Mobile communication system enabling location associated messages
First Claim
1. Mobile communication system (MS) comprisinga plurality of mobile terminals (MT), a plurality of base-station subsystems (BSS) for communicating wirelessly with the mobile terminal, each base station subsystem being adapted for communicating with a network subsystem (NSS), comprising a switching centre (MSC), the mobile switching centre (MSC) being adapted for communicating with other mobile switching centres and with a dedicated server (DS) over the network, the mobile communication system comprises position means (PPS) for locating the geographical position of individual mobile terminals, the dedicated server being adapted to store message data in an information database (IDB) and link said message data to a first set of locations, the dedicated server (DS) being adapted to engage in on-line search sessions with individual searching mobile terminals for forwarding stored message data to such searching mobile terminals upon request and in accordance with a user specified search profile, in which a second set of locations are defined, whereby data messages linked to the first set of locations overlapping or falling within the second set of locations will be presented to the searching mobile and whereby at least one of the first and second set of locations is associated with the actual position of a mobile terminal as given by the position means (PSS), and whereby the message data is adapted to be created on a mobile terminal (MT) and issued to the dedicated server on-line.

Abstract
Mobile communication system (MS) comprising a plurality of mobile terminals (MT), being adapted for communicating with a dedicated server (DS) has been described. The mobile communication system comprises position means (PSS) for locating the geographical position of individual mobile terminals. The dedicated server is being adapted to store message data on-line in an information database (IDB) and link such message data to a first set of locations, the dedicated server is furthermore being adapted to engage in on-line search sessions with individual searching mobile terminals for forwarding stored message data to such searching mobile terminals upon request and in accordance with a user specified search profile involving a particular set of locations associated with the message and/or with an enquiring mobile.
