Abstract

An intelligent location based services and navigation hybrid system comprising a client having location based service capability and a server, the system setting a condition for new or updates of a relevant information by the server and/or client, selecting the relevant information for the updates by the server, transmitting the relevant information from the server, receiving the updates of the relevant information by the client, and selecting an operational mode by the client.

Claims

1. An intelligent location based services and navigation hybrid system comprising a client having location based service capability and a server further comprises:

setting a condition for updates of a relevant information by the server or client, or a combination thereof;

selecting the relevant information for the updates by the server or client, or a combination thereof;

transmitting the relevant information from the server or client;

receiving the updates of the relevant information by the server or client; and

selecting an operational mode by the client.

2. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein setting the condition for the updates of the relevant information by the server or client, or a combination thereof, comprises setting an interval to send the updates from the server or client.

3. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein setting the condition for the updates of the relevant information by the server or client, or a combination thereof comprises setting event conditions for the server or client to send the updates.

4. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein determining the operational mode by the client comprises determining an on-line or off-line operation of the client.

5. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein selecting the relevant information for the updates by the server or client comprises determining a portion of the relevant information for optimization of the updates provided by the server or client.

6. The intelligent location based services and navigation hybrid system comprising a client having location based service capability and a server further comprises:

setting a condition for updates of a relevant information by the server or client, or a combination thereof;

requesting the updates for the relevant information by the server or client;

selecting the relevant information for the updates by the server or client;

transmitting the relevant information from the server or client;

receiving the updates of the relevant information by the server or client;

determining storage of the updates of the relevant information received by the client; and

selecting an operational mode as an on-line or off-line mode by the client.

7. The system as claimed in claim 6 wherein receiving the updates of the relevant information by the server or client comprises connecting a wired terminal to the client.

8. The system as claimed in claim 6 wherein transmitting the relevant information from the server or client comprises utilizing a communication path for the transmission of the updates of the relevant information.

9. The system as claimed in claim 6 wherein determining the storage of the updates of the relevant information received by the client comprises selectively storing the relevant information to a memory by the client.

10. The system as claimed in claim 6 wherein selecting the operational mode as on-line or off-line by the client comprises utilizing a memory of the client with the relevant information stored for off-line operation.

11. An intelligent location based services and navigation hybrid system comprising a client having location based service capability and a server comprising:

a control circuitry within the server or client for setting conditions for updates of a relevant information;

a selection circuitry within the server or client for selecting the relevant information for the updates by the server or client;

a transmission circuitry within the server or client for controlling the transmission of relevant information from the server or client;

an update circuitry within the server or client for controlling the updates of the relevant information received by the server or client; and

a mode select circuitry within the client for selecting an operational mode of the client.

12. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the control circuitry within the server or client for setting condition for the updates of the relevant information further comprises an interval setting circuitry for setting an interval to send the updates from the server.

13. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the control circuitry within the server or client, or a combination thereof, for setting condition for the updates of the relevant information further comprises an event setting circuitry for setting event conditions to for the server or client to send the updates.

14. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the mode select circuitry within the client comprises an on-line or off-line operation of the client.

15. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the selection circuitry within the server or client comprises selection optimization circuitry for selecting a portion of the relevant information as the updates provided by the server.

16. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the mode select circuitry within the client further comprises data storage for storing the updates of the relevant information received by the client.

17. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the update circuitry within the server or client further comprises an interface circuitry for connecting to a wired service provider to receive the relevant information.

18. The system as claimed in claim 11 further comprising a communication path between the server and the client for transmitting the updates of the relevant information between the server and client.

19. The system as claimed in claim 16 wherein the mode select circuitry within the client comprises a data selection circuitry for selectively storing the updates of the relevant information received by the client in the data storage of the client.

20. The system as claimed in claim 16 wherein the data storage provides memory for the relevant information during an off-line operation of the client.
