Extracting Temporal Behavior Patterns of Mobile User

Finding prevalent mobile user patterns in large amount of data has been one of the major problems in the area of mobile data mining. Particularly, the algorithms of discovering frequent user's behavior patterns in the mobile agent system have been studied extensively in recent years. The key feature in most of these algorithms is that they use a location log dataset with user's requested services. In this case, some problems occur because they do not consider that mobile user's behavior patterns are dynamically variable as time passes. In this paper, we propose a novel data mining method based on temporal mobile access patterns that can efficiently discover mobile user's behavior patterns. An advantage of our method compactly stores user's behavior patterns according to location log dataset and requested services in memory. Thus, even the information datasets require large shared memory when they store, our approach still provides faster access and consume less memory than existing techniques.
