First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for a location-based synchronization in a mobile terminal, comprising the steps of:
- determining a location of said mobile terminal optionally containing a synchronization client; and
providing, based on a predetermined criterion, by a server to said mobile terminal, optionally to said synchronization client of said mobile terminal, a sync server signal containing application content specific to said location, thus implementing said location-based synchronization.

Abstract
This invention describes a new methodology for a location-based synchronization of content in mobile terminals (e.g., wireless devices, portable devices, mobile communication devices, mobile phones, etc.). The present invention enables a new usage model for mobile terminals: it makes it possible to have the content of the mobile terminal be dependent on a current position/location of the mobile terminal. This will allow new exciting applications and services and thus new business opportunities. It can also be used for improving the usability of content applications.

10. A mobile terminal capable of a location-based synchronization, comprising:
-
a synchronization client, responsive to an application content signal containing application content specific to a location of said mobile terminal, thus implementing said location-based synchronization;
a receiving/transmitting/processing module, responsive to a sync server signal containing said application content and converting said sync server signal to said application content signal, for providing said application content signal to said synchronization client, wherein said sync server signal is provided by a server based on determining said location and using a predetermined criterion. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
