Patent

CA 2479838

The disclosed method and system provide extensible or stand-alone location enabled services at granularity down to a stand-alone service. The various interfaces are preferably specified via DTD or schemas for communication based on XML (400). This collection of services enables management of mobile device locations information (420), and real-time services. Mobile device location is integrated with other location sensitive data, such as maps (465) or demographics of a particular region or even the location of businesses and consumers to enable a richer service offering for customers of wireless carriers (405) and service providers. Examples of such services include obtaining routes to a destination (470); providing a geocode corresponding to an address (450); providing an address corresponding to a geocode (440); providing maps as image files encompassing specified geocodes, locations, or addresses and the like. Additional services may be added to the disclosed system and method seamlessly due to the use of extensible interfaces.

Cette invention concerne un procédé et un système fournissant des services fonction de la position, autonomes ou extensibles à un niveau de granularité bas pouvant atteindre celui d'un service autonome. Les diverses interfaces sont de préférence spécifiées via DTD ou des schémas de communication basés sur XML. Cet ensemble de services permet de gérer les informations relatives à la position de dispositifs mobiles, ainsi que des services en temps réel. La position des dispositifs mobiles est intégrée à d'autres données associées à l'emplacement tels que des cartes ou des données démographiques pour une région donnée, voire des données relatives à l'emplacement d'entreprises et de consommateurs afin d'élargir la palette des services proposés aux clients de dispositifs sans fil et aux fournisseurs de service. Exemples de tels services : indication d'itinéraires pour une destination donnée; fourniture d'un géocode correspondant à une adresse; fourniture d'une adresse correspondant à un géocode ; fourniture de cartes sous forme de fichiers d'images englobant des géocodes spécifiés, emplacements, adresses, etc. Le système et le procédé de l'invention permettent d'ajouter d'autres services sans solution de continuité compte tenu de l'emploi d'interfaces extensibles.
