Position information service providing system and method thereof
First Claim
1. A location based information service providing-method for use in a mobile communication network system including a content server which transmits a content, and a terminal which has location measurement means to execute a location measurement processing, reception means to receive a content from the content server, transmission means to transmit a content request which requests a content from the content server, and a recognition section to recognize function information issued for every operation, the method comprising:
- a first step in which if said recognition section recognizes the function information, said location measurement means executes a location measurement processing of determining a position of said terminal; and
a second step in which if a content request with a location measurement result is given, said transmission means transmits to the content server a content request with information concerning a geographical position of said terminal which is determined as a result of the location measurement processing in the first step.

Abstract
If a user 101 clicks a link to a specific URL (step 501), a terminal 102 transmits a content request to a content server 201 (step 502), and in parallel, starts a location measurement processing (step 203). Upon completion of the location measurement processing (step 204), the location measurement result thereof is maintained in a memory of the terminal 102 (step 503). If a link with a location measurement result request is clicked by the user 101 (step 202), the terminal 102 gets a position of the terminal itself, and transmits a content request with location based information to the content server 201. Waiting time which the user feels when a location based information service is provided is thus reduced.

13. A location based information service providing-method for use in a mobile communication network system including a content server which transmits a content, and a terminal which includes location measurement means to execute a first location measurement processing and a second location measurement processing having faster processing speed than the first location measurement processing, a recognition section to recognize function information issued for every operation, reception means to receive a content from the content server, and transmission means to transmit a content request requesting a content from the content server, the method comprising:
-
a first step in which when first function information is recognized by said recognition section, said location measurement means executes the second location measurement processing to determine a position of said terminal;
a second step in which said transmission means transmits to said content server a content request with information concerning the geographical position of said terminal determined as a result of the second location measurement processing in the first step;
a third step in which said location measurement means executes the first location measurement processing to determine the position of said terminal after the second step; and
a fourth step in which said transmission means transmits to said content server a content request with information concerning the geographical position of said terminal determined as a result of the first location measurement processing in the third step. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

24. A terminal for use in a mobile communication network system including said terminal and a content server which transmits a content in response to a content request from said terminal, said terminal comprising:
-
a recognition section to recognize function information issued for every operation;
location measurement means to execute a location measurement processing of determining a position of said terminal if the function information is recognized by said recognition section;
means to transmit a location measurement result of the location measurement processing and a content request, if a content request with a location measurement result is issued; and
means to receive a content transmitted in response to the content request transmitted.

25. A terminal for use in a mobile communication network system including said terminal and a content server which transmits a content in response to a content request from said terminal, said terminal comprising:
-
location measurement means to execute a first location measurement processing and a second location measurement processing having faster processing speed than the first location measurement processing, a recognition section to recognize function information issued for every operation;
reception means to receive a content from said content server;
transmission means to transmit to the content server a content request requesting a content;
control means to carry out a processing of making said location measurement means execute a second location measurement processing of determining a position of said terminal when first function information is recognized by said recognition section, a processing of making said transmission means transmit to said content server a content request with information concerning a geographical position of said terminal determined as a result of the second location measurement processing, a processing of making said location measurement means execute the first location measurement processing of determining the position of said terminal, and a processing of making said transmission means transmit to said content server a content request with information concerning the geographical position of said terminal determined as a result of the first location measurement processing.

26. A program recorded in a recording section of a terminal in a location based information service providing system using a mobile communication network, said program making said terminal execute:
-
a first processing in which a location measurement processing of determining a position of said terminal is executed when function information issued for every operation is recognized; and
a second processing in which, if a content request with a location measurement result is given, a content request with information concerning a geographical position of said terminal determined as a result of the location measurement processing is transmitted to a content server connected to said terminal via said mobile communication network.

27. A program recorded in a recording section of a terminal in a location based information service providing system using a mobile communication network, said program making said terminal execute:
-
a first processing in which when function information issued for every operation is recognized, a second location measurement processing of determining a position of said terminal is executed;
a second processing in which a content request with information concerning a geographical position of said terminal determined as a result of the second location measurement processing is transmitted to a content server connected to said terminal via said mobile communication network;
a third processing in which a first location measurement processing having slower processing speed than the second location measurement processing is executed; and
a fourth processing in which a content request with information concerning the geographical position of said terminal determined as a result of the first location measurement processing is transmitted to said content server.
