A mobile location-based information recommendation system based on GPS and WEB2.0 services

Combining the GPS location-based services and the latest Web2.0 technologies, this paper builds a scalable personalized mobile information pushing platform, which can provide user-friendly and flexible location-based service. We first propose a Location-based Data and Service Middleware based on Service-Oriented Architecture in order to implement Mobile Information Pushing System involved in a variety of formats of data integration and conversion, as well as a combination of a wide range of services. Then, we propose a novel 3-D Tag-Cloud module, so that it can visualize useful retrieval information even in the limited mobile screen. Especially, we design a multi-dimensional collaborative filtering algorithms, in order to achieve dynamic personalized recommendation and mobile information sharing. Cooperating with some restuarants, we also develop a dynamic restaurant mobile location-based recommendation and discount counpons pushing system. The successful application of the application system do show the efficiency of our ideas.
