If content is available, the mobile terminal may initiate correspondence with an application server to obtain the content. The mobile terminal may keep a table identifying the availability of content for defined locations. Preferably, the locations relate to cells within a wireless network wherein the mobile terminal will check for the availability of content for a given cell and request the content. The mobile terminal may check for the availability of content periodically or when the servicing cell changes.

Description

LOCATION-BASED CONTENT DELIVF.'RY
Field of the Inventi.o:a (0001] The present invention relates to delivering content to a mobile terminal, and 1.n particular, to delivering content ba;~ed on locatic>n in an efficient manner.
Background of the Invention
[0002] Mobile term_Lxzals, such as mobile telephones and wireless personal digita:I a:~sistants (PDAs;~ , are now capable of .receiving content: from various types of network devices and :presenting the content to users in a visual or audible format. ITsers of these devices may browse the Internet .and receive various types of content.
Further, mobile term::Lnals may cooperate with various network services to :r~E:ceive alerts relating to any type of event or informat:~.on.
[0003] Advertisers and other entities az~e trying to take advantage of th:i.~; communication medium by sending users iizformation via their mobile terminals. Users are interested in obtainir.~g thi:~ information, but are primarily interested ~.n obtaining information that is deemed beneficial. :Cn.format.ion services have emerged that provide informal:ion based on the user's location in order to target such information to those most likely to benef it .
[0004] Many of the services providing information make defining and determining localities to asscciate with information difficult::. People typically prefer to identify a locality based on. common names and terminology, such as the name of an area, city, district, zip code, or the like. Existing location-based systems 14?84HU
do not provide a user--=riendly way to readily identify or associate known local~_ties.
[0005] Existing techniques for providing alerts and related information to a user's mobile terminal based on location are network centric. The task of continuously tracking the user via the mobile terminal vs placed squarely on services _i.n the wireless communication network. Typically, the network must continuously poll the mobile terminal i:r~ detez-mine location information and take action when loc<~tion criteria are met. Having to continuously poll large numbers of mobile terminals creates a tremendous load on the wireless communication network.
[0006] Accordingl_,a, there is a need for a technique to provide location-based information to mobile terminals in an efficient and user-friendly manner. There is also a need to minimize the impact on the wireless communication network. There is a further need to provide an effective way to manage the in~=ormation provided via the mobile terminal and associate the information with readily recognized :Locations.
Summary of the Invent. ion
[0007] The present:: invention provides for delivering content, such as infc:~rmation, advertisements, directions, and news, to a mobile terminal based on location. The mobile terminal is configured to det=ermine its location and whether content ~.s available based on internal records. If content is available, the mobile terminal may initiate correspondence with an application server to obtain the content. The mobile germinal may keep a table identifying the avai-~.ability of content for defined locations. Preferabl;,, the locations relate to cells within a wireless network wherein the mobile terminal will check for the avrailabi=Lity of content for a given cell and request the c:antent:. The mobile terminal may check for the availab:.lity of content periodically or when the servicing cell changes.
(0008] Each cell may represent a locality corresponding to a single cell, group of cE~lls, or sectors within a cel".. The locality is preferably a recognizable area, wl~-i.ch is easily identified by a typical user. In or;lc=~r to minimize the impact on memory, the mobile terminal will preferably keep a relatively small table of :locations anti indicators of available content. When the mobile terminal moves to new locations or is serviced by an u.nkr_own cell, the mobile terminal.
may request an updatEa for a given cell ar the entire table.
[0009] Further, the application server may access a profile to select COTltent to provide the mabile terminal based on user preferences, preferences of G service provider, or a combination thereof. Additionally, the application server m<~y access more precise location information for the terminal. from other location services tracking the mobile terminal..

14?84HU
[0018] The embodi.me.nts set forth below represent the necessary information to enable thane skilled in the art to practice the invent=ion a:nd illustrate t-~e best mode of practicing the inver_t:ion. ':lpon reading the following description in light of the accompanying drawing figures, those skilled in the Girt wi:Ll understand the concepts of the invention and wil_ recognize applications of these concepts not particularly addressed herein. It should be understood that these r_oncepts and applications fall within the scope of tree disclosure and the accompanying claims.
[0019] A representative communication environment for implementing the present invention is illustrated in Figure 1. A mobile I~erminal_ 10, such as a mobile telephone or persona:L digital assistant (PDA), is serviced by a wireless communication network 12 via a proximate base stati~:~n 14. The wireless communication network 12 will inco-r_porate numerous base stations 14 to facilitate continuous coverage of an area for communications. Each base station :14 will typically provide communications within a given area, often referred to as a cel:l..
[0020] While moving, a mcbile terminal 10 will travel from one cell to another, wherein the associated base station 14 for a cell. in which the mobile terminal 10 is leaving will transfer: control of the communication service to the base :station 14 of the cell that the mobile terminal 10 t:;: entering. Those skilled in the art will recognize the process of handing off communication from one base statior:~ 14 to another,. and the various techniques within the numerous cellular communication standards whereby a mobile termir~al 10 can identify a base station 14 with which to communicate. Most cellular communication standaz°ds provide signaling to the mobile I4,284HU
terminal 10 identif~ring the servicing base station 14, and often, the base stations 14 supporting adjacent cells.
[0021] The wirelEss communication network 12 supports communications with a variety of other networks, including the public switched telephone network (PSTN) and packet-switched networks, such as the Internet.
Typically, the circuit-switched communications supported by the wireless communication network 12 as well as the PSTN interface with a packet-switched network through a gateway, or like portal, su~~h as a wireless portal 16.
Further, the wireless communication network 12 may incorporate packet-sw_i~ched networks and communications to support call sign.a=Ling and other types of data transfer. Again, these basic communication concepts for supporting communications between and among various networks should be appreciated by those sk~.lled in the art.
(0022] With regard to the=_ present invent: ion, there is a need to support communications between the mobile terminal 10 and various devices supported in the packet-switched network. I:n one embodiment, the mobile terminal is configured to cooperate with an application server 18 to request and rewe:ive information, such as alerts and content, from any nurni~er of services or databases configured to cooperage with the application server 18.
[0023] To customize: services provided for the mobile terminal 10, a user may access the application server 18 using a traditional personalw computer or the like to establish a profile de:fininc~ types of information to deliver to the mobile terminal 10 upon entering or being in defined locations. These defined locations may correlate to customa:r~rT area:, or localities, that are recognizable to the public at large. For example, 14,2 84HU
defined areas may r~:~present a town, an area within a city, a zip code, oz-~~ famous Iandmar:K. These locations may be assigned to co:rrespc:nding cells or .a group of cells. For the purpo:~es of this disclosure and the claims that follow, tlZe terms "cell" and "group of cells"
are referred to as a. cell. As such, a cel:1 may include multiple cells and sectors within a cell. Thus, a profile database 20 a:~sociat=ed with or accessible by the application server 18 may be used to store a profile for a mobile terminal 10 c~ef:ining a location and content to provide when the mobile terminal 10 enters or is at the given location.
[0024] A content server 22 may provide various types of content for delivery to t:he mobile terminal 10. The content may range from advez~tisements to ds.rections and information about a :specific location. PrE:ferably, the content provided by true content server 22 will relate to a location associated with a given cell.
[0025] A mobile positioning server 24 or' like positioning equipment. represents a service capable of fine-tuning the posiv::ion of a mobile terminal 10 within a given cell. Depending on geography and population density, cells may v<:~ry i.n diamet:er from 50 meters to several miles. In l~:~rger cells, it may be desirable to approximate the mobi=1_e terminal's actual position within a cell and use the approximated position to further refine the content t<:1 deliver to the user via the mobile terminal 10. The mobile positioning server 24 may be mobile positioning equipment, such as Nortel Networks Limited's e-Mobility Location Center, which is capable of determining the location of the mobile terminal 10 within a particular cell. Additional. information on the architecture and operation of the e--Mobility Location Center is available through Nortel Networks Limited, 380 14"2 8 4HU $
St. Antoine Street West, World Trade Center of Montreal, Montreal, Quebec H2~' 3Y4.
(0026] The mobile :positioning server 24 may also access global posits.oning system (UPS) coordinates for the mobile terminal 10, assuming that the mobile terminal is equipped to det~'rm.ine and provide GPS coordinates in a manner accessible by the mobi~.e positioning serer 24. The wireless communication network 12 may also include equipment cap«ble of providing enhanced observed time differentiation (~-OTD), which is capable of monitoring signals rec=eived from one or more cells to estimate the mobile termina=l's location. 'those skilled in the art will recognize tine available systems and techniques for apprcxumating the mcbile terminal's actual position.
(0027] For select embodiments of the present invention, the applic~ition :server 18 may access such location information t:o determine whether content is available or the type of content to provide to the mobile terminal 10. Thus, tie mobile positioning server 24 may be used in select embodiments to fine--tune position information. An online backup database 26 or like backup service may be provided to ~~tore content treat was or could be delivered to the mobile terminal 10.
(0028] As shown in Figure 2, the application server 18 may be a typical web ~~erver having a central processing unit (CPU) 28 with the requisite memory 30 containing the software 32 and data necess<~ry for operation. The CPU 28 is associated with a network interface 34 facilitating communications with of:her de=vices, such as the wireless portal 16, mobile posit=ioning server 24, content server 22, online backup database 2.6, and profile database 20, on a packet-switched network through any r_umber of local i4,,~ a ~x~,T 9 area networks, router~, switches and hubs in traditional fashion.
[0029] The mobile r_erminal 10 of: the present invention helps reduce the load on the wireless communication network 12 by monitoring its location and determining if content is available. Thus, the need to continuously track the mobile terminal 10 and identify the availability of content is removed from the many tasks of the wireless communic:~tion network 12. Although the mobile terminal 10 may take on many configurations, an exemplary mobile terminal 10 is represented in Figure 3.
[0030] The mobile germinal 10 may include a receiver front end 36, a radio frequency transmitter section 38, an antenna 40 , a dup:lexer oz: switch 42 , a baseband processor 44, a systc;m controller 46, a frequency synthesizer 48, and an interface 50. The receiver front end 36 receives information bearing radio frequency signals from one or mere remote transmitters provided by the base station 14. A filter circuit 52 minimizes broadband interferen~~e in the received sigr..al, while a downconverter 54 downconvert.s the filtered, received signal to an intermediate or baseband frequency signal, which is then digiti:~ed into one or more digital streams.
The receiver front end 36 typically uses one or more mixing frequencies gc>_nerated by the frequency synthesizer 48.
[0031] The basebar~d processor 44 processes the digitized received s:iqnal to extract the information or data bits conveyed ir_ the received signal. This processing typically comprises demodulation, decoding, and error correction operations. A:~ such, the baseband processor 44 is genet-al ':.y itr~plemented in one or more digital signal proce;:~sors (~~SPs) .
[0032] On the transmit side, the baseband processor 44 receives digitized data from the system controller 46, which it encodes for transmissicn. The encoded data is output to the transnuitter 38, where it is used by a modulator 56 to modulate a carrier signal that is at a desired transmit frequency. A power amplifier 58 amplifies the modulated carrier signal to a level appropriate for trar_smission from the antenna 40.
[0033] A user may '_nteract with the mobile terminal 10 via the interface 50, which may include input/output (I/0) and interface ~~_Lrcuit=ry 60 associated with a microphone 62, a speaker 64, a keypad 66, <~nd a display 68. The I/O and interface circuitry 60 typically includes analog-to-digital converters, dig~tal-to-analog converters, amplifiers, and the like. Addytionally, it may include a voice ~~~ncoder; decoder, in whY_ch case it may communicate directly with the baseband processor 44.
[0034] The microphcne 62 will typically convert audio input, such as the a>;c;r' s voice, into an electrical signal, which is the:rl digitized and passed directly or indirectly to the ba:~e:band processor 44. Audio information encoded :i_r., the received signal is recovered by the baseband proce.sor 49:, and converted into an analog signal suitable for driving speaker 64 by the I/O
and interface circui:~x-y 60. The keypad 66 and display 68 enable the user to interact with the mobile terminal 10, input numbers to be c:~ialed, address book information, or the like, as well as monitor call progress information.
[0035] Particular:Ly useful for the present invention, the display 68 may be used for more data-intensive applications, such a ~ provic.ing mes:~ages and information using the short messaging service (SMS), paging, email, and the like. Messages may be sent to the mobile terminal 10 to indicate that content is available for r_4za4HU- 11 viewing, describe az~a:ilable content, or provide any information related to accessing, providing, and displaying content acc~ord~ng to the: present/ invention.
[0036] In one emboc:iment, the display 68 and keypad 6&
cooperate to provide ;soft-ke=y functions wherein icons displayed on the display 68 are presented t:o the user and selected upon pressi.nq an a:~sociated key. The icons may represent available cor~tent and trigger di:~play of the content when pressed. Additionally, icons may be provided to give the user options to request, view, ignore, and save content as will be discussed below in greater detail.
[0037] As noted, the mobile terminal 10 is configured to associate content c>r the availability of content with certain cells o.f the wirele:>s commu:nication network 12.
Preferably, the- syst~~rr~ controller 46 in thE: mobile terminal 10 maintain; a table for a number of cells and associated content i~nc.icia. The content irLdicia may simply be a flag ind.i.cating the availability of content as well as an address for content, o:r may consist of actual content.
[0038] A process running on the system controller 46, referred to herein a~ a device resident program (DRP), may be configured to access other processes running on the system controller 46 to identify the cell currently serving the mobile terminal 10. The DRP may also identify changes in ~ervicin.g cells. Depending on the configuration, the DRP may identify a servicing cell or a change in servicing c.:ells, and will then use the table to determine if content i.s associated with the cell.
Notably, the DRP may i.den-ify a cel=L using identification for the servicing bare station 14 or the like.
[0039] In one embodiment of the present invention, cells are associated with and used to define a commonly 14?84HU 17 recognized locality. By defin=_ng Localities with cells, users and cor_tent providers can more effectively identify or associate commonly represented :Localities without having to understand. cell layout and identification.
[0040] 'The table a;~social~ing cells and available content may be updat,:d based an the location of the mobile terminal 10 to avoid having the mobile terminal 10 keep track of all available cells and whether or not content is available :or thE: cells. The number of cells or localities represented in the table will vary depending on available: memory and the desired processing speed. For the purp.~~~ses of description, the table associating cells an<a available content is referred to as a locality table. Aca exemplary flow outlining operation of the system contro:Ller 46 in association with or under the contrcl of the D=~F is provided in Figures 4A and 4B.
[0041] Initially, a locality table is downloaded to the mobile terminal :LO (step 100), wherein the system controller 46 under c~he control of the DRP will monitor processes of the system controller 46 identifying the servicing cell (step 102). The DRP looks for a change in the servicing cells ;step 104). If there is no cell change, the DRP cont:i..nues to monitor the servicing cell (step 102).
[0042] When there is a change in the servicing cell (step 104), the new cell is identified (step 106), and the locality table is searched to see if the new servicing cell appears in the table (step 108). If no match is found (step 1.10), the system controller will request an update for- the locality table, typically from the application server 18 (step X12), The update will be received (step 114), and the DRP will update the locality table ( step 116 ) .

14~84HU t3
[0043] Assuming that a match is four_d, initially or after an update (step 110), the DRP will determine if content is available for th~= cell (step 113) . In one embodiment, the determination of wrether content is available is made by going v~o a position in the table for the servicing cell a:nd seeing if there is associated content available. the indication of content being available may simply x~e the existence of a flag.
Alternatively, the t~:x~~le ma~~ include select. content or an address for the content.
[0044] If the tab:lF: indicates that there_ is no content available for the servicing cell (step 120), the DRP will resume monitoring fo:r a change in cells and repeat the above process. If content :_s available (st:ep 120) , the DRP may determine co:nt.ent i:~ actually available via the application server 18 (step 122). Although the locality table may indicate t:kiG~.t content is available, the actual availability of the ~crntent may have changed since the locality table was updated, or there may be problems on the network preventi-1cacce~~s to the conter_t .
[0045] As such, a wequest: may be sent to the application server 1>3 to chE:ck the availability of the content (step 122). In return, ~he mobile terminal 10 will receive indicat.:Lon that: content is available (step 124) , and the DRP ma~,,r alert the user of the mobile terminal 10 accordingly by providing audible or display indicia to the user (step 126). In response, the user may provide an indic<~tion of whether or not the content should be provided tca the user (step 128).
[0046] If the use:_r declines to receive the content (step 130), the DRP will return to monitoring for a change in the servic:~.n.g cell.. If the user elects to receive the content (:step 1..0), the DRP will control the system controller tc request: the actual content via the 14284HU 14.
application server ~.8 cr from the c:cntent server 22 directly (step 132). In response, the mobile terminal 10 will receive the cor~.t~nt (step 134; and the DRP will direct the system coni~rolle.r 46 to provide the content to the user in a specified fashion (st.ep 136). Upon receiving the content, the user may simply review and discard the information, or the information may include additional links starting a iterative process of requesting and receiv.._ng additional information as desired by the user and directed by the content.
[0047] An overall communication flow diagram for an exemplary embodiment of the present invent~_on is illustrated in Figure 5. When a mobile terminal 10 requests content or cl-iecks for t:he availability of content, a content request ..s initiated. The content request is preferably a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) request, and =~; intended to be routed to the application server 18 to in~_tiate t:he execLaion of a content delivery ser~aice (st:ep 200) . As noted above, the application server 13, if so config,ared, may take any information sent with the content request, such as identification indicia. of the mobile termir_al 10 and the servicing cell, and ;rend a request for additional location information to the mobile positioning server 24 (step 202).
[0048] The mobile positioning server 24 represents any type of location determininc,~ system or service associated with the wireless communication network 12 or other positioning systems capable of identifying a location of the mobile terminal :l_0. Preferably, the location information is used t:o fine-tune the position of the mobile terminal 10 0~:- otherwise determine the position of the mobile terminal :l_0 within a given cell. The location request is preferabl~,r an extensible markup language (XML) 14284HU i5 message, but those skilled .in the art will recognize that the message may take many forms.
[0049] In response to the location requ<~st, the mobile positioning server 24 wil:1 provide additional location information to the applicat_i.on server 18 (step 204). The application server 1.8 will use the servicing cell and additional location informat=ion, if available, to access a profile in the pro:Ei.le database 20 to de t: ermine if content is available i>ased an the location and/or identified mobile terminal 1.0 (step 206). The application server 18 will receive the profile information (step 20j3), and request any available content from the content server 22 (step 210). Assuming that content is available,, the cc>ntent server 22 will provide the requested content. to the app_Lication server 18 (step 212), which may-send information to the mobile terminal indicating that content is available (step 214). In response, the mobile terminal 10 wi_Ll query the user of the mobile terminal _L0 to determine whether they would like to receive the content immediately (A), store the content for later viEwing (B) , or_ ignore the content (C) .
The mobile terminal 1.0 will send information pertaining to the user response t.o the application server 18 (step 216), which will reac.:t accordingly.
[0050] If the usei° elected to immediately receive the content (A), the app~..ication server 18 will deliver the content to the mobile: terminal 10 (step 218). The mobile terminal 10 will pref:~erably acknowledge receipt of the content by sending a corresponding acknowledgement (ACK) to the application server 18 (step 22.0).
(0051] If the usex:~ elected to stare the content for future retrieval (B), the application server 18 may deliver the content t:o the online backup database 26 for storage (step 222). Preferably, the online backup ~~~s4HU 16 database 26 will respond with an acknowledgement to the application server 1.8 (step 224). The application server 18 may then send an acknowledgement: of the backup to mobile terminal 10 fob~ future reference (step 226) .
[0052] If the user electad to ignore the content (C), the application server 18 wall take no further action beyond acknowledging oeceipt of the response to the mobile terminal 10 (st:ep 228) .
[0053] Those skil:Lr:d :in the art will. appreciate the scope and flexibility of the present invention. The inventive concepts provide for efficient tracking of mobile terminals 10 irr order_ to deliver select location-specific content to mobile terminals 10. The delivery of content may be contra=l.led by one or more profiles, which may be set up by the mabile terminal user or information providers. To deter;nine whE:ther content is available, multiple profiles may be checked to make sure that a user actually desires sel.~ct information. For example, an information provider may have numerous types of information availablF~ for a given location, whereas a user profile may be ~.ised to filter the information to provide only the information that is available and is desired by the user.
[0054] The application server 18 may support services wherein users and information providers may define profiles based on loc:alitie~, wherein locations are associated with cell:: or positions therein in the background. Thus, an information service provider or user may want to provide or receive, respectively, information when a u:;er is in Chinatown, Little Italy, or the Waterfront, all within a select city. In these cases, localities are based on real world locations and areas, and the systems architecture can determine which 14184HU. ~7 cells, groups of cel.l;~, sectors wiL:hin cells, or the like correspond to those a:reas_
[0055] The content provided or otherwise pushed to the mobile terminal 10 may .include advertisements, traffic advisories, weather advisories, maps, directions, historical information, and the like to a user when they are in a location that; would make the information relevant. Tn essence, a mobile terminal 10 may download a relatively manageab__e list= of cells for a particular locality and compare :_ts cup=rent location to the list.
If the current location is deemed to coma=in information, the mobile terminal 1C) may c;uery the application server 18 via a short messagF: service (SMS) , wire-~ess application protocol (WAP)/HTTP browses, os~ other in-band communication function, to provide such information.
Alternatively, the user may be notified that content is available and determine whether or not to receive the information.
[0056] Typically, the mobile terminal 10 will include a table defining mulvz.ple, contiguous area:, wherein the mobile terminal 10 w._i.l determine the chance from one area to another and access or otherwise alert the user that such information is available. For example, if an overall table relates to a gown, city, or ~:ip code, cell groupings within the table may represent business districts, shopping :3_i.strict:s, and tourist districts.
The tables may be updated a~~ the mcbile terminal 10 is moved outside of a coverage area.
[0057] The areas 3efined by cells may be broken into smaller areas if additional positioning information is obtainable. Further, the triggering event to determine if content is available may take many forms in addition to simply triggering upon entering a new area, such as when a servicing cel'~ is changed. The mobile terminal 10 14L84HU 1$
may be configured tc period:icaliy check for informat~or_ while within a given cell o~c area definition. Those skilled in the art wi~_:~ recognize numerous techniques to provide additional try:ggers and control content that are within the teachings provided herein.
[0058] Those skilled in t: he art will recognize improvements and mod.if=ications to the preferred embodiments of the p:re:sent _nvention. All such improvements and mod:il:ications are considered within the scope of the concept; disclosed herein and the claims that follow.
