A method and apparatus for predicting a location of a mobile terminal, so as to predict a next location of a target mobile terminal according to history trajectory information of multiple mobile terminals. First, clustering of history trajectory segments of multiple users is acquired to obtain trajectory segment groups, wherein history trajectory segments of a user are obtained by dividing entire history trajectory information of the user. Next, a target trajectory segment group similar to a current trajectory segment of a target user is acquired from the trajectory segment groups. Finally, a next location of the target user is predicted according to trajectory segments in the target trajectory segment group. A history trajectory is divided into multiple history trajectory segments, and each period of time has an independent trajectory segment. Therefore, if a trajectory of a mobile terminal changes at a moment, the change of the trajectory can be rapidly captured, thereby improving the accuracy of a prediction result. |
