Information aggregation display method and device based on location service

The present invention relates to the field of location services and Internet technologies, and in particular, to an information aggregation display method and apparatus based on location services.

The Location Based Service (LBS) system obtains location information (geographic coordinates, or coordinates) of the mobile terminal user through a telecommunication mobile operator's radio communication network (such as GSM network, CDMA network) or external positioning method (such as GPS). Earth coordinates), a value-added service that provides users with corresponding services, supported by the Geographic Information System (GIS) platform.

The characteristics of the LBS business mainly include: First, the requirements for coverage are high. On the one hand, the scope of coverage is required to be large enough. On the other hand, the range of coverage required includes indoors. Most of the time users use this function indoors, from high-rise buildings and underground facilities must be guaranteed to cover every corner. According to the coverage range, it can be divided into three types of coverage services: the entire local network, the coverage of some local networks, and the provision of roaming network service types. In addition to considering coverage, the network structure and dynamic environmental factors can also make a telecom operator unable to guarantee services in the local network or roaming network. Second, based on user requirements for positioning accuracy requirements. Mobile phone positioning should provide different precision services according to different service needs of users, and can provide users with the right to choose precision. For example, the probability of positioning accuracy of the US FCC is less than 50 meters, and the probability of positioning accuracy within 150 meters is 95%. Positioning accuracy is related to the positioning technology used on the one hand, and depends on the external environment in which the service is provided, including the radio propagation environment, the density and geographical location of the base station, and the equipment used for positioning.

LBS service is considered to be one of the killer businesses after SMS, with huge market size and good profit prospects, but the actual progress is relatively slow.
