First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method, performed by at least one processor executing computer-readable instructions, for providing, to a wireless device, pre-stored auxiliary location-dependent information particular to a first area having wireless signal degradation and to which the wireless device is expected to travel, comprising:
- retrieving the pre-stored auxiliary location-dependent information, being particular to at least one location within the first area having signal degradation, for providing to the wireless device while the wireless device is (a) in a second area in which there is no signal degradation for the wireless device and (b) expected to travel to the first area; and
initiating providing of the pre-stored auxiliary location-dependent information to the wireless device while the wireless device is still in the second area, having no signal degradation for the wireless device, for use at the wireless device when the wireless device is located in the first area of signal degradation.

10. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method, for providing, to a wireless device, auxiliary location-dependent information particular to a first area having wireless signal degradation and to which the wireless device is expected to travel, comprising:
-
retrieving the pre-stored auxiliary location-dependent information, being particular to at least one location within the first area having signal degradation, for providing to the wireless device while the wireless device is (a) in a second area in which there is no signal degradation for the wireless device and (b) expected to travel to the first area; and initiating providing of the pre-stored auxiliary location-dependent information to the wireless device while the wireless device is still in the second area, having no signal degradation for the wireless device, for use at the wireless device when the wireless device is located in the first area of signal degradation. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method, performed by at least one processor executing computer-readable instructions, for providing location-dependent services to a wireless device, comprising:
-
tracking location of one or more wireless devices; identifying, based on results of the tracking, a wireless device, being an identified wireless device, of the one or more wireless devices, that is expected to enter a first area having wireless signal degradation; and initiating providing of auxiliary location-dependent information to the identified wireless device while the identified wireless device is still in a second area, in which there is no signal degradation for the identified wireless device, for use at the identified wireless device when the identified wireless device is located in the first area of signal degradation. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
