Data-Driven Geofencing Design for Point-of-Interest Notifiers Utilizing Genetic Algorithm
This study proposes a method for generating geofences driven by GPS trajectory data to realize scalable point-of-interest (POI) notifiers, encouraging walking tourists to discover new local spots. The case study revealed that manual geofence settings degrade the location relevance and user coverage—key objectives of POI notifiers—and hinder the scalability and reliability of services. The formalization presented computationally equips geofence de…
Mobile Collaborative Heatmapping to Infer Self-Guided Walking Tourists’ Preferences for Geomedia
This paper proposes a model-less feedback system driven by tourist tracking data that are automatically collected through mobile applications to visualize the gap between geomedia recommendations and the actual routes selected by tourists. High-frequency GPS data essentially make it difficult to interpret the semantic importance of hot spots and the presence of street-level features on a density map. Our mobile collaborative framework reorganizes…
Articulated Trajectory Mapping for Reviewing Walking Tours
This paper addresses how to enrich a map-based representation for reviewing walking tours with the features of trajectory mapping and tracing animation. Generally, a trajectory generated by raw GPS data can often be difficult to browse through on a map. To resolve this issue, we first illustrated tangled trajectory lines, inaccurate indoor positioning, and unstable trajectory lines as problems encountered when mapping raw trajectory data. Then, w…
Location-Based Applications Using Analog Maps for Sustainable Local Tourism Information Services
Conventional paper-based tourist maps are still created and provided by many local tourism organizations, as they have advantages in representing highly detailed and contextual information, although the static medium limits the functions of such maps. To benefit these analog maps from location-aware environments, interactivity, and data feedback from mobile devices, a sustainable ecosystem for local tourist maps is proposed. A low-cost solution f…
Location-Based Illustration Mapping Applications and Editing Tools
Although commercial Web mapping is popular now, illustrated maps are widely used in print media and have advantages. The immeasurable distortions of illustrated maps create difficulties when applying them in location-based services. Based on previous research, the authors propose an improved framework for supporting illustrated maps to be integrated with GPS functions in smartphones, and positioning methods are discussed. Mobile tools and applica…
A User Study of a Map-Based Slideshow Editor
Our research goal is to facilitate the sharing of stories with digital maps. Today, many kinds of “my map” applications allow users to create maps that display personal collections of places visited, along with photographs, videos, and texts. The authors of such maps can organize and publish their collections of places by creating maps, and viewers can browse these collections freely by panning and zooming the maps or searching by location. It is…
Place-tagged Podcasts with Synchronized Maps on Mobile Media Players
PodWalks are a new kind of Podcasts where virtual narrators guide users through real-world spaces. PodWalks can increase a user's appreciation of real spaces by connecting them to audio tours stored on portable media players that can be listened to any time and anywhere without using mobile telecommunication services. One disadvantage of PodWalks is that it can be difficult for listeners to synchronize their locations with the location that the n…
