1. A computer implemented method comprising:
- receiving spatial-temporal flow data associated with a first individual, the spatial-temporal flow data comprising spatial-temporal data points;
replacing the spatial-temporal data points with semantic coordinate values, resulting in a first semantic trail being created, wherein the semantic coordinate values identify one or more demographic characteristics; and
determining a similarity of the first semantic trail with a second semantic trail.

Abstract
Systems and computer-implemented methods are provided for comparing, associating and deriving associations between two or more spatial temporal data trails. One or more spatial-temporal data trails comprising one or more places are received at a processor. Each place is identified by a spatial temporal data point. And each spatial-temporal data trail is associated with an individual. The similarity between pairs of places is determined to establish one or more groups of places or one or more groups of individuals. Similarity and/groups can be determined based on demographics associated with the place or individual.

23. A computer implemented method comprising:
-
receiving a location-based data flow associated with a first individual, wherein the location-based data flow comprises spatial-temporal waypoints; associating a demographic profile with the spatial-temporal waypoints; assigning a first demographic-based data flow to the first individual, the first demographic-based data flow being based on the demographic profile; and comparing the first demographic-based data flow assigned to the first individual to a second demographic-based data flow assigned to a second individual. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
