Method and system to predict and recommend future goal-orientated activity

摘要

One embodiment of the present invention provides a method for recommending activities to a user. During operation, the system determines (310) an activity-type distribution based on the user's personal profile (306) and/or population prior information (308), thereby facilitating prediction of future activities for the user. The system further searches (312) for and receives one or more activities based on the activity-type distribution. The system then scores (314) each received activity and recommends a number of activities to be performed by the user in the future and a number of corresponding venues, based on the activity-type distribution and the weight distribution.
