EASYGO - A public transport query and guiding LBS
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hong Kong is a highly urbanized city with a very complicated public transport system. Local residents and tourists rely heavily on public transport for everyday travelling. To assist people in making better use of the public transport system, a multi-modal public transport query and guiding LBS system for mobile users is developed. This system can automatically determine the mobile device position with cellular network positioning technology, and with the user-defined destination, optimal traveling routes in terms of shortest travelling time and lowest fare are suggested. An overview of this system with emphasis on the system user interface, integration of GIS and mobile positioning technology are discussed in this paper.

Privacy Preserving Location-Based Service Protocol
Location-based service (LBS) is booming up in recent years with the rapid growth of mobile devices and the emerging of cloud computing paradigm. Along with the challenges to establish LBS and the user privacy issue becomes the most important concern. So successful privacy-preserving LBS must be secure and provide accurate query results. In this paper we present a solution to one of the location...
متن کاملLocation Based Authentication of KNN Queries with Location and Query Privacy
In mobile communication, spatial queries pose a serious threat to user location privacy because the location of a query may reveal sensitive information about the mobile user. In this paper, study approximate k nearest neighbor (kNN) queries where the mobile user queries the location-based service (LBS) provider about approximate k nearest points of interest (POIs) on the basis of his current l...
متن کاملEvaluating k Nearest Neighbor Query on Road Networks with no Information Leakage
The development of positioning technologies and pervasiveness of mobile devices make an upsurge of interest in location based services (LBS). The k nearest neighbor(kNN) query in road networks is an important query type in LBS and has many real life applications, such as map service. However, such query requires the client to disclose sensitive location information to the LBS. The only existing...

Location-based services (LBS) provide content that is dynamically customized according to the user’s location. These services are commonly delivered to mobile devices. Due to wireless bandwidth limit, broadcasting based transmission technology is one of main methods to provide dynamic real-time information or public emergency for commercial LBS applications. Multimedia Broadcast and Multicast S...
متن کاملTowards a Taxonomy of Location Based Services
Location-based services (LBS) constitute an emerging application domain involving spatio-temporal databases. In this paper, i) we propose a classification of LBS, depending on whether the user (query object) and the data objects are moving or not and ii) we provide algorithms for the efficient support of real applications, for every class. We also survey recent work in query processing for the ...
