A method, system, and computer program product for providing event service based on locations of mobile users provides improved efficiency by using a location cache to store recent location information for mobile users, reducing the need for expensive and time consuming positioning requests, and by intelligently scheduling times when location determinations are to be made. The method comprises the steps of: a) obtaining information indicating a current location of at least one mobile user, the at least one mobile user including a selected mobile user, b) determining if at least one condition relating to a location of at least one mobile user is satisfied based on the indicated current location of the at least one mobile user, c) performing at least one event, if at least one condition is satisfied, and d) determining a time interval to wait before repeating steps a) - c).

La présente invention concerne un procédé, un système et un progiciel de prestation de service d'événements sur la base de la position topographique des utilisateurs mobiles. L'invention procure une efficacité accrue grâce, d'une part à l'utilisation d'une antémémoire de positions topographiques pour garder l'information récente de position de l'utilisateur, d'autre part à une moins grande nécessité de demandes de position, opération coûteuse et consommatrice de temps, et enfin à une planification intelligente des moments de détermination des nouvelles positions. Le procédé met en oeuvre plusieurs opérations; a) recherche d'information caractéristique de la position actuelle d'au moins un utilisateur mobile, et notamment d'un utilisateur mobile désigné; b) confirmation d'une condition en relation avec la position de l'utilisateur mobile sur la base de sa position actuelle indiquée; c) production de l'événement considéré dans la mesure où l'une des conditions recherchées est satisfaite; d) enfin, détermination du délai d'attente pour la prochaine répétition de la séquence a) c).
