Abstract
The present invention relates to context or location aware computing, and in particular though not exclusively to providing an activity based view of a location. The invention provides a method for providing activity based information for a location (100), and comprises determining the location (410); automatically determining data about a process associated with an activity on a device within the location (430); receiving at another device within the location activity based information which is dependent on the determined process data (420).

53. A method of identifying a geographic location in dependence of activity based information associated with usage of communications devices within the location, the method comprising:
-
automatically determining data about a process associated with an activity on a communications device within a communications network; determining the location of the communications device performing the activity; associating the activity data with the location; requesting at another device a location associated with said activity; receiving at said other device said activity based information which is dependent on the determined process data and associated with the geographical location. - View Dependent Claims (54, 55, 56, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 76)

57. A method of profiling a location to provide activity based information associated with the location, the method comprising:
-
automatically detecting an activity performed by at least one wireless communications device; determining the location of each at least one wireless communications device performing said activity; determining data about a process associated with said activity and correlating this with information associated with the location of a plurality of said devices; receiving at another device, activity based information which is dependent on the determined process data, said activity based information providing a profile of the location, by said other device generating a request for said activity based information;
providing said activity based information in association with said location;
identifying the location of the other device; andproviding navigation information to said other device from its location to the location associated with the activity based information. - View Dependent Claims (58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63)

72. A system for providing activity based information for a location, the system comprising:
-
means for defining the location; means for automatically determining data about a process associated with an activity on a device within the location; means for receiving, at another device within the location, activity based information which is dependent on the determined process data, said system further comprising; means for generating a request by said other device for said activity based information; means to provide said activity based information in association with said location to said other device by identifying the location of the other device; and means to provide navigation information to said other device from its location to the location associated with the activity based information. - View Dependent Claims (73, 74, 75)
