1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

  • determining one or more location and time period pairs for a subject user, each defining a previous location of the subject user and a time period during which the subject user was at the previous location;

    obtaining, for a plurality of location and time period pairs of the one or more location and time period pairs, a plurality of historical aggregate profiles for a corresponding plurality of sub-bands within the time period defined by each location and time period pair in the plurality of location and time period pairs; and

    creating a user profile for the subject user based on the plurality of historical aggregate profiles for the corresponding plurality of sub-bands by, for each location and time period pair in the plurality of location and timer periods of the one or more location and time period pairs;

    combining the plurality of historical aggregate profiles for the plurality of sub-bands within the time period defined by the location and time period pair based on relevancy ratings for the plurality of sub-bands to provide a consolidated profile for the location and time period pair by merging at least a subset of each historical aggregate profile of the plurality of historical aggregate profiles into the consolidated profile for the location and time period pair if the relevancy rating for one of the plurality of sub-bands that corresponds to the historical aggregate profile is greater than or equal to a predefined cut-off value,wherein at least one of the preceding actions is performed on at least one electronic hardware component.
