Semantic trajectories-based social relationships discovery using WiFi monitors
Tóm tắt
Smartphones are configured to automatically send WiFi probe message transmissions (latter called WiFi probes) to surrounding environments to search for available networks. Prior studies have provided evidence that it is possible to uncover social relationships of mobile users by studying time and location information contained in these WiFi probes. However, their approaches miss information about transfer patterns between different locations. In this paper, we argue that places where mobile users have been to should not be considered in isolation. We propose that semantic trajectory should be used to model mobile users and semantic trajectory patterns can well characterize users’ transfer patterns between different locations. Then, we propose a novel semantic trajectory similarity measurement to estimate similarity among mobile users. We deploy WiFi detectors in a university to collect WiFi probes and extract mobile users’ semantic trajectories from the dataset. Through experimental evaluation, we demonstrate that the proposed semantic trajectory similarity measurement is effective. Furthermore, we experimentally show that the proposed trajectory similarity measurement can be used to exploit underlying social networks existing in the university, as well as infer specific type of social relationships between a pair of mobile users by further studying their matching trajectory points.
