Abstract

A wireless direction system provides service information. A comparison module logs onto a data server via a base station by wireless internet access, and outputs service information corresponding to location coordinates of a portable device in response to the data server storing the service information. A service information processing module receives the service information and provides it to users.

Claims

1. A wireless direction system comprising:

a plurality of satellites;

a data server storing service information;

a base station for mobile communications; and

a portable device comprising a processor, a global positioning system (GPS) receiver to receive signals output from the plurality of satellites after every predetermined interval and calculate location coordinates of the portable device, and a memory connected to the GPS receiver and the processor, the memory comprising a plurality of modules each of which stores one or more computerized instructions to be executed by the processor, wherein the plurality of modules comprises;

a comparison module to log onto the data server via the base station by wireless internet access, determine whether service information corresponding to the location coordinates of the portable device is present on the data server, and output the located service information; and

a service information processing module to receive the service information and provide it to users.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the portable device is a mobile phone.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the portable device is a notebook computer.

4. A wireless direction method comprising:

receiving signals output from a plurality of satellites, and calculating location coordinates of a portable device;

logging onto a data server via a base station by a wireless internet access, determining whether service information corresponding to the location coordinates of the portable device is present on the data server, and outputting the located service information; and

receiving the service information and providing the service information to users.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the portable device is a mobile phone.

6. The method of claim 4, wherein the portable device is a notebook computer.
