A location based mobile news feed system(The proposed name of the system is active.be) generates customized user generated news feed for Android Mobile users on their spatial (current location or future locations) and non-spatial preference(interests). The currently existing system sends geo-tagged messages to its users by simply matching the similar content. One of the major drawbacks of this existing approach is that, the news feed may contain messages related to the same location or the same category of interest choices. It is very important to make the news feed diversified, so that the user will not receive the messages from same category of choices. A diversified mobile feed is proposed to solve this issue. A diversified mobile news feed system helps users explore news interests and activities. This location based news feed system asks a user to mention the minimum number of choices for categories to diversify the news feed which is called h-diversified function. The main aim is to efficiently generate a news feed for users for their current and future locations, so that (i) the news feed which has updates generated according to users preferences (ii) a relevance measurer which maximizes the relevance of each update to the user. To achieve this objective we divided the problem into two parts. A decision problem, which makes a decision and proves the correctness of the problem. The optimization problem is solved by a three stage heuristic algorithm, which effectively improves the relevance, efficiency and efficiency of news feed.
