Abstract

A method of user proportion investigation and population estimation in a region for mobile communication operators, including the following steps: S1. completing a WiFi network construction in the region; S2. a mobile phone user in the region sending a verification code request for WiFi login to a background by using a client; S3. the background receiving the request from the user, and recording a mobile phone number and a request time of the user; S4. the background completing an identification and classification processing of the operator of the mobile phone number, and obtaining the user proportion in the region for the communication operators within a set period of time; and S5. calculating a population amount in the region according to a number of mobile phone signaling provided by one mobile communication operator thereof and the user proportion in the region for the corresponding communication operator obtained in S4.

Claims (10)

1. A method of user proportion investigation and population estimation in a region for mobile communication operators, comprising:

S1. completing a WiFi network construction in the region;

S2. a mobile phone user in the region sending a verification code request for WiFi login to a background by using a client;

S3. the background receiving the request from the user, and recording a mobile phone number and a request time of the user;

S4. the background completing an identification and classification processing of the operator of the mobile phone number, and obtaining the user proportion in the region for the communication operators within a set period of time; and

S5. calculating a population amount in the region according to a number of mobile phone signaling provided by one mobile communication operator thereof and the user proportion in the region for the corresponding communication operator obtained in S4.

2. The method of user proportion investigation and population estimation in the region for mobile communication operators according to claim 1 , wherein the WiFi network employs a verification code approach, and WiFi identity authentication is independent on a specific protocol and a specific WiFi device manufacturer.

3. The method of user proportion investigation and population estimation in the region for mobile communication operators according to claim 1 , wherein the mobile phone user sends the verification code request to the background, and after the client connects to a WiFi hotspot in the region, a browser of the client is directed to an identity authentication page, and the user inputs a mobile phone number to obtain the verification code.

4. The method of user proportion investigation and population estimation in the region for mobile communication operators according to claim 1 , wherein comprises: the background identifies the operator that records the mobile phone number in S3, and obtains the user proportion in the region for each communication operator within the set period of time.

5. The method of user proportion investigation and population estimation in the region for mobile communication operators according to claim 1 , wherein calculating the population amount in S5 comprises: dividing the number of mobile phone signaling of one mobile communication operator in the region within the set period of time by the user proportion measured in the region for the operator to obtain an estimation amount of population aggregation in the region.
