ABSTRACT

Developing location-based services (LBSs) on mobile devices can convey location related information to individual users, thus helping users obtain useful and adaptive information using mobile devices with small screen. Based on the requirement, this study proposes an intelligent location-based service system which can provide local news with summarization to personal handheld PDA (personal digital assistant) device based on user's location. According to experimental results in multi-document summarization and user location identification, news summarization with satisfied quality is up to 86%, and the accuracy rate of user location awareness scheme is up to 90%. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed system can be successfully applied in real-world applications for personalized location-based news services.
