Abstract

Current smart phones can easily detect the geographic location, but very often applications are more interested in the meaning of the location for the user. In this paper we present the Zonezz platform that identifies meaningful locations such as 'home' or 'work'. It provides an easy to understand context model and fully runs on a mobile device without the need for a central service. Other apps can use this platform to create context-awareness. We show the benefits of this platform with the help of a context-aware calendar tool.
