Abstract

We propose a probabilistic method for context prediction of mobile users based on their historic context data. The proposed method predicts general context based on the probability theory through a novel graphical data structure, which is a kind of weighted directed multi-graphs. User context data are transformed into the new graphical structure, in which each node represents a context or a combined context and each directed edge indicates a context transfer with the time weight inferred from corresponding time data. The periodic property of context data is also considered. We bring a nice solution to context data with such property. Through simulation, we could show the merits of the proposed method.
