End to End Mobile Presence Solution enabling value added state and location aware services

Kurzfassung

The Scottish based operation of an international company who develops advanced Mobile 2.0 software for telecoms networks has developed an end to end mobile presence solution based on proprietary patent pending location technology. The solution enables rapid deployment of context and location aware services. They are interested in license and technical co-operation agreements with Mobile Network Operators and System Integrators.

Details

The Scottish based operation of an international company who develops advanced Mobile 2.0 software for telecoms networks has developed an end to end mobile presence solution based on proprietary patent pending location technology.
Services based on a user’s state and location are some of the most powerful means to personalise a customer’s experience and are already presenting significant revenue opportunities to mobile operators.

This software solution is based on an open architecture with flexible Application Programming Interfaces (API’s), making it easy for any web based service to benefit from location and state awareness.

Using a client application installed on the SIM (subscriber identity module) or directly on the handset, it provides the continuous, intelligent, capture, combination and categorization of geo-spatial location, status and connectivity data relating to mobile subscribers. The accuracy is significantly better than Cell ID and has many advantages over GPS for mobile consumers.

This network independent software based solution offers the additional advantage of near ubiquity across all mobile devices.

Potential applications enabled by the solution include fleet tracking and family or friend finders through to advertising, social networks, content delivery services and intelligent call control.

Innovative Aspects:
The solution is based on the company’s proprietary patent pending location technology. The technology provides superior accuracy continuous location updates for mobile subscribers using a client application installed on SIM card or directly on mobile handset.

The client application collects network data directly from the handset and communicates with the remote server using IP, SMS or any data transfer method that the operator supports.

The server applies complex algorithms to calculate the handset location. Accuracy is continually improved as the server learns intelligently and can also recognise changes in the operator’s network.

Benefits include:

• Location accuracy superior to Cell ID
• Overcomes key constraints that GPS presents for the mobile user (eg lack of ubiquity, indoor limitations, high power consumption, etc.)
• Enables rapid deployment of web based location/context aware services.
• Modular open architecture
• Sim based solution offering near ubiquity across devices
• Highly scalable network independent software solution
