METHOD FOR CLUSTERING POSITION POINTS OF INTEREST AND RELATED DEVICE

Embodiments of the present invention disclose a clustering method for a point of interest and a related apparatus. The clustering method for a point of interest includes: acquiring a locating point set of a user within a preset period; generating a stay point set according to the locating point set, where each stay point in the stay point set represents one hot area, and the foregoing hot area meets the following conditions: a distance between geographic locations of any two locating points in the hot area is less than a higher locating precision in locating precisions of the two locating points, and a maximum value of a time interval between locating points in the hot area is greater than a preset time threshold; calculating a confidence level of each stay point in the stay point set; obtaining a trusted stay point from the stay point set by means of screening according to the confidence level of each stay point in the stay point set; and clustering density-connected trusted stay points to form a point of interest. By using technical solutions provided in the present invention, reliability and reference value of a POI can be effectively improved.
