Abstract
In some embodiments, a method includes: obtaining position information of a wireless hotspot where the user locates, based on hotspot scanning information of wireless hotspots already scanned by the user; acquiring one or more candidate Points of Interest (POIs) close to the wireless hotspot based on the position information; based on characteristic information corresponding to the wireless hotspot and respective candidate POIs, ranking all candidate POIs to determine an POI matching the wireless hotspot, wherein the characteristic information comprises access characteristic information. In some embodiments, the following advantages may be realized: the POI matching the wireless hotspot is obtained based on relevant data that the user scans the wireless hotspot to predict the POI actually accessed by the user without a procedure of manually collecting the data or user feedback, thereby improving the efficiency.
