Abstract

The invention relates to a method for bringing together (matching) request profiles in real time in terms of content and/or geographical position, using telecommunication networks, for example, mobile radio networks and/or fixed networks.

Description

State of the art

It is known, however, with a terminal designed as a mobile radio device also via specified landline telephones to call, for example, weather results, weather reports, seasons and Let titles be announced for cinemas, emergency doctors and much more.

task

The invention has for its object a method for merging (Matching) requirement profiles in real time with regard to content and / or geo creating graphical position.  

solution

The object is achieved by the features reproduced in claim 1 solved.

Inventive embodiments are in the claims 2 to 27 be wrote.

The aim of the method according to the invention is to meet two enable and support multiple object profiles. Here who the two or more profiles together in terms of content and / or geographically leads. Thus, in the simplest form, the method according to the invention exists Ren in principle from two process steps, namely from a criteria control er search and administration functionality and on the other hand from a spatial (Geographically) controlled search functionality.

The user first creates a personal object profile using an input device for example for any location and second is the desired profile of the searched object. There is also a catalog of measures in which chem determines what should happen when the searched object is found has been. A user can create and maintain several of their own object profiles. Similarly, it is also possible to see several foreign object profiles at the same time and monitor.  

The method according to the invention can, for example, be designed as a dating service and is based on a platform which, for example, also enables the following services in principle:

• a) Development of a spot market for goods (local / regional / international)
• b) Development of a spot market for services (lo kal / regional / international)
• c) mobile (dynamic and direct) delivery of goods and services stungen
• d) dynamic (ad hoc) opinion polls and market research
• e) virtual events

For example, the method according to the invention is able to handle a large football event to ensure that a flying dealer, the Ge have run out of drinks, via his mobile device the location nearest supplier and determines whether the desired Ge potions are in stock there. He can then immediately process the drinks request and have them delivered in a targeted and timely manner.  

Furthermore, it is also possible to find a partner with the fiction to search for and find appropriate procedures by making a profit from the requirements (for example hair color, eye color, inclinations, previous education) created and over a mobile device searches and finds the person in question in real time. you can, for example, use this procedure to specify that one is in a voted city and located there in a certain neighborhood and then the person you want to meet is looking for in that borough or they bun to search far or in another country. The then searched and ge Found person can release their data so that the mutual profiles too can meet, that is, there is a "dating".

The service is principally independent of the operator and technology and can therefore be accessed via several mobile phone networks are offered, both domestically and in Foreign countries. A service / network operator only needs a standardized protocol use for profile and location information.

The creation and maintenance of object profiles as well as the display of Search results and the statistical analyzes are carried out via voice identifier) and / or data connection. The connection can be made via mobile radio, Fixed network or DSL (broadband) can be established.

A soft searches based on the requirements specified in the object profile ware-Robot a participant database. The search is caused by events gently, which lead to changes in the database.  

Through an automatic result, event and hit evaluation, the Robot rule-based knowledge and optimizes the functionality with fuzzy logic naturalness of future search behavior. Each object profile is logically clear assigned a robot. A robot, however, can have several per participant Operate object profiles simultaneously and in real time.

As for the geographic search mechanism, the one in Ob project requirements, including temporal and spatial Search parameters, a robot a geographic area (depending on the Search position) with a specified catch radius. The geographical. Position is obtained through a location query. The Ab question is initiated once, periodically or continuously initiated by the user or the service provider. This search is through events, self movement or Foreign movement also causes changes in the database or could lead to a match of the object profiles. Any object profile a robot is logically assigned. One robot can have several per participant Operate object profiles simultaneously and in real time.

As far as the location in the mobile network is concerned, an essential component of the service is the geographic position of the subscriber. The positioning is carried out using standard-based location procedures. The following GSM standards generally apply:
3GPP 22.071 v.3.2.0 R'99
GSM 03.71 v7.0.0 R'98 / Stage 2 , LCS Functional Description
3GPP 22.043 v3.0.1 R'99

The above-described versions are possible in detail. in principle can be located on request or by continuously querying the posi tion.

As far as the so-called Cell Global Identification (CGI) is concerned, the Lo Calibration based on the Cell ID. Regarding CGI + Timing Advance (CGI + TA) in addition to the Cell ID, the TA parameter for localizing the Mo radio equipment can be used. The TA parameter gives the distance of the Mobile device from the base station with an accuracy of about 550 Meters. It is determined by the base station based on the signal transit time.

The uplink time of arrival (U-TOA) measures the transmission times of a signal from the mobile device to three or more location measures Units (LMUs). Based on the transmission times, the distance of the Mobile device to the LMUs and via triangulation the position of the handset determine with an accuracy of about 125 meters.

As an alternative to network-based location, it can also be based on the end device a positioning can be carried out. The details are described below possible. With the so-called enhanced-observed time  Difference (E-OTD) measures the handset in synchronized networks Signal transmission time from several (at least three) base stations and he uses triangulation to average the position of the handset with accuracy of about 125 meters. In non-synchronized networks, one additionally measures LMU the signal transmission time and determines the time difference of the base station NEN.

A method relating to Network Assisted GPS (A-GPS) can also be used, where supporting GPS information via GSM network to the handset be transmitted.

Regarding the. Security and data protection aspects can essentially be listed as follows:

• a) Object profiles (may contain personal data)
• b) current location
• c) Place of residence / place of work (permanent residence)
• d) real identity
• e) Information regarding payment transactions

Before the service is activated, the user must actively release his object profile for other participants (in terms of content and location). The release takes place in three stages:

• a) anonymized object profile data
• b) personal (real) data
• c) geographic location

The release can be public, group-related (closed or open) or be individual and focus on the object profile data or location Respectively.

The participant can use a constant location or a single loca Switch off or reject the request.

For example, it is also possible in this way to create group behavior Example of marketing problems to query in real time. You can, for example determine in which cities or locations young people choose Have held up, provided they agree and give it appropriate circuits to enable this location.  

As far as billing is concerned, there are a number of billing options available, namely

• a) Depending on usage (online fees or other time accounting)
• b) Flat rate (daily / weekly / monthly)
• c) Event-based (per location event, per notification, etc.)
• d) packet-based (transferred data volumes)

On the respective service platform - the so-called portal - the object profiles can be created and maintained on the Internet, for example. The following three steps must be carried out:

• 1. Create your own object profile
  • a) own characteristics
  • b) Search and selection criteria, namely
    • a) Type of location area
    • b) Form of agreement
    • c) Set the target value for your own object profile (for "hits", external requirements must be met at X%)
  • c) own catch radius (with regard to geographical location) in kilometers or the like specified by the dynamic location
  • d) Set up / release digital signature (optional)
  • e) Release of your own object profile for the purpose of geographic location, namely
    • a) Limitation in time, geography, or with regard to external location
    • b) the location can be prevented in the vicinity of the place of residence
  • f) Determine the desired payment method when offering or using a service (via service provider or third part)

To accelerate the creation of the object profile, an individual Questionnaire are offered.  

A special form of service is the possibility of any to create many own object profiles. These can regarding content and rule-based behavior may be different or identical (clones). About the Service portal or a mobile device can temporal, content and spatial parameters are set. Then these so-called called virtual object profiles the same geographic search carry out like the original object profile, which with the Subscriber terminal is spatially connected.

• 1. Create the foreign (searched) object profile
  • a) Features
  • b) Search and selection criteria, namely
    • a) Type of location area
    • b) Form of agreement
    • c) according to percentages / criteria
  • c) Specify the target value for the searched object profile (for "hits", your own X% requirement must be met)
  • d) Measure after successful search and / or location, decide further action based on specifications
    Examples:
    • a) SMS notification with predefined content
    • b) Disclosure of information about one's own property profile / identity
    • c) Request for virtual or real contact
    • d) Sending a photo file
    • e) Sending a music file (songs)
    • f) Sending a digital postcard / video presentation
    • g) Start a video conference (landline or mobile)
    • h) Request / request digital signature for authentication (optional)
    • i) Dispatch of material goods to the current geoposition (with immediate delivery)
    • j) Sending optical / acoustic signals (for example ring tones) for the purpose of real identification of two participants.
  • e) Specify the desired payment modality of the searched object when using a service (via service provider or third part)
• 2. Create a favorites (watch) list
  In order to be able to permanently track projects or geographic movements of external object profiles, a monitoring function is first offered that serves to establish mobile contact. Application examples are
  • a) Family members
  • b) friends
  • c) Favorites
  • d) open / closed user groups
  • e) Company members
    In the case of a watch list, there is the possibility of accumulating information about a profile created on the list. The observed object profile (and the participant behind it) is notified and can remove itself from the list. It is also possible to prevent such observations in the future by adding the observed profile to a so-called launch list.

As a further form of service, there is the possibility of a post analysis of geographical movement patterns of the searched objects based on histo movement data. On the service platform (the portal) in Inter net thus a detailed graphic representation of the movement of a or multiple objects in terms of time and location.

The objects equipped with a profile approved for location can be located on request or permanently. The sequence of ge collected geographic positions is stored in a database. The storage takes place over a defined period, which the participant (User) has previously specified in his profile. Anonymized data will be kept for statistical market research. When asked all released object movement data based on the entered Search criteria collected and presented bundled.
