First Claim
Patent Images
1. A location context-aware system integrating geographical contextual information, the location context-aware system comprising:
- a backend enterprise server executing an enterprise application, the enterprise application including an enterprise user interface;
a mobile device configured to interact with the enterprise application via manual input;
a location service operable to determine location context information of the mobile device;
a mobile application server in communication with the backend enterprise server and the mobile device, the mobile application server configured to generate a simplified user interface based on the enterprise user interface and the location context information, the simplified user interface comprising at least one field of the enterprise user interface which is pre-populated or not rendered based on the location context information, and further configured to transmit the simplified user interface to the mobile device.

Abstract
A location context-aware mobile system determines the location of a mobile device and updates a user interface based on the location of the device. By using the location of the mobile device to reduce the amount of information required to be entered by a user in a business process application, the system increases the feasibility of providing business process applications on mobile devices such as mobile telephones.
