Abstract:
Mobile devices can provide app recommendations that are relevant to a location of interest. A localized app recommendation can be triggered (e.g., by a mobile device coming within a threshold distance of an application hotspot or some other user action). A location of interest can be determined. The location of interest can be the current location of the mobile device or another location (e.g., the destination in a mapping app). Using the location of interest, a localized application ranking database with app hotspot data can be queried with location data representing the location of interest. App recommendations can be received and displayed on the mobile device. Icons for apps that are relevant to the location of interest can be visually distinguished from other apps.
Abstract:
Mobile Vorrichtungen können App-Empfehlungen bereitstellen, die für einen Ort relevant sind, der von Interesse ist. Eine lokalisierte App-Empfehlung kann ausgelöst werden (z. B. durch eine mobile Vorrichtung, die innerhalb eines Schwellenabstands eines Anwendungs-Hotspots gerät, oder eine andere Benutzer-Aktion). Ein Ort, der von Interesse ist, kann bestimmt werden. Der Ort, der von Interesse ist, kann der derzeitige Ort der mobilen Vorrichtung oder ein anderer Ort sein (z. B. ein Ziel in einer Karten-App). Unter Verwendung des Orts, der von Interesse ist, kann eine Ranking-Datenbank lokalisierter Anwendungen mit App-Hotspot-Daten abgefragt werden mit Ortsdaten, die den Ort repräsentieren, der von Interesse ist. App-Empfehlungen können empfangen und auf der mobilen Vorrichtung angezeigt werden. Icons für Apps, die für den Ort relevant sind, der von Interesse ist, können von anderen Apps visuell unterschieden werden.

Abstract:
Apps may be tagged with location data when they are used. Mobile device may anonymously submit app usage data. Aggregated app usage data from many mobile devices may be analyzed to determine apps that are particularly relevant to a given location (i.e., exhibiting a high degree of localization). Analysis may include determining the app usage intensity, whether hotspots exist or not at a given location, the spatial entropy of a particular app, the device populations in a particular area, etc. Based on the localized app analysis, apps may be ranked according to local relevance, and, based on this ranking, app recommendations may be provided to a user.
