INFORMATION <U> METHOD USING PORTABLE COMMUNICATION TERMINAL, <U> SYSTEM <U> AND </ U> <U> TERMINAL PORTABLE COMMUNICATION IN </ U> The present invention relates to user information by means of a portable communication terminal.
Dans de nombreux pays, l'équipement terminaux de communication portatifs - et notamment en téléphones portables ou en assistants électroniques (PDA pour Personal Digital Assistant selon la terminologie anglo-saxonne généralement utilisée) aptes exemple à permettre une navigation sur Internet - est de plus en plus développé. In many countries, the portable communication terminal equipment - and especially mobile phones or PDAs (Personal Digital Assistant PDAs) used as an example to allow browsing the Internet - is becoming more and more common. more developed.
Il est donc désormais courant qu'une personne promène, par exemple dans une ville ou sur un site touristique, porte elle un terminal de communication. It is now common for a person to walk, for example in a city or a tourist site, it carries a communication terminal.
De nombreux services sont déjà proposés par les opérateurs de téléphonie mobile autour des téléphones portatifs. Notamment, certains opérateurs de téléphonie mobile proposent à leurs abonnés divers services d'informations leur permettant par exemple, par un simple appel, d'avoir accès à l'actualité du jour, ou de connaître les prévisions métrologiques pour prochaines 48H ou encore de faire le point sur la circulation routière dans la zone dans laquelle ils se trouvent. Many services are already offered by mobile operators around mobile phones. In particular, some mobile operators offer their subscribers various information services allowing them for example, by a simple call, to have access to the news of the day, or to know the metrological forecasts for next 48H or to make traffic situation in the area in which they are located.
L'invention propose quant à elle un procédé d'information au moyen d'un terminal portatif de communication selon lequel l'utilisateur actionne ledit terminal pour sélectionner un service et, - lorsque la sélection de ce service est détectée par le terminal, celui-ci se connecte à un serveur qui transmet audit terminal des données qui portent une information à destination de l'utilisateur, caractérisé en ce que, lorsque le terminal se connecte au serveur, celui-ci reçoit une information relative à la localisation dudit terminal et sélectionne dans une base de données, en fonction de cette information, des données qui portent une ou des informations de proximité permettant à l'utilisateur de se repérer dans la zone dans laquelle il se trouve, ces données étant transmises au terminal par le serveur. Avantageusement notamment, le terminal portatif de communication étant de type à écran, les données sélectionnées par serveur en fonction de l'information de localisation comportent des données relatives à une représentation cartographique de la zone correspondant ladite information de localisation, le terminal portatif affichant sur son écran cette représentation cartographique à réception de ces données. The invention proposes a method of information by means of a portable communication terminal according to which the user actuates said terminal to select a service and, - when the selection of this service is detected by the terminal, the it connects to a server that transmits to said terminal data that carries information to the user, characterized in that, when the terminal connects to the server, the latter receives information relating to the location of said terminal and selects in a database, according to this information, data that carries a proximity information or information enabling the user to find his way in the zone in which he is located, this data being transmitted to the terminal by the server. Advantageously, in particular, the portable communication terminal being of screen type, the data selected by server according to the location information comprises data relating to a cartographic representation of the zone corresponding to said location information, the portable terminal displaying on its screen this cartographic representation upon receipt of these data.
Par ailleurs, selon un mode de mise en oeuvre préféré, les données sélectionnées comportent des données relatives à l'emplacement dans la zone correspondant à l'information de localisation transmise au serveur ou plusieurs types de lieux susceptibles d'être un centre d'intérêt pour utilisateur. Moreover, according to a preferred embodiment, the selected data comprise data relating to the location in the area corresponding to the location information transmitted to the server or several types of places likely to be a focus of interest. for the user.
De façon avantageuse alors, le serveur sélectionne des données qui portent une ou des informations de proximité en fonction de choix de l'utilisateur relativement au(x) type(s) de lieux susceptible d'être un centre d'intérêt pour lui. Advantageously then, the server selects data that carry one or more proximity information as a function of the user's choice relative to the type (s) of places likely to be a center of interest for him.
Egalement, le serveur peut transmettre au terminal un numéro téléphonique correspondant à un emplacement pour lequel des données sont transmises par ledit serveur, le terminal portatif pouvant, sur choix de l'utilisateur, se connecter avec ce numéro téléphonique. Also, the server can transmit to the terminal a telephone number corresponding to a location for which data are transmitted by said server, the portable terminal being able, at the user's choice, to connect with this telephone number.
Par ailleurs, l'information à destination de l'utilisateur est avantageusement mémorisée dans le terminal portatif, le terminal comportant des moyens permettant à l'utilisateur d'y avoir accès sans que ledit terminal ne se re-connecte au serveur. Moreover, the information intended for the user is advantageously stored in the portable terminal, the terminal including means allowing the user to have access to it without said terminal being reconnected to the server.
L'invention propose également un système d'information comportant - un serveur d'information, - moins un terminal portatif de communication qui comporte moyens permettant à un utilisateur d'actionner ledit terminal pour sélectionner un service correspondant audit serveur et des moyens pour connecter audit serveur lorsque la sélection de ce service est détectée par le terminal ce serveur transmettant alors audit terminal des données qui portent une information à destination de l'utilisateur, caractérisé en ce que, pour mettre oeuvre le procédé précité, le serveur comporte une base de données dans laquelle sont mémorisées des données qui portent une ou des informations de proximité qui sont associées à des localisations particulières et qui sont aptes à permettre à un utilisateur de se repérer dans une zone correspondant à une telle localisation et en ce que ledit serveur comporte en outre des moyens pour, en fonction d'une information de localisation qu'il reçoit lorsque le terminal se connecte au serveur, sélectionner dans ladite base de données, en fonction de cette information, données qui portent une ou des informations de proximité se rapportant à cette localisation. The invention also proposes an information system comprising - an information server, - less a portable communication terminal which comprises means enabling a user to operate said terminal to select a service corresponding to said server and means for connecting to said server when the selection of this service is detected by the terminal this server then transmitting to said terminal data that carry information to the user, characterized in that, to implement the aforementioned method, the server includes a database in which are stored data which carry one or more proximity information which are associated with particular locations and which are able to allow a user to find their way in an area corresponding to such a location and in that said server further comprises means for, depending on a loc information it receives when the terminal connects to the server, select in said database, based on this information, data that carry one or proximity information relating to this location.
Elle propose en outre terminal de communication portatif, caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte des moyens pour mettre en oeuvre le procédé précité. It further proposes a portable communication terminal, characterized in that it comprises means for implementing the aforementioned method.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention ressortiront encore de la description qui suit, laquelle est purement illustrative et non limitative et doit être lue en regard des figures annexées sur lesquelles - la figure 1 illustre schématiquement un mode de mise en ceuvre possible de l'invention ; - la figure 2 est une représentation schématique illustrant un exemple d'affichage possible sur l'écran d'un terminal de communication utilisé pour la mise en oeuvre illustré sur la figure 1. Other features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the description which follows, which is purely illustrative and nonlimiting and should be read with reference to the appended figures in which - Figure 1 schematically illustrates a possible implementation of the invention; FIG. 2 is a schematic representation illustrating an example of possible display on the screen of a communication terminal used for the implementation illustrated in FIG. 1.
On a représenté sur la figure 1 un utilisateur 1 équipé d'un ternninal de communication portatif 2 - qu'un ordinateur de poche de type assistant personnel (PDA) - comportant un écran d'affichage 3. On a également représenté des moyens (en l'occurrence un stylet pour écran tactile) permettant à l'utilisateur 1 d'actionner des fonctions de ce terminal 2, ainsi qu'un serveur 5 avec lequel le terminal 2 est susceptible d'être connecté. FIG. 1 shows a user 1 equipped with a portable communication terminal 2 - a personal assistant pocket PC (PDA) - comprising a display screen 3. Means (in FIG. the occurrence of a stylus for touch screen) allowing the user 1 to operate functions of this terminal 2, and a server 5 with which the terminal 2 is likely to be connected.
Le terminal 2, qui est plus particulièrement représenté sur la figure 2, comporte des moyens 2a permettant de communiquer par voie hertzienne, notamment en utilisant des réseaux de télécommunications cellulaires. II comporte également moyens mémoire 2b dans lesquels sont stockés le numéro du serveur 5, ainsi qu'un logiciel permettant à un processeur du terminal 2 de gérer les échanges entre ce serveur 5 et ledit terminal. Terminal 2, which is more particularly shown in Figure 2, comprises means 2a for communicating over the air, including using cellular telecommunications networks. It also comprises memory means 2b in which the number of the server 5 is stored, as well as software enabling a processor of the terminal 2 to manage the exchanges between this server 5 and said terminal.
Le serveur 5 comporte quant à lui une base de données 5a dans laquelle sont stockées des représentations cartographiques relatives à une ou plusieurs zones géographiques données, qui sont par exemple des villes des quartiers particuliers de celles-ci, des sites touristiques, Cette base de données 5a mémorise en outre un certain nombre d'informations complémentaires susceptibles d'être associées à ces représentations cartographiques, telles que les noms de rues, les emplacements de services et commerces, de musées ou de façon plus générale des différents lieux susceptibles d'avoir un intéret pour les personnes se promenant dans la zone cartographiée. Elle mémorise également des informations accessoires se rapportant à ces différents lieux, telles que des descriptifs relatifs à ceux-ci : détails sur les spécialités de chacun des commerces, informations culturelles sur divers bâtiments, etc.. The server 5 comprises meanwhile a database 5a in which are stored cartographic representations relating to one or more given geographical areas, which are for example cities of the particular neighborhoods of these, tourist sites, This database 5a also stores a number of additional information that may be associated with these cartographic representations, such as street names, service locations and shops, museums or more generally the different places likely to have a interest for people walking in the mapped area. It also memorizes additional information relating to these different places, such as descriptions relating to them: details on the specialties of each of the shops, cultural information on various buildings, etc.
Lorsqu'il se trouve dans une zone donnée et qu'il souhaite avoir accès à des informations relativement à la zone géographique dans laquelle se trouve, l'utilisateur du terminal 2 actionne celui-ci de façon à afficher l'écran 3 un menu lui permettant de sélectionner le service géré par le serveur 5. When it is in a given area and wishes to have access to information relative to the geographical area in which it is located, the user of the terminal 2 activates the latter so as to display the screen 3 a menu him to select the service managed by the server 5.
Lorsqu'il détecte que ce service est sélectionné, le terminal 2 établit une communication avec le serveur 5 et échange avec celui ci selon un protocole prédéterminé. When it detects that this service is selected, the terminal 2 establishes a communication with the server 5 and exchanges with the latter according to a predetermined protocol.
Notamment, le serveur 5 attend du terminal 2 que celui-ci lui transmette un code identifiant ledit terminal 2 ou l'utilisateur. Ce code permet notamment au serveur 5 de vérifier que l'utilisateur est bien autorisé à avoir accès au service géré par ledit serveur 5. II peut être un code pré- mémorisé dans le terminal 2 (par exemple, dans le cas où celui-ci est un téléphone mobile, un code pré-mémorisé dans la carte SIM de celui-ci). Ce code peut être associé à un mot de passe entré par l'utilisateur sur son terminal 2 au début de la séquence d'échanges avec le serveur 5. In particular, the server 5 expects the terminal 2 that it transmits a code identifying said terminal 2 or the user. This code allows the server 5 to verify that the user is authorized to access the service managed by said server 5. It can be a code stored in the terminal 2 (for example, in the case where the latter is a mobile phone, a code pre-stored in the SIM card of it). This code can be associated with a password entered by the user on his terminal 2 at the beginning of the exchange sequence with the server 5.
Par ailleurs, le serveur 5 attend également de recevoir une information relative à la localisation du terminal 2. Cette information de localisation est par exemple une information transmise automatiquement par le terminal mobile 2 lui-même. Dans le cas où le terminal 2 est un téléphone cellulaire, cette information de localisation peut être un code identifiant la cellule de communication dans laquelle ledit téléphone mobile se trouve. Furthermore, the server 5 also waits to receive information relating to the location of the terminal 2. This location information is for example information automatically transmitted by the mobile terminal 2 itself. In the case where the terminal 2 is a cellular telephone, this location information may be a code identifying the communication cell in which said mobile phone is located.
En variante, cette information peut être transmise au serveur 5 par un serveur de gestion du réseau de communication cellulaire auquel le terminal 2 appartient. As a variant, this information can be transmitted to the server 5 by a management server of the cellular communication network to which the terminal 2 belongs.
En variante encore, l'information de localisation peut être également un code d'identification de zone que l'utilisateur entre manuellement sur son terminal lorsque celui-ci le lui demande. In another variant, the location information may also be a zone identification code that the user enters manually on his terminal when requested by him.
Lorsque le serveur 5 a vérifié que l'utilisateur est bien autorisé à avoir accès au service et a reçu l'information de localisation, il sélectionne dans sa base de données 5a une portion de carte correspond à cette information de localisation et renvoie au terminal une séquence de données qui comporte d'une part des données relatives à la représentation de cette portion de carte et d'autre part des données relatives à des informations complémentaires susceptibles d'être associées à la portion de carte transmise. When the server 5 has verified that the user is authorized to access the service and has received the location information, he selects in his database 5a a portion of the map corresponds to this location information and returns to the terminal a sequence of data which comprises, on the one hand, data relating to the representation of this portion of the card and, on the other hand, data relating to additional information that may be associated with the portion of card transmitted.
Lorsqu'elle est reçue sur le terminal 2, cette séquence de données y est mémorisée, puis traitée au moyen du logiciel prévu à cet effet et stocké dans les moyens 2a, afin d'afficher sur l'écran 3 du terminal 2 une représentation cartographique de la zone dans laquelle se trouve l'utilisateur et certaines informations complémentaires susceptibles d'être associées à cette zone (figure 2). When it is received on the terminal 2, this data sequence is stored therein, then processed by means of the software provided for this purpose and stored in the means 2a, in order to display on the screen 3 of the terminal 2 a cartographic representation. the area in which the user is located and some additional information that may be associated with this area (Figure 2).
Ainsi, l'utilisateur dispose sur l'écran de son terminal d'une représentation cartographique de la zone dans laquelle il se promène. Cette représentation cartographique lui permet de se repérer dans cette zone et savoir quels sont les services et commerces qui se trouvent dans celle-ci de façon plus générale quels sont les lieux qui sont le cas échéant susceptibles de l'intéresser et qui se trouvent à proximité de l'endroit où il se trouve. Par ailleurs, il est avantageusement prévu que l'utilisateur peut sélectionner des points particuliers sur son écran afin d'avoir accès à des pages d'écran complémentaires, lui fournissant des informations plus détaillées sur le ou les sites ou lieux de la zone cartographiée aura sélectionné. Thus, the user has on the screen of his terminal a cartographic representation of the area in which he walks. This cartographic representation allows it to find its bearings in this area and to know which services and businesses are in it more generally what are the places that may be of interest and that are nearby. where he is. Furthermore, it is advantageously provided that the user can select particular points on his screen in order to have access to additional screen pages, providing him with more detailed information on the site or sites of the mapped area will have selected.
On notera qu'une fois que la représentation cartographique a été calculée par les moyens 2a puis affichée sur l'écran 3, le terminal 2 mémorise cette représentation cartographique et termine la communication téléphonique avec le serveur 5. It will be noted that once the cartographic representation has been calculated by the means 2a and then displayed on the screen 3, the terminal 2 stores this cartographic representation and ends the telephone communication with the server 5.
Lorsque l'utilisateur a eu consulté la représentation qui s'affiche sur son écran il peut retourner au menu principal de son terminal 2 pour cas échéant avoir accès à d'autres services. II a toutefois à tout moment la possibilité d'avoir à nouveau accès à la représentation cartographiée mémorisée et le cas échéant aux pages d'informations complémentaires qui lui sont associées, et ce sans que le terminal 2 n'est à se re-connecter avec le serveur 5. When the user has consulted the representation that is displayed on his screen he can return to the main menu of his terminal 2 if necessary to have access to other services. It has however at any time the possibility of having access again to the stored mapped representation and if necessary to the pages of additional information associated with it, without the terminal 2 being reconnected with the server 5.
Pour minimiser le volume des données qui doivent être transmises entre le serveur 5 et le terminal 2, les représentations cartographiques sont préférentiellement de type vectorisé, tandis que certaines des informations complémentaires sont représentées de façon schématique (cf. exemple de la figure où la lettre "B" symbolise une boulangerie, la lettre "R" pouvant par exemple symboliser un restaurant). Les types de commerce peuvent par exemple être indiqués par des lettres clés ou par des symboles. To minimize the volume of data that must be transmitted between the server 5 and the terminal 2, the cartographic representations are preferably of the vectorized type, while some of the complementary information is represented schematically (see example of the figure where the letter " B "symbolizes a bakery, the letter" R "could for example symbolize a restaurant). Trade types may for example be indicated by key letters or symbols.
Par ailleurs, dans une variante de réalisation et de mise en oeuvre avantageuse, il est prévu que l'utilisateur puisse indiquer au serveur 5, via l'interface de son terminal 2, le type de lieux susceptibles d'être centre d'intérêt pour lui (type de commerce ou de services, etc..). Ceci permet également de limiter les informations transmises entre le serveur et le terminal 2. Ceci permet en outre de réduire le temps de traitement vue de l'affichage de la carte, notamment au niveau du terminal 2. Moreover, in an advantageous embodiment and implementation variant, it is provided that the user can indicate to the server 5, via the interface of its terminal 2, the type of places likely to be of interest for him (type of business or services, etc.). This also makes it possible to limit the information transmitted between the server and the terminal 2. This also makes it possible to reduce the processing time seen from the display of the card, in particular at the terminal 2.
En variante, le type de lieux susceptibles de constituer centres d'intérêt pour l'utilisateur peut être pré-mémorisé dans le serveur 5. Le procédé et le système qui viennent d'être décrits à titre d'exemples présentent l'avantage de permettre à un utilisateur de disposer en permanence d'informations proximité lui permettant de se repérer dans la zone dans laquelle se trouve. II dispose par exemple en permanence d'un annuaire professionnel et commercial à jour relativement à ladite zone, cet annuaire étant susceptible d'être trié selon ses besoins. Alternatively, the type of places likely to be of interest to the user can be pre-stored in the server 5. The method and system that have just been described as examples have the advantage of allowing a user to permanently have proximity information allowing him to locate in the area in which is located. It has for example permanently a professional directory and commercial update relative to said area, this directory being able to be sorted according to its needs.
Comme on l'aura compris, même si l'affichage d'une représentation cartographique est particulièrement avantageuse, cette représentation cartographique n'est pas indispensable, les informations de proximité pouvant être transmises à l'utilisateur sous forme de messages alpha numériques, voire sous forme messages oraux.As will have been understood, even if the display of a cartographic representation is particularly advantageous, this cartographic representation is not essential, the proximity information can be transmitted to the user in the form of digital alpha messages, or even under form oral messages.
