot from the plurality of mobile POIs in the spatial region according to the second index encoding result of the mobile hotspot and the inverted index. For example, it is feasible to, for an index of each grid cell in the second index encoding result of the mobile hotspot, determine one or more mobile POIs corresponding to the index by querying the inverted index, and take the determined one or more mobile POIs as the one or more candidate mobile POI corresponding to the mobile hotspot.

For example, the second index encoding result of a mobile hotspot includes indexes of three grid cells which are, for ease of description, referred to as index 1, index 2 and index 3, respectively. For index 1, the mobile POIs, for example, two mobile POIs, corresponding to index 1 may be determined by querying the inverted index. For index 2, the mobile POIs, for example, three mobile POIs, corresponding to index 2 may be determined by querying the inverted index. For index 3, the mobile POIs, for example, three mobile POIs, corresponding to index 3 may be determined by querying the inverted index. As such, there are 2+3+3=8 candidate mobile POIs corresponding to the mobile hotspot.

After the one or more candidate mobile POIs corresponding to the mobile hotspot are determined, a similarity score between the first index encoding result of each candidate mobile POI and the second index encoding result of the mobile hotspot may be calculated, and then a candidate mobile POI with a highest score is determined as the mobile POI matched with the mobile hotspot.

For example, for each candidate mobile POI, the following processing may be performed: determining a number of indexes which are included both in the first index encoding result of the candidate mobile POI and the second index encoding result of the mobile hotspot (the number of indexes may be referred to as the number of repeated indexes hereinafter); calculating a quotient obtained from dividing the number of indexes which are included both in the first index encoding result of the candidate mobile POI and the second index encoding result of the mobile hotspot, by a number of indexes included in the second index encoding result of the mobile hotspot; taking a calculation result as a similarity score between the first index encoding result of the candidate mobile POI and the second index encoding result of the mobile hotspot.

That is: the similarity score=box_num/line_box_num;

Here, box_num represents the number of repeated indexes, and line_box_num represents the number of indexes included in the second index encoding result of the mobile hotspot.

For example, the first index encoding result of the candidate mobile POI includes a total of five indexes, namely, index a, index b, index c, index d and index e, respectively, and the second index encoding result of the mobile hotspot includes a total of six indexes, namely, index a, index b, index c, index d, index e and index f respectively, then box_num is 5.

After the scores of respective candidate mobile POIs are obtained respectively, a candidate mobile POI with a highest score may be selected and determined as the mobile POI matched with the mobile hotspot, thereby completing the matching.

Alternatively, in order to further improve the accuracy of the matching result, it is possible to, while the candidate mobile POI with the highest score is determined as the mobile POI corresponding to the mobile hotspot, first judge whether the score of the candidate mobile POI with the highest score is greater than a predetermined threshold, and if yes, determine the candidate mobile POI with the highest score as the mobile POI matched with the mobile hotspot. In other words, under the condition that the score of the candidate mobile POI with the highest score is greater than a predetermined threshold, he candidate mobile POI with the highest score is determined as the mobile POI matched with the mobile hotspot. The specific value of the threshold may be determined according to actual needs.

It is to be noted that, for ease of description, the aforesaid method embodiments are all described as a combination of a series of actions, but those skilled in the art should appreciate that the present disclosure is not limited to the described order of actions since some steps may be performed in other orders or simultaneously according to the present disclosure. Secondly, those skilled in the art should appreciate the embodiments described in the description are only examples, and the involved actions and modules may not necessarily requisite for the present disclosure.

To sum up, according to the solution according to the embodiments of the method, it is unnecessary to employ a special person to provide equipment and training, the thus the implementation cost may be reduced and the processing efficiency may be improved. Furthermore, the mobile hotspot and the mobile POI may be matched based on the similarity between the index encoding results of the mobile hotspot and mobile POI, and thus the accuracy of the processing result may be ensured.

The above introduces the method embodiment. The solution of the present disclosure will be further described through an embodiment of an apparatus.

FIG. 6 is a schematic structural diagram of an apparatus for matching a mobile hotspot with a mobile point of interest according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 6, the apparatus includes: a dividing unit 601, a first processing unit 602, a second processing unit 603 and a matching unit 604.

The dividing unit 601 is configured to divide a spatial region into a plurality of grid cells of a predetermined size, and generate an index for each of the plurality of grid cells.

The first processing unit 602 is configured to, for each mobile POI of a plurality of mobile POIs in the spatial region, determine respectively indexes of grid cells through which a transport route of the mobile POI passes, to obtain a first index encoding result of the mobile POI, and the mobile POI being a transport vehicle having a fixed commuting route.

The second processing unit 603 is configured to, for a mobile hotspot in the spatial region, obtain a movement trajectory of the mobile hotspot, determine respectively indexes of the grid cells through which the movement trajectory passes, to obtain a second index encoding result of the mobile hotspot.

The matching unit 604 is configured to match the mobile hotspot with a mobile POI of the plurality of mobile POIs according to a similarity between the first index encoding result and the second index encoding result.

The spatial region may refer to any spatial region, for example, regard the city of Beijing as a spatial region or the whole country as a spatial region.

The dividing unit 601 may first divide the spatial region according to grid cells of a predetermined size, i.e., may divide the spatial region into a plurality of grid cells of the same size, and may generate the index of each grid cell as a grid cell number. How to generate the index is not limited, but the index of each grid cell needs to be different from indexes of other grid cells, that is, the index of each grid cell is unique.

The first processing unit 602 may, for each mobile POI in the spatial region, determine respectively indexes of grid cells through which the transport route of the mobile POI passes, thereby obtaining the first index encoding result of the mobile POI.

The mobile POI is a transport vehicle having a fixed commuting route, and may include a bus, a subway, a train, and the like. For each mobile POI, its transport route is known. Correspondingly, the grid cells the transport route has passed and thus the index of each grid cell may be determined, and thereby obtain an index encoding result of the mobile POI.

In addition, the second processing unit 603 may, for each mobile hotspot in the spatial region, obtain the movement trajectory of the mobile hotspot, and determine respectively indexes of the grid cells through which the movement trajectory passes, and thereby obtain the second index encoding result of the mobile hotspot.

The second processing unit 603 may determine the movement trajectory of each mobile hotspot according to obtained hotspot information scanned by a user.

A user may report the scanned hotspot information which for example may include scanned media access control (MAC) address of wifi, signal strength, corresponding base station and scanning time, a location point of the user can be known, and then the movement trajectory of each hotspot may be determined by comprehensively considering the hotspot information reported by users within a predetermined time length. All location points of the user corresponding to the same hotspot may constitute the movement trajectory of the hotspot.

The matching unit 604 may match the mobile hotspot with a mobile POI according to the similarity between the first index encoding result and the second index encoding result.

In an embodiment, the first processing unit 602 may further build an inverted index according to the first index encoding results of the plurality of mobile POIs in the spatial region. The inverted index records one or more mobile POIs corresponding to indexes of different grid cells respectively. The corresponding one or more mobile POIs are mobile POIs passing through the different grid cells respectively.

As such, the matching unit 604 may, for each mobile hotspot, perform the following processing: first, selecting one or more candidate mobile POIs corresponding to the mobile hotspot from the plurality of mobile POIs in the spatial region, according to the second index encoding result of the mobile hotspot and the inverted index; selecting a mobile POI matched with the mobile hotspot from the one or more candidate mobile POIs according to the similarity between the first index encoding result of each of the one or more candidate mobile POIs and the second index encoding result of the mobile hotspot.

For example, the matching unit 604 may, for an index of each grid cell in the second index encoding result of the mobile hotspot, determine one or more mobile POIs corresponding to the index by querying the inverted index, and take the determined one or more mobile POIs as the one or more candidate mobile POI corresponding to the mobile hotspot.

The matching unit 604 may calculate a similarity score between the first index encoding result of each candidate mobile POI and the second index encoding result of the mobile hotspot, and determine a candidate mobile POI with a highest score as the mobile POI matched with the mobile hotspot.

Specifically, the matching unit 604 may, for each candidate mobile POI, perform the following processing: determining a number of indexes which are included both in the first index encoding result of the candidate mobile POI and the second index encoding result of the mobile hotspot; calculating a quotient obtained by dividing the number of repeated indexes by the number of indexes included in the second index encoding result of the mobile hotspot; taking a calculation result as a similarity score between the first index encoding result of the candidate mobile POI and the second index encoding result of the mobile hotspot.

The matching unit 604 may, while the candidate mobile POI with the highest score is determined as the mobile POI corresponding to the mobile hotspot, first judge whether the score of the candidate mobile POI with the highest score is greater than a predetermined threshold, and if yes, determine the candidate mobile POI with the highest score as the mobile POI matched with the mobile hotspot. In other words, under the condition that the score of the candidate mobile POI with the highest score is greater than a predetermined threshold, the matching unit 604 determines the candidate mobile POI with the highest score as the mobile POI matched with the mobile hotspot.
