II s'agit, par exemple, du plan d'une ville ou d'un quartier de As indicated in 2, the user who wishes to locate himself begins by displaying, on the screen of his personal assistant, a map which corresponds to the geographical area in which he is currently located. This is, for example, the plan of a city or a district of
cette ville.this city.
Ensuite, comme indique en 3, le porteur de ['assistant personnel effectue, sur le plan affiche, une operation de pointage (couramment designee comme un "clic"), au point precis de ce plan ou il se trouve. Cette operation de pointage definit les coordonnees geographiques X, Y du Then, as indicated in 3, the wearer of the personal assistant performs, on the displayed plan, a pointing operation (commonly designated as a "click"), at the precise point of this plan where he is located. This pointing operation defines the geographic coordinates X, Y of the
lieu ou se trouve alors l'utilisateur. where the user is located.
Comme indique en 4, la position de l'utilisateur, definie par les coordonnees geographiques X, Y. est envoyee vers un centre de traitement situe a distance, sous la forme de messages courts de type "SMS", ou par As indicated in 4, the position of the user, defined by the geographic coordinates X, Y. is sent to a processing center located remotely, in the form of short messages of type "SMS", or by

On a indique en 9 un assistant personnel, sur l'ecran 10 duquel peut etre affiche le plan P d'une certaine zone geographique, en particulier la zone ou se trouve le porteur de ['assistant personnel 9. A ['aide des moyens dont dispose ['assistant personnel 9, par exemple au moyen d'un styles 11, I'utilisateur peut pointer sur le plan P ltendroit precis ou il se trouve, ce point etant defini par ses coordonnees cartesiennes X, Y. S Le systeme comprend aussi le centre de traitement 12, lequel recoil, comme indique par la fleche 13, I'identification et les coordonnees X, Y de ['assistant personnel 9. Le centre de traitement 12 comprend, lui meme: À une memoire 14 de stockage des informations re,cues relatives a l'utilisateur (identification et position); À un ecran d'ordinateur 15 permettant de visualiser les positions (definies par leurs coordonnees X, Y) des utilisateurs, pour leur suivi; À un moteur de recherche 16; À une base de donnees 17 contenant des informations de proximite, correlees 3 des coordonndes geographiques X, Y. Ainsi, le moteur de recherche 16 utilise les coordonnees geographiques signalees X, Y du porteur de ['assistant personnel 9, pour effectuer la recherche, dans la base de donnees 17, d'informations de proximite qui correspondent 3 ces coordonnees X, Y. Les informations selectionnees INF vent renvoyees 3 i'assistant personnel 9 du porteur, comme le symbolise la fleche 18, ces informations pouvant s'afficher sur A personal assistant has been indicated at 9, on the screen 10 of which the map P of a certain geographical area can be displayed, in particular the area where the carrier of the personal assistant is located. available to the personal assistant 9, for example by means of a styles 11, the user can point to the precise plane P where it is located, this point being defined by its Cartesian coordinates X, Y. S The system comprises also the processing center 12, which collects, as indicated by the arrow 13, the identification and the X, Y coordinates of the personal assistant 9. The processing center 12 itself comprises: A memory 14 for storing the information received on the user (identification and position); To a computer screen 15 making it possible to view the positions (defined by their X, Y coordinates) of the users, for their monitoring; To a search engine 16; To a database 17 containing proximity information, correlated to 3 of the geographic coordinates X, Y. Thus, the search engine 16 uses the geographic coordinates marked X, Y of the bearer of the personal assistant 9, to perform the search, in the database 17, proximity information which corresponds to these X, Y coordinates. The selected information INF is returned 3 to the personal assistant 9 of the wearer, as symbolized by the arrow 18, this information being able to be displayed on
ltecran 10 de ['assistant personnel 9. screen 10 of the personal assistant 9.
Les informations de proximite, ainsi retournees au porteur de I'assistant personnel 9 qui a signale sa position, peuvent etre des informations commerciales, des informations relatives 3 des services, des informations pratiques, etc... telles que: pharmacies, distributeurs de billets de barque, restaurants, promotions commerciales, services d'urgence, A titre d'exemple pratique d'utilisation, evidemment non Iimitatif, une personne porteuse d'un assistant personnel 9 affiche, sur The proximity information, thus returned to the bearer of the personal assistant 9 who has indicated his position, can be commercial information, information relating to services, practical information, etc. such as: pharmacies, ATMs boat, restaurants, sales promotions, emergency services, As a practical example of use, obviously not limited, a person carrying a personal assistant 9 displays, on
l'ecran 10 de son assistant personnel, le plan P de la ville ou elle se trouve. screen 10 of his personal assistant, plan P of the city where she is located.
Le porteur de ['assistant personnel 9 peut alors se geolocaliser automatiquement, par un simple "clic" sur le plan affiche P au point precis de ce plan ou il se situe. Apres une procedure de choix course, cette personne recoit sur son assistant personnel 9, depuis le centre de traitement 12, une information pertinente telle que ['identification du restaurant italien le plus proche (situe par exemple a moins de 100 metres The wearer of the personal assistant 9 can then geolocate himself automatically, by a simple "click" on the displayed map P at the precise point of this map where he is located. After a race selection procedure, this person receives on his personal assistant 9, from the processing center 12, relevant information such as the identification of the nearest Italian restaurant (located for example within 100 meters
du point ou s'est signalee ladite personne). from the point where the said person was identified).
D'autres applications, plus particulibres, vent aussi envisageables. Par exemple, un technician de maintenance, equipe d'un assistant personnel, peut d'un simple "clic" informer sa societe du lieu ou il se trouve, pour le suivi normal de son intervention ou en cas de difficulte particulibre. Un automobiliste peut signaler avec precision ou il se trouve, par exemple en cas de panne. Ainsi, les applications possibles vent diversifiees, et ne se limitent pas au retour d'informations de proximite vers Other, more particular applications are also possible. For example, a maintenance technician, staffed by a personal assistant, can with a simple "click" inform his company of the place where he is, for the normal follow-up of his intervention or in case of particular difficulty. A motorist can indicate precisely where he is, for example in the event of a breakdown. Thus, the possible applications are diversified, and are not limited to the feedback of proximity information to
ie porteur d'un assistant personnel qui vient de signaler sa position. ie bearer of a personal assistant who has just reported his position.
Une autre application particuliere, illustree par le dessin, permet a deux personnel equipees d'un assistant personnel de savoir ou l'une se trouve par rapport a l'autre. Dans ce cas, comme le montre notamment la partie inferieure de la figure 2, les coordonnees X, Y d'un assistant personnel 9, indiquant la position de son porteur, vent retransmises, comme le symbolise la fleche 19, vers ['assistant personnel 9' d'un autre porteur. La position du premier assistant personnel 9 s'affiche ainsi, comme un point, sur un plan affiche sur l'ecran 10' d'un second assistant Another particular application, illustrated by the drawing, allows two personnel equipped with a personal assistant to know where one is in relation to the other. In this case, as shown in particular in the lower part of FIG. 2, the coordinates X, Y of a personal assistant 9, indicating the position of its carrier, wind retransmitted, as symbolized by the arrow 19, towards ['personal assistant 9 'from another carrier. The position of the first personal assistant 9 is thus displayed, as a point, on a map displayed on the screen 10 'of a second assistant
personnel 9'.staff 9 '.
Comme il va de soi, I'invention ne se limite pas aux seuls modes de mise en ceuvre de ce procede de geolocalisation qui ont ete decrits ci-dessus, a titre d'exmples. Wile en embrasse, au contraire, toutes It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the only modes of implementation of this geolocation process which have been described above, by way of example. Wile embraces, on the contrary, all
les variantes de realisation et d'application respectant le meme principe. variant embodiments and applications respecting the same principle.
C'est ainsi, notamment, que l'on ne s'eloignerait pas du cadre de ['invention: À en affichant sur ['assistant personnel tous plans ou cartes, preinstalles sur cet assistant personnel ou telecharges a partir de tout site INTERNET, cederom ou bases de donnees cartographiques; À en modifiant ['architecture du systhme de geolocalisation, notamment de son centre de traitement, qui peut-etre un centre servour de toute configuration; À en retournant vers ['assistant personnel, dont la position a ete signalee, des informations de toute nature: commerciales, pratiques, promotionnelles, etc Thus, in particular, that we would not depart from the framework of the invention: To by displaying on the personal assistant any plans or maps, preinstalled on this personal assistant or downloads from any INTERNET site, CD-ROM or cartographic databases; By modifying the architecture of the geolocation system, in particular of its processing center, which may be a servour center of any configuration; By returning to the personal assistant, whose position has been reported, information of any kind: commercial, practical, promotional, etc.
