Location-based story telling for mobile tourist

An increased availability and technological advances of mobile devices open up a number of ways to enable the delivery of context-aware information. In particular, position-aware context is increasingly applied to a number of mobile services. This article discusses a position-aware automated context delivery to a mobile user. As a concrete field of a mobile applications, we investigate mobile tourist (MT) service. We propose a relational model for location based story generation about points of interest for MT. Parameters for a story are MT position, preset preferences by a MT, and various relationships among points of interest through their content data such as facts, categories, and keywords. We build a prototype system for Aalborg city to validate our approach. The paper presents the most important algorithms for a dynamic story generator
