Abstract
A computing device generates profiles based on mobile device data. The computing device receives a plurality of mobile device records of a plurality of mobile devices in a region, that each include a timestamp, a location data, and an activity data, and assigns each of the plurality of mobile device records to one of a plurality of space-time boxes. The computing device performs analytics on the mobile device records assigned to the plurality of space-time boxes to yield a resulting plurality of profiles, which can include a mobility profile indicating the number of locations in the region that each mobile device occupies during a span, a hangout profile indicating the number of mobile devices that occupy each location in the region during a span, and a buddy profile indicating the mobile devices that occupy the same location in the region as a given mobile device.
