Method and apparatus for identifying a target geographic area

1. A method comprising:

identifying one or more users based on a geographic location within a geographic area to be identified and based on locations of the one or more users obtained from at least one location-based service;

acquiring user information associated with the geographic area to be identified, the user information representing the one or more users;

extracting, from the user information, locating information and behavior information associated with the one or more users;

constructing a model representing characteristic data of the user information; and

determining a value parameter of the geographic area to be identified based on the model.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the behavior information includes basic information and preference information, wherein the characteristic data comprises travel characteristic parameters, basic characteristic parameters, and preference characteristic parameters, and wherein determining characteristic data of the user information comprises:

determining a travel characteristic parameter of a user based on locating information associated with the user;

determining a basic characteristic parameter of the user based on the basic information associated with the user; and

determining a preference characteristic parameter of the user based on the preference information associated with the user.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein basic information comprises an age, educational background, and income level information and wherein the preference information comprises brand, taste and consumption preference information.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein determining the value parameter of the geographic area to be identified comprises obtaining the value parameter of the geographic area to be identified by aggregating the characteristic data of the one or more users.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein obtaining the value parameter of the geographic area to be identified by aggregating the characteristic data of the one or more users comprises aggregating travel characteristic parameters of the one or more users, basic characteristic parameters of the one or more users, and preference characteristic parameters of the one or more users.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining whether the geographic area to be identified is a target geographic area based on the value parameter.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein determining whether the geographic area to be identified is a target geographic area based on the value parameter comprises comparing the value parameter with a preset threshold value, and if the value parameter is greater than the preset threshold value, determining that the geographic area to be identified is the target geographic area.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving a query instruction requesting the value parameter of the geographic area to be identified from a client device.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising transmitting the value parameter of the geographic area to be identified to the client device, wherein transmitting the value parameter of the geographic area to be identified causes the display of the value parameter of the geographic area to be identified on an interface of the client device.

10. A apparatus comprising:

one or more processors; and

a non-transitory memory storing computer-executable instructions therein that, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to:

identifying one or more users based on a geographic location within a geographic area to be identified and based on locations of the one or more users obtained from at least one location-based service;

acquire user information associated with the geographic area to be identified, the user information representing the one or more users;

extract, from the user information, locating information and behavior information associated with the one or more users;

construct a model representing characteristic data of the user information; and

determine a value parameter of the geographic area to be identified based on the model data.

11. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the behavior information includes basic information and preference information, wherein the characteristic data comprises travel characteristic parameters, basic characteristic parameters, and preference characteristic parameters, and wherein the instructions causing the apparatus to determine characteristic data of the user information further include instructions causing the apparatus to:

determine a travel characteristic parameter of a user based on locating information associated with the user;

determine a basic characteristic parameter of the user based on the basic information associated with the user; and

determine a preference characteristic parameter of the user based on the preference information associated with the user.

12. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein basic information comprises an age, educational background, and income level information and wherein the preference information comprises brand, taste and consumption preference information.

13. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the instructions causing the apparatus to determine the value parameter of the geographic area to be identified further include instructions causing the apparatus to obtain the value parameter of the geographic area to be identified by aggregating the characteristic data of the one or more users.

14. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the instructions causing the apparatus to obtain the value parameter of the geographic area to be identified by aggregating the characteristic data of the one or more users further include instructions causing the apparatus to aggregate travel characteristic parameters of the one or more users, basic characteristic parameters of the one or more users, and preference characteristic parameters of the one or more users.

15. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the instructions further cause the apparatus to determine whether the geographic area to be identified is a target geographic area based on the value parameter.

16. The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the instructions causing the apparatus to determine whether the geographic area to be identified is a target geographic area based on the value parameter further include instructions causing the apparatus to compare the value parameter with a preset threshold value, and if the value parameter is greater than the preset threshold value, determining that the geographic area to be identified is the target geographic area.

17. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the instructions further cause the apparatus to receive a query instruction requesting the value parameter of the geographic area to be identified from a client device.

18. The apparatus of claim 17 , wherein the instructions further cause the apparatus to transmit the value parameter of the geographic area to be identified to the client device, wherein transmitting the value parameter of the geographic area to be identified causes the display of the value parameter of the geographic area to be identified on an interface of the client device.
