Claim:
1. A method for generating data in a missing segment of a target time data sequence of discrete data points, the method comprising: determining whether there is a breakpoint in the missing segment, wherein the determining is based on a reference time data sequence having a logical similarity to the target time data sequence, wherein the logical similarity is based on, at least, receiving time stamp data associated with the time data sequence and receiving user location data via a global positioning system (GPS) associated with the target time data sequence, and based on determining whether there is a breakpoint in a reference segment of the reference time data sequence, the reference segment corresponding to the missing segment; determining candidate values of the data in the missing segment, wherein determining the candidate values of the data in the missing segment includes: generating values of the data in the missing segment by selectively using the candidate values of the data in the missing segment, according to whether there is the breakpoint in the missing segment; wherein the breakpoint is a difference value, above a threshold, between a first reference data in the reference time data sequence and a second reference data in the reference time data sequence.
