Traveler recommendations

Abstract

One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for providing recommendations to travelers are provided. For example, locational data associated with a device of a user is evaluated to identify a set of location points at which the device was located over time. Location point pairings are generated from the set of location points, where a location point pairing may comprise a departure location point and an arrival location point. The location point pairings are filtered based upon various criteria to remove location point pairings that are not indicative of air flight travel (e.g., a location point pairing not satisfying an air flight speed threshold or an air flight travel distance threshold). The user may be determined as an air flight traveler that has recently used air flight travel to reach a destination location. A recommendation of content for the destination location is provided to the user.

         1 . A method, comprising:
 evaluating locational data to identify a travel time of a device of a user from a first location to a second location;   determining an average speed of the device traveling from the first location to the second location based upon the travel time and a distance between the first location and the second location;   determining whether the average speed corresponds to a first mode of transportation or a second mode of transportation; and   at least one of:
 responsive to the average speed corresponding to the first mode of transportation:
 identifying first content based upon the first mode of transportation; and 
 providing a first recommendation, of the first content, to the user; or 
 
 responsive to the average speed corresponding to the second mode of transportation:
 identifying second content based upon the second mode of transportation; and 
 providing a second recommendation, of the second content, to the user. 
 
   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the locational data comprises global positioning system (GPS) data received from the device of the user. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the locational data comprises at least one of longitude data or latitude data received from the device of the user. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the locational data comprises one or more internet protocol (IP) addresses received from the device of the user. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the locational data comprises social network check-in data associated with the user. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the determining whether the average speed corresponds to the first mode of transportation or the second mode of transportation is performed using a first data structure correlating speeds of travel to modes of transportation. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the first data structure indicates a first range of speeds associated with the first mode of transportation and a second range of speeds associated with the second mode of transportation. 
     
     
         8 . A computing device comprising:
 a processor; and   memory comprising processor-executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause performance of operations, the operations comprising:
 evaluating locational data to identify a travel time of a device of a user from a first location to a second location; 
 determining an average speed of the device traveling from the first location to the second location based upon the travel time and a distance between the first location and the second location; 
 determining whether the average speed corresponds to a first mode of transportation or a second mode of transportation; and 
 at least one of:
 responsive to the average speed corresponding to the first mode of transportation:
 identifying first content based upon the first mode of transportation; and 
 providing a first recommendation, of the first content, to the user; or 
 
 responsive to the average speed corresponding to the second mode of transportation:
 identifying second content based upon the second mode of transportation; and 
 providing a second recommendation, of the second content, to the user. 
 
 
   
     
     
         9 . The computing device of  claim 8 , wherein the locational data comprises global positioning system (GPS) data received from the device of the user. 
     
     
         10 . The computing device of  claim 8 , wherein the locational data comprises at least one of longitude data or latitude data received from the device of the user. 
     
     
         11 . The computing device of  claim 8 , wherein the locational data comprises one or more internet protocol (IP) addresses received from the device of the user. 
     
     
         12 . The computing device of  claim 8 , wherein the locational data comprises social network check-in data associated with the user. 
     
     
         13 . The computing device of  claim 8 , wherein the determining whether the average speed corresponds to the first mode of transportation or the second mode of transportation is performed using a first data structure correlating speeds of travel to modes of transportation. 
     
     
         14 . The computing device of  claim 13 , wherein the first data structure indicates a first range of speeds associated with the first mode of transportation and a second range of speeds associated with the second mode of transportation. 
     
     
         15 . A non-transitory machine readable medium having stored thereon processor-executable instructions that when executed cause performance of operations, the operations comprising:
 evaluating locational data to identify a travel time of a device of a user from a first location to a second location;   determining an average speed of the device traveling from the first location to the second location based upon the travel time and a distance between the first location and the second location;   determining whether the average speed corresponds to a first mode of transportation or a second mode of transportation; and   at least one of:
 responsive to the average speed corresponding to the first mode of transportation:
