METHOD FOR PERFORMING LOCATION-SPECIFIC SERVICES, BROADCASTING UNIT AND MOBILE RECEIVING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240015476 titled 'METHOD FOR PERFORMING LOCATION-SPECIFIC SERVICES, BROADCASTING UNIT AND MOBILE RECEIVING DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for a system that enables location-specific services to be performed by a broadcasting unit. This is achieved by setting up virtual cells for the location-specific services, where cell data defining a local cell area is transmitted to a mobile receiving device via the broadcasting unit. The mobile receiving device stores the cell data and determines its current position to determine if it is located within the cell area. If it is, the receiving device performs a service assigned to the cell data.

  • The system sets up virtual cells for location-specific services.
  • Cell data defining a local cell area is transmitted to mobile receiving devices.
  • Mobile receiving devices store the cell data and determine their current position.
  • If a receiving device is located within a cell area, it performs a service assigned to the cell data.
  • The broadcasting unit can set up cells for location-specific services in multiple mobile receiving devices in its service area.
  • This enables geographical areas inside and outside the service area to be divided into smaller, interactive, and virtual service cells and cell clusters in a dynamic and optimal manner.

Potential Applications:

  • Location-based advertising and marketing campaigns.
  • Navigation and mapping services.
  • Real-time information delivery based on user location.
  • Interactive gaming experiences based on location.

Problems Solved:

  • Efficient delivery of location-specific services to mobile devices.
  • Optimal division of geographical areas into smaller service cells.
  • Dynamic allocation of services based on user location.

Benefits:

  • Enhanced user experience with personalized and relevant services.
  • Improved efficiency in delivering location-specific services.
  • Flexibility in adapting to changing user locations and service demands.
  • Increased engagement and interactivity through virtual service cells.


Original Abstract Submitted

to perform location-specific services of a broadcasting unit, virtual cells for the location-specific services are set up so that cell data, which define a local cell area, are transmitted to a mobile receiving device via the broadcasting unit. the cell data are stored in the mobile receiving device. the mobile receiving device establishes its current position and determines whether it is located in the cell area. if the mobile receiving device is located in the cell area, the receiving device performs a service assigned to the cell data. the setting up of cells for location-specific services by the broadcasting unit in a multitude of mobile receiving devices in the service area of the broadcasting unit enables geographical areas inside and outside the service area to be slit up into smaller, interactive and virtual service cells and cell clusters in a dynamic and optimal manner.
