Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to the information automation field, relate in particular to and be used to mobile device that location-based service method is provided.
Background technology
Location-based service (LBS location based service) provides information to mobile device user according to the current physical location of mobile device user, for example the information in sales promotion or fresh arrivals, near restaurant, road indication and transport information in the nearby stores.
But it is restricted using location-based service, mainly is because two factors: the A) inexactness of indoor positioning; And B) need upgrade to software and/or hardware.
For factor A), accurate outdoor navigation system (for example global position system GPS) can not accurately be worked in indoor environment (for example shopping mall, conference centre, airport), and because the obstacle barrier can not accurately be worked in the city that has been crowded with skyscrapers (such as Shanghai, Hong Kong).Another mode is to determine the position of mobile device by the honeycomb that the identification mobile device connects.But this provides the accuracy that reaches kilometer.
For factor B), other solution has been proposed, so that the time or the transmission of angle of the signal that receives from a plurality of a plurality of equipment with known location by measurements and calculations to provide more accurate localization for mobile device.But software and/or the hardware in the existing mobile device on the market is installed or revised to these solution requirements, the quantity that this may the limited target client.
Exercise question authorizes and transfers Nick Papadoglou and HarisZisimopoulos for the patent GB2428349 of " Location based provision of content " on January 24th, 2007, this patent disclosure a kind of service method that provides, this service has the content that is suitable for position of mobile equipment.In the time of near the mobile subscriber moves to point of interest, the wireless senser microplate that is deployed in the there triggers a message and gives sensor network gateway, thereby this sensor network gateway transfers via the honeycomb telecommunication network message relevant with physical location to be sent to mobile device with aspect content of announcement server.
There are three factors can limit the application of said method.At first, session initiation protocol (SIP) software that existing mobile device need be installed modification on the market and the extra wireless device of communicating by letter of being used for the wireless senser microplate.The second, the wireless senser microplate of deployment is connected to sensor network gateway via radio communication.This need add wireless frequency spectrum, thereby may increase cost and be restricted.The 3rd, via cellular network the message relevant with physical location is sent to mobile device, this can introduce delay and take the Web broadcast time (airtime).
Summary of the invention
Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of improving one's methods of location-based service that be used for, this can simplify deployment and more accurate information is provided, and perhaps is at least the selection that the public provides usefulness.
According to an aspect of the present invention, a kind ofly provide location-based service method, comprise step: receive request by short-distance wireless communication from mobile device by short-distance communication equipment, to ask location-based service to mobile device; The known physical position address of short-distance communication equipment is inserted in the request that is received; The request that will be inserted with physical position address by long haul communication sends to content server from described short-distance communication equipment; Content server provides the information of location-based service according to the physical position address that is received; By long haul communication the information of the location-based service that provided is sent to described mobile device with content server.
There are three main advantages in said method.At first, most of existing mobile device does not need to revise or upgrade their software or hardware on the market.Secondly, the junction service equipment of being disposed is followed the tracks of for data collection and customer location does not need the wireless frequency spectrum that adds.The 3rd, the message relevant with physical location directly sends to mobile device from the short haul connection position, and this can shorten delay and can not take the Web broadcast time.
