Abstract

A sends and receives advertisement data through wireless LAN. The location based service system includes a plurality of commercial store base stations and at least one client end apparatus operatively connected to the commercial store base stations through the wireless LAN. Therefore, consumer can know the commodity information of the commercial store when he is within an accessible region of the commercial store base station. Moreover, the consumer can know desired commodity information and geographic location of the store with client end apparatus thereof.

Claims

1. A location based service system sending and receiving advertisement data through wireless network, comprising:

a plurality of commercial store base stations; and

at least one client end apparatus operatively connected to the commercial store base stations through the wireless network,

each of the commercial store base stations comprising a first advertisement processing device and a base station protocol device electrically connected to the first advertisement processing device;

wherein the first advertisement processing device is configured to receive and process the advertisement data, and the base station protocol device is configured to send the advertisement data and a geographic data for the commercial store base station,

wherein the client end apparatus comprises a second advertisement processing device and a client end protocol device electrically connected to the second advertisement processing device,

wherein the client end protocol device is configured to receive the advertisement data and the geographic data send from for the commercial store base stations; and

the second advertisement processing device is configured to display the advertisement data and a location corresponding to the geographic data.

2. The system in claim 1, wherein the first advertisement processing device is one of desktop computer, laptop computer, server system, data processing system, portable device, mobile phone, personal communication system and personal digital assistant (PDA).

3. The system in claim 1, wherein the base station protocol device comprises a wireless LAN (local area network) module, a GPS module and a microprocessor.

4. The system in claim 3, wherein the wireless LAN module is operatively connected to the client end apparatus through the wireless network to send advertisement data and communicate with other commercial store base stations.

5. The system in claim 3, wherein the GPS module is configured to receive a GPS signal and inform a location of the commercial store base station.

6. The system in claim 3, wherein the microprocessor comprises a channel allocating unit, a management unit for base station group and an advertisement data encoding/decoding unit.

7. The system in claim 6, wherein the channel allocating unit is configured to compare ID values associated with the plurality of commercial store base stations, wherein the commercial store base station with a smallest ID value is a host base station to allocate frequency channels for the commercial store base stations.

8. The system in claim 6, wherein the management unit for base station group is configured to set up a base station group for a plurality of commercial store base stations.

9. The system in claim 6, wherein the advertisement data encoding/decoding unit is configured to receive and decode an advertisement data from the first advertisement processing device, and then encode the advertisement data according to required data format of the wireless LAN module, and then send the advertisement data according to the wireless network.

10. The system in claim 1, wherein the client end protocol device comprises a wireless LAN module, a GPS module and a microprocessor.

11. The system in claim 10, wherein the wireless LAN module is operatively connected to the wireless network to receive advertisement data sent from the commercial store base stations.

12. The system in claim 10, wherein the GPS module is configured to receive a GPS signal and inform a location of the second advertisement processing device.

13. The system in claim 10, wherein the microprocessor comprises a channel scanning unit and an advertisement data decoding unit.

14. The system in claim 13, wherein the channel scanning unit is configured to switch a reception frequency to one of frequency channels of the commercial store base stations in order to receive advertisement data provided by neighbor commercial store base stations.

15. The system in claim 13, wherein the advertisement data decoding unit is configured to decode advertisement data provided by neighbor commercial store base station and to send the decoded data to the second advertisement processing device for display.

16. The system in claim 1, wherein the second advertisement processing device is one of desktop computer, laptop computer, server system, data processing system, portable device, mobile phone, personal communication system and personal digital assistant (PDA).

17. The system in claim 1, wherein the plurality of commercial store base stations are operatively connected through the wireless network to form a base station group.
