Zusammenfassung:A method includes receiving location reports indicating locations of mobile devices associated with users of an internet platform, registering a count for each location report, determining, for each location report received from a mobile device, a recent location report received from the mobile device indicating a previous location and registering a transition for each of a paired location report and recent location report, corresponding to a pair of locations. The method includes counting a number of transitions corresponding to a particular pair of locations and determining common transitions by comparing the number of transitions to a threshold value. The method includes comparing a location report received from a user's mobile device with location reports included in common transitions, and predicting, based on the comparison, a likelihood the user will arrive at a particular place within a particular time period or a likelihood that the user was at a particular place within a particular time before the current time.
