Abstract
A wireless system provides location dependent information to a user upon request by the user. The user request typically includes location information, user identification information, and a service indication. The network identifies the type of information to be provided, obtains the information as necessary from an information service provider, and downloads the information. The information downloaded depends at least on the geographical location of the user as well as information contained in the user'"'"'s service profile. Downloaded information may include text, graphical, audio, or a combination of types. Further interactions with the user are defined by the information service invoked. A typical application would allow a mobile telephone user standing near a movie theater to receive information regarding a movie showing and purchase tickets to a particular movie.
