Abstract

The invention includes a computerized method for providing a location based service, the method comprising reporting a location of at least one user client device to a location based service program, querying a database of location based applications of the location based service program to identify one or more location based applications associated with the location of the at least one user client device, and launching at least one of the one or more location based applications on the user client device so as to offer a user experience for the location of the user client device.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

executing, at a device including one or more processors, a location-based service program that provides an interface for a first location-specific service related to a first location of the device;

receiving user preference data comprising information obtained during interaction of a user with the first location;

determining a second location of the device that corresponds to the received user preference information and is different from the first location;

responsive to the determination, querying a database for a second location-specific service using the second location of the device and received user preference information from the interaction of the user with the first location; and

modifying the location-based service program interface to display the second location-specific service.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the first location-specific service comprises one or more applications related to the first location to be sent to the device from a data store over a network.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the second location-specific service comprises one or more applications related to the second location to be sent to the device from a data store over a network.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein one of the first and second location-specific services includes at least one of navigation services for a location and inventory services for items at a location.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising receiving a signal identifying a presence of the device at the second location.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising advertising other location based services on the location-based service program interface.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the first location-specific service shares a theme with the first location of the device.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising identifying the second location-specific service associated with the second location of the mobile device.

9. A system comprising:

one or more processors; and

a non-transitory computer readable storage medium communicatively coupled to the one or more processors, wherein the non-transitory computer readable storage medium includes instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations including;

executing, at a device, a location-based service program that provides an interface for a first location-specific service related to a first location of the device;

receiving user preference data comprising information obtained during interaction of a user with the first location;

determining a second location of the device that corresponds to the received user preference information;

responsive to the determination, querying a database for a second location-specific service using the second location of the device and received user preference information from the interaction of the user with the first location; and

modifying the location-based service program interface to display the second location-specific service.

10. The system of claim 9, wherein the device includes location finding equipment to determine the first location of the device.

11. The system of claim 9, wherein the first location-specific service comprises one or more applications related to the first location to be sent to the device from a data store.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein the location-based service program interface includes a user input region for a user to allow the one or more applications related to the first location to be launched on the device.

13. The system of claim 9, wherein the second location-specific service comprises one or more applications related to the second location to be sent to the device from a data store.

14. The system of claim 13, wherein the location-based service program interface includes a user input region for a user to allow the one or more applications related to the second location to be launched on the device.

15. The system of claim 9, further comprising instructions to identify the second location-specific service associated with the second location of the mobile device.

16. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations including:

executing, at a device, a location-based service program that provides an interface for a first location-specific service comprising one or more applications related to a first location of the device;

receiving user preference information comprising information obtained during interaction of a user with the first location;

determining a second location of the device that corresponds to the received user preference information;

responsive to the determination, querying a database for a second location-specific service comprising one or more applications using the second location of the device and received user preference information from the interaction of the user with the first location; and

modifying the location-based service program interface to display the second location-specific service.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 16, further comprising instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations including:

generating an alert on the device, wherein the alert identifies services associated with the second location.

18. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 16, further comprising instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations including:

generating an alert on the device, wherein generating includes receiving a signal identifying a presence of the device at the second location.

19. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 16, further comprising instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations including:

advertising other location based services on the location-based service program interface.

20. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 16, further comprising generating a display of the location-based service program interface.
