Emerging mobile computing
application
Often need to know where things are physically
located.

Location services, wireless location services, mobile
location-based services
Relating location to other pertinent information
gives meaning and value


We need directions from one place to another.
We want to interact naturally with I/O devices
available in our environment.
Allow that mobile users (MUs) use services
based in their position or geographic location

What is location-based service?
Definition 1 :

LBSs are information services accessible with mobile
devices through the mobile network and utilizing the
ability to make use of the location of the mobile
device. (Virrantaus et al. 2001)
Definition 2 :

A wireless-IP service that uses geographic
information to serve a mobile user. Any application
service that exploits the position of a mobile terminal.
(Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC, 2005))

What is location-based service?
A two way communication and interaction


User : tells the information he needs,
preferences and position
Provider : deliver information tailored to the
user needs
To answer :



Where am I ?
What is near by ?
How Can I go to ?

Location Technologies
Network-based

Technologies that exploit the cellular infrastructure to
obtain geo-location information.
Handset-based

Location intelligence is stored within terminal
Each of these groups may be divided into:


The MU uses signal transmitted by the base stations
to calculate its own position
The base stations measure the signals transmitted by
the MU and relay them to a central site for
processing.

Spatial Data
Essential component of LBS architecture

Storing and analyzing spatial data
Geographical Information System (GIS)

Refers to the computer-based capability to
manipulate geographic data
Maps or images can be stored in vector or
raster format.
A spatial object must have:




Location: a known point
Form: a geometric representation
Attribute: the nature of the object
Spatial relationship: the boundary of an area

Traffic Information Services is NOT So
Simple
(You are about to join a ten kilometer traffic queue)
Create a planned route
Periodically get device location
Position device on appropriate transportation network
(usually streets)
 Route May be expressed as segmented line
expression
 Examine planned route for obstacles
Compute work-around if obstacle is discovered
Process and Present (portray) work-around
Obtain background road networks with street and place
names with scale and map up date as device moves
 Highlight planned route
 Highlight work-around route
31
Maneuver Examples
Turn onto street B
Bear to remain on street A
U-turn on street A
Turn to stay on highway A
Turn onto ramp B
Turn to enter a roundabout: pass n roads before
exiting
Entering a boat ferry
Turn to stay on street A (fork)
Stay straight through complex intersection

Exiting a tunnel
Entering a bridge
Entering a new country
Road name changes

Cost Functions for Routing and
Navigation
Find a route from my current position, stopping at
a gas station for 10 gallons of gas, a pharmacy
to pick up a bottle of Advil, and a flower shop
for a dozen roses before arriving home. Three
costs are involved:
(1) the purchasing and stopping costs,
(2) costs related to the time spent on the road,
and
(3) distance related costs such as gasoline used,
and the wear and tear from the use of a car.

Summary
Several alternative location methods under
development

Sensor driven
Each application has its necessary accuracy
Achieving accurate location in urban areas is
challenging because of the effects of buildings
Standardization is focused on time-difference
methods and the use of GPS
