Discovering User Location Semantics Using Mobile Notification Handling Behaviour

Abstract

We analyse data from a longitudinal study of 44 participants, including notification handling, device state and location information. We demonstrate that it is possible to semantically label a user’s location based on their notification handling behaviour, even when location coordinates are obfuscated so as not to precisely match known venue locations. Privacy-preserving semantic labelling of a user’s location can be useful for the contextually-relevant handling of interruptions and service delivery on mobile devices.
