Abstract:
The explosive growth of location-detection
devices, wireless communications, and mobile
internet has resulted in the realization of locationbased
services as commercial products and
research prototypes. Unfortunately, current
location based applications are rigid as they are
completely isolated from various concepts of user
“preferences” and/or “context”. In this paper, we
introduce the system of Location Based Service
and Contextual Preference Aware (LBSCPA, for
short) on Mobile Platform that delivers services to
its users based on the current location and users’
preferences. LBSCPA goes beyond the traditional
scheme of “one size fits all” of existing locationaware
database systems. Instead, LBSCPA tailors
its functionalities and services based on the
preference of each user. LBSCPA provides a
restaurant finder application in which LBSCPA
does not base its choice of restaurants solely on
the user location. Instead, LBSCPA will base its
choice on both the user location and user
preferences. Moreover, depends on current user’s
location and preferences, restaurant’s information
will be provided dynamically. LBSCAP results one
optimal restaurant that has largest overall
priority.
