User Activity Range Determination via Moving State Differentiation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for determining user activity range are inaccurate due to reliance on subjective user inputs, leading to incomplete and incorrect geographical location identification, which affects the precision of information recommendations.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that differentiate between two moving states (low-speed lingering and high-speed traffic states) to collect and combine geographical location information, using a terminal device and satellite positioning technology to automatically determine the user activity range by distinguishing between static and dynamic location data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If manual marking of frequented places and activity routes on a map is used, then user activity range can be determined, but the accuracy of geographical location identification deteriorates due to subjective factors
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the manual mechanical marking process with an automated electronic system that uses terminal devices to collect location data and automatically determines activity ranges through algorithmic processing, eliminating subjective human factors while maintaining precision through technological measurement
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service by allowing the terminal device to automatically collect location information and determine activity ranges without requiring manual user input, with the device serving itself to gather and process its own location data through sensors and positioning systems
2Ease of operation
If subjective factors of user are used to draw activity range, then ease of operation is improved, but measurement precision deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces subjective human judgment and manual drawing operations with automated electronic systems that objectively measure and calculate activity ranges using sensor data and positioning information, eliminating the trade-off between ease of operation and measurement precision
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces terminal devices as intermediaries between the user and the activity range determination process, where the device objectively collects location data and processes it through algorithms to determine activity ranges, removing subjective human factors while maintaining operational simplicity

AI summary
A method for determining user activity range includes: determining a moving state of a user; determining, when the moving state of the user is a first state, geographical location information of the user corresponding to the first state; determining, when the moving state of the user is a second state, a geographical location information set of the user corresponding to the second state; and collecting, in a first predetermined time period, geographical location information of the user corresponding to at least one first state, and a geographical location information set of the user corresponding to at least one second state, and combining the geographical location information of the user determined in the first state in the first predetermined time period with the geographical location information set of the user determined in the second state in the first predetermined time period, so as to determine a user activity range.
