Abstract
The present disclosure provides a method and apparatus for determining relationship between POIs. The method comprises: obtaining a WiFi fingerprint uploaded by the user, the WiFi fingerprint comprising information of a wireless access point AP listing at a location where the user lies; determining a POI corresponding to each AP in each WiFi fingerprint; if the number of times that APs respectively corresponding to any two POIs occur in the same WiFi fingerprint exceeds a first threshold, determining the two POIs as being in a neighboring relationship. The solution of the present disclosure may be employed to save costs of manpower and material resources and improve accuracy of information.
