METHOD AND SMART CARD FOR PROVIDING LOCATION BASED SERVICE
First Claim
1. A smart card connectable to a mobile terminal comprising:
- a card-dedicated global positioning system (GPS) module for receiving radio signals from one or more satellites to extract navigation data contained in the radio signals;
a card-dedicated communication module for transceiving data related to the location-based services (LBS) in an interworking relationship with the mobile terminal;
a card-dedicated storage module for storing map data related to the location based services and indoor map data;
a card-dedicated indoor module for providing the location based services using the indoor map data; and
a card-dedicated LBS platform for providing the location based services through extracting a current location of the mobile terminal using the navigation data and controlling the card-dedicated indoor module to be switched into an active state if the card-dedicated GPS module fails to receive the radio signals from the satellite.
