  • Portal City 226 may be extended to provide location based services for mobile users.
  • Some examples of location sensitive services are the providing of information such as promotions and activities happening around the vicinity of the mobile device user, information about specific landmarks at places of interest in the vicinity of the mobile device user, and sending instant messages and data sharing in a selected personal network.
  • FIG. 6 illustrates how the example embodiment provides location based services.
  • All the mobile devices support at least the J2ME version 1.0 virtual machine including some having support for Java Specification Request (JSR) 118 (Mobile Information Device Profile 2.0) and JSR179 [Location Application Program Interface (API) for J2ME], and some are e.g. Nokia Series 60 (Symbian) and Palm Treo 650 mobile devices.
  • JSR Java Specification Request
  • API Application Program Interface
  • the example embodiment may be adapted to provide location based services to other types of mobile devices that run on different operating systems e.g. Windows Mobile, or the like.
  • a mobile user 612 downloads a helper Symbian Client application named JeneHelper (one time installation only) along with the JeneSpace J2ME Client application on his/her mobile device 614.
  • the mobile device 614 is running on Symbian OS and it is a Nokia Series 60 mobile device.
  • JeneHelper is a mobile application that may be developed in C++, Java etc. and uses Symbian API.
  • JeneSpace queries JeneHelper for the Cell ID.
  • JeneHelper is capable of reading the Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) or Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) Cell ID through the Symbian API when requested by JeneSpace.
  • GSM Global System for Mobile Communication
  • UMTS Universal Mobile Telecommunications System
  • JeneHelper obtains the Cell ID via Symbian API and returns the Cell ID to JeneSpace. JeneSpace then transmits the Cell ID to Portal City 618 (226 in Figure 2) via the Mobile Telecommunication Network 620 and the Internet 622 to translate the Cell ID into a location name.
  • Portal City 618 performs the translation by looking up a database of known Cell IDs to match the Cell ID obtained from JeneHelper. If the Cell ID is not found in the database, the Portal City Server 618 returns the location that corresponds to the nearest known Cell ID.
  • the location name is transmitted to an Agency server 624 via a Web Service, so that an Agency server 624 may generate location-specific content and services.
  • the Agency server transmits content/services to a list of users who are in a particular location. This advantageously makes it possible to provide location-sensitive mobile services like "Last Minute Ticket Sales", where a cinema operator can push discounted tickets to users within a specific location just before the movie begins.
  • JeneHelper will have a native PalmOS application that obtains the Cell ID via the PalmOS API.
  • Location Based Services are still available to the mobile device users through JeneSpace prompting the user to enter the name of the location.
  • JSR118 Java APIs are available to mobile devices installed with Java Platform version 7.3 and above. Using JSR118 Java APIs, the mobile device manufacturer can expose the current cell ID of mobile devices supporting JSR118 for use in any mobile device application such as JeneSpace or JeneHelper.
  • Jenespace may bypass JeneHelper or utilize JeneHelper to retrieve the cell ID provided by the mobile device manufacturer from GPS coordinates through the use of JSR179 Java APIs.
  • JeneSpace communicates with JeneHelper via a TCP socket (for Symbian OS) or through a shared file (for Palm OS).
  • JeneSpace and JeneHelper both use APIs provided by the Symbian OS, Palm OS and J2ME virtual machine in the present example.
  • JeneSpace may comprise an avatar-based user interface named, for example, Jene, which acts as a virtual concierge that provides electronic commercial activities such as purchasing and selling. Jene interfaces the functionality of JeneSpace and JeneHelper. Jene, is capable of learning from user inputs and adapting to the user preferences. Jene is also capable of tracking the exact location of the mobile user and provides suggestions for the electronic services available at the location. For instance, Jene may send instant messages to users to alert them of events and promotions and users can send a message to Jene to request for help and recommendations e.g. "where is the nearest Shell station?". Jene may then reply by showing a map and direct the user to the location. Jene is programmed with the necessary intelligence to understand basic sentences that users may query.
  • JeneSpace is location sensitive and works based on the telco cell ID. JeneSpace enables searching out personnel around the user and sending of instant messages to the personnel. JeneSpace also provides updates and enable discovery of promotions and activities happening around the user. Information of landmarks in the form of sound/video clips or text and pictures may also be made available through JeneSpace to the user based on the location of the user.
  • JeneSpace is implemented using C++, Java or the like and is installed in the user's mobile device such as hand phones, Personal Digital Assistants (PDA) or the like upon request.
  • PDA Personal Digital Assistants
  • users can interact with the avatar, Jene, and with other users in the personal area network at the vicinity of the users or other users in a network of selected personnel.
  • JeneSpace may be used as a ubiquitous mobile tool for Secure mobile commerce transactions and Secure eGovelement (electronic Government) transactions.
  • Example of applications for JeneSpace are purchase of products and services (e.g. movie tickets) electronically through the mobile device, redemption of electronic vouchers, viewing of mobile content such as text, images, 3G streaming video, participation in electronic quizzes, and because JeneSpace is location sensitive, merchants can push offers to users near specific locations.

  • Web Service Orchestration Technology includes the use of standard XML Web Services and standard HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) request and response mechanisms. Users can use the three services shown in the menu in window 2102 seamlessly i.e. buy flight tickets, notify MINDEF and buy travel insurance without having to separately click or activate each of the three services.
  • Window 2104 appears after the selection.
  • Window 2104 contains fields for entering the citizenship identity card number 2112, the contact telephone number of the user 2114, the day of birth of the user 2116, the month of birth of the user 2118 and the year of birth of the user 2120.
