Abstract

The present disclosure relates to information processing methods, apparatus, and systems. In one example method, a first network element receives data analytics information from a first data analytics network element, where the data analytics information includes one or more of an identifier of a first terminal, activity degree information of the first terminal, moving trajectory information of the first terminal, and first risk information of the first terminal. The first network element determines an association relationship between the first terminal and an emergency event based on the data analytics information.

Claims (38)

1. A method applied for a first data analytics network element, comprising:

obtaining reference data analytics information corresponding to second terminal from a second data analytics network element, wherein the second terminal comprises at least one terminal residing in a target area during a target period and wherein the reference data analytics information is determined by the second data analytics network element;

determining data analytics information corresponding to a first terminal based on the reference data analytics information corresponding to the second terminal, wherein the first terminal comprises at least one terminal that belongs to the second terminal and currently resides in a to-be-assessed area; and

sending the data analytics information corresponding to the first terminal to a first network element.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a first request message from the first network element, wherein the first request message requests the data analytics information corresponding to the first terminal.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the first request message comprises information of the target area and information of the target period.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the first request message further comprises information of the to-be-assessed area.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the first request message further comprises an identifier of the first terminal.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

obtaining data corresponding to one of the first terminal in the to-be-assessed area, wherein the data comprises at least one of service behavior information, location information, or moving trajectory information.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the moving trajectory information comprises at least one of location information, a time point of entering a location range corresponding to the location information, or stay duration in the location range.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein determining the data analytics information corresponding to the first terminal based on the reference data analytics information corresponding to the second terminal comprises:

determining the data analytics information corresponding to the first terminal based on the reference data analytics information from the second data analytics network element and the data corresponding to the first terminal in the to-be-assessed area.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the reference data analytics information corresponding to the second terminal comprises at least one of identifiers of the second terminal, a quantity of the second terminal, reference activity degree information of the second terminal, reference moving trajectory information of the second terminal, reference risk information of the second terminal, aggregated reference activity degree information of the second terminal, aggregated reference moving trajectory information of the second terminal, or aggregated reference risk information of the second terminal.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the target area is served by the second data analytics network element, and the to-be-assessed area is served by the first data analytics network element.

11. An apparatus, comprising:

a non-transitory memory comprising instructions, and one or more processors in communication with the memory, wherein the one or more processors execute the instructions to:

obtain reference data analytics information corresponding to second terminal from a second data analytics network element, wherein the second terminal comprises at least one terminal residing in a target area during a target period and wherein the reference data analytics information is determined by the second data analytics network element;

determine data analytics information corresponding to a first terminal based on the reference data analytics information corresponding to the second terminal, wherein the first terminal comprises at least one terminal that belongs to the second terminal and currently resides in a to-be-assessed area; and

send the data analytics information corresponding to the first terminal to a first network element.

12. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the one or more processors further execute the instructions to:

receive a first request message from the first network element, wherein the first request message requests the data analytics information corresponding to the first terminal.

13. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the first request message comprises information of the target area and information of the target period.

14. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the first request message comprises information of the to-be-assessed area.

15. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the one or more processors further execute the instructions to:

obtain data corresponding to one of the first terminal in the to-be-assessed area, wherein the data comprises at least one of service behavior information, location information, or moving trajectory information.

16. The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the moving trajectory information comprises at least one of location information, a time point of entering a location range corresponding to the location information, or stay duration in the location range.

17. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein determine data analytics information corresponding to a first terminal based on the reference data analytics information of the second terminal comprises:

determine data analytics information corresponding to the first terminal based on the reference data analytics information from the second data analytics network element and the data corresponding to the first terminal in the to-be-assessed area.

18. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the reference data analytics information corresponding to the second terminal comprises at least one of identifiers of the second terminal, a quantity of the second terminal, reference activity degree information of the second terminal, reference moving trajectory information of the second terminal, reference risk information of the second terminal, aggregated reference activity degree information of the second terminal, aggregated reference moving trajectory information of the second terminal, or aggregated reference risk information of the second terminal.

19. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the target area is served by the second data analytics network element, the to-be-assessed area is served by the apparatus.

20. A communication system, comprising:

a first data analytics network element, configured to:

obtain reference data analytics information corresponding to a second terminal from a second data analytics network element, wherein the second terminal comprises at least one terminal residing in a target area during a target period;

determine data analytics information corresponding to a first terminal based on the reference data analytics information corresponding to the second terminal, wherein the first terminal comprises at least one terminal that belongs to the second terminal and currently resides in a to-be-assessed area; and

send the data analytics information corresponding to the first terminal to a first network element; and

the second data analytics network element, configured to send the reference data analytics information corresponding to the second terminal to the first data analytics network element.
