Abstract

We propose a system called InfoScape for exploring large histories of user behavior including location data (latitude and longitude). User behavior patterns are created from the histories of user behavior from data sources such as life logs. The browser of this system can find user behavior patterns by a query for a user behavior pattern. Currently, the histories of user behavior consist of 9,324 records. As a result, this study investigates the most effective conditions for the operation of this system working and demonstrates with factors are location and time for creating user behavior-based feature patterns.
