Abstract
Description
Technical Field The present invention relates to a computer method and system that allows a mobile clients to save &
retrieve, the location of their personal places of interests, more particularly via a mobile device connected to a Public Land Mobile Network.
Background of the invention The Internet comprises a vast number of computers and computer networks that are interconnected through communication links. The interconnected computers exchange information using various services, such as electronic mail, Gopher, and the World Wide Web ("WWW"). The WWW
service allows a server computer system (i.e., Web server or Web site) to send graphical Web pages of information to a remote client computer system. The remote client computer system can then display the Web pages.
Each resource (e.g., computer or Web page) of the WWW is uniquely identifiable by a Uniform Resource Locator ("URL"). To view a specific Web page, a client computer system specifies the URL for that Web page in a request (e.g., a HyperText Transfer Protocol ("HTTP") request).
Currently, Web pages are typically defined using HyperText Markup Language ("HTML"). HTML provides a standard set of tags that define how a Web page is to be displayed.
The request is forwarded to the Web server that supports that Web page. When that Web server receives the request, it sends that Web page to the client computer system.
When the client computer system receives that Web page, it typically displays the Web page using a browser. A browser is a special-purpose application program that effects the requesting of Web pages and the displaying of Web pages.

Web browsers offer many options in the user interface for creating a bookmark list. Basic options let the user add and access a page through a pop-up menu on the location toolbar or through a menu pulldown from the main menu bar. A simple way to add a bookmark for a favorite page is to enter the URL to travel to the page, once there, open the Bookmarks menu and choose the Add Bookmarks selection. This set of actions adds the URL of the current page as an item in the Bookmarks menu.
Once created, bookmarks offer a means of page retrieval. The user can cause the browser to display his bookmark list and select among his bookmarks to go directly to a favorite page. Thus, the user is not forced to enter a lengthy URL nor retrace the original tortuous route through the Internet by which he may have arrived at the Web site. Once a bookmark is added to a bookmark list, in general, the bookmark becomes a permanent part of the browser until removed. The permanence and accessibility of bookmarks have made them a valuable means for personalizing a user's Internet access through the browser.
There is, however, a growing interest to provide access to hypermedia servers connected to networks such as the Internet through mobile devices, particularly handheld devices like wireless telephones. These devices are characterized by severe limitations in processing power, memory space, display size, and buttons or keys by which a user can request, view and manipulate information obtained from a hypermedia server. Furthermore, the bandwidth of the communication channels connecting the mobile devices to the rest of the network is also severely limited.
A wireless device has only a small fraction of the resources provided by a typical desktop or portable computer. Typically, the processing power is less than one percent of the processing power in many computers, the memory space is generally much less than 150 kilobytes (kB), and the display is perhaps four lines high and twelve or twenty characters wide. Graphics capabilities are very limited or nonexistent.
The communication path is often in the range of 400 to 19,200 bits per second but is intented to increase rapidly in the next decade.
A new set of protocols (WAP, MeXe, ...) and markup languages (WML, HDML, ...) have been developed to provide WWW content to wireless devices.
For a more complete description of some of the prior art systems, see US
5,895,471, US 6,041,360 and US 5,960,411.
There is also, growing interest to provide to Internet application the precise location of a wireless device user via positioning technologies such as TOA or GPS. These technologies will allows the usage of the real time position of a wireless device user for commercial purposes.
Presently no mobile Internet applications use the location of the user's personal places of interest as location bookmarks.
Summary of the invention An embodiment of the present invention provides a method and system to record and organize, retrieve and send location bookmarks between users with a wireless devices connected to a Public Land Mobile Network.
Location bookmarks, similarly to WWW bookmarks for WEB sites, correspond to a geographic location on the Earth determined with the latitude & longitude.
The client system (a wireless device) sends a request to the server system (the system that provide the precise location of the wireless device) to record the actual location of the client system resulting in the -~ ILK w~
creation of a location bookmark in the user database. The user can then organize personal places of interests (location bookmarks) in a folder-subfolder pattern.
The client system sends a request to the server system to retrieve the specific location bookmarks included in a specific three dimensional zone on Earth by specifying the area to be covered by Cartesian, radius, or spherical coordinates (see drawing - retrieval zone). The current location or a remote location can be used as origin and radius on be use as a parameter to determine the retrieval zone. All the parameters needed to determine the area of the retrieval zone is entered by the user through the client system.
The user sends location bookmarks to another user through standard messaging system available on the Internet and PLMN.
Detailed Descrption of the invention The present invention provides a method and system to create and use a database of information based on the geographic location of the user's places of interest (Ex : restaurant, bars, stores, sightseeing, garage, ... ) over wireless devices connected to a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN).
First, the system comprises means to allows the creation of geographic location bookmark by a mobile client using a wireless device (mobile client system). A location bookmark is similar to Internet bookmarks used to retrace rapidly WEB sites. A location bookmark contains information like Location (latitude, longitude, elevation) Identifier (a name, an icon, ... ) Description (written, vocal, ... ) Fig. 1 illustrate a possible sequence of actions performed to create a location bookmark. The Mobile Client System (MCS) is connected to a Location Bookmark Server System (LBSS) through a Mobile Operator Internet Server System (MOISS) which allows mobile devices to access the Internet. When the user is physically at the place he wants to record, the user sends a request via the MCS GUI to the LESS to record a place. The user enters the identifier and the description of the place. Then the LESS interacts with Mobile Operator Mobile Positioning System (MOMPS) which interacts with the MCS to retrieve the precise location (Latitude, Longitude) of the user. The location bookmark is created in the user database and the result of the operation is sent to the MCS. Additional location bookmarks may be entered manually, downloaded from other users or from the Internet.
The system allows the retrieval of the location bookmarks included in a specific geographic area or volume specified by the user. The location bookmarks search engine can performed a search, based on geographic location (latitude, longitude) of the location, the pre-recorded data entered by the user, received from another user or on the content available on the Internet.
Web site owners may add a location bookmarks to their site which can be downloaded to the user's location bookmark database without the need to actually be present at the said location.
Location bookmarks may also be gathered by any interested party (for example a city, a club, a town operator or an association) for download by any interested user.
Fig. 2-3 illustrate a possible sequence of actions pertormed to search and retrieve location bookmarks. The user navigates the location bookmarks available for search and select a subset of data to be submitted to the Location Bookmark Search Engine (LBSE) included in the LESS Then the user enters the parameters w needed to determined the area or volume of the search (cartesian, radial or spherical coordinates depending on user preferences) through the MCS GUI. The BSS automatically detects if it is a two-dimensions or three-dimensions search and performs the search based on the user parameters which were entered. A common location bookmarks search will be done in the area surrounding the user using the actual location of the user as origin and a specified radius as a parameter to define the search area. The result is sent to the MCS and the user can request specific information about a location bookmark included in the search result (description review, complete address, driving directions, available coupons and promotion, web sites, etc...).
The system also allows a user to send a location bookmark or a subset of location bookmarks to another user or to another database (public or private) through his MCS. The location bookmarks so sent become available to the receiving party.
Fig. 4 illustrates a possible sequence of actions performed to send a location bookmark or a subset of location bookmarks to another MCS. The user navigates the location bookmarks available for sending and selects a subset of data to be sent to another user. Then the user sends a request through his MCS to the LBSS which prepares the data to be sent. The user enters the parameters needed to identify the receiver (phone number, regular e-mail, wireless e-mail, ... ). The LBSS determines the method to send the data to the receiver and sends the data based on the wireless e-mail technology used by the receiving network.
Although in the foregoing example, the location bookmarks are accessed via a wireless device, they can also be accessed using a standard desktop or laptop computer via a standard browser, with or without add on software.
