Location aware content using presence information data formation with location object (PIDF-LO)
First Claim
1. A method of tying a geospacial location to Extensible Markup Language (XML) content on a network, comprising:
- receiving, at a physical network server, a Presence Information Data Format-Location Object (PIDF-LO) compliant document as defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), said PIDF-LO compliant document lacking geospacial location information identifying a specific physical zone;
in response to a determination that said PIDF-LO compliant document lacks said geospacial location information, identifying a universal resource locator (URL) of XML content to be tagged with said geospacial location information;
requesting said geospacial location information, through said physical network server, for said XML content;
associating, at said physical network server, said geospacial location information with said XML content; and
inserting, at said physical network server, said XML content and said associated said geospacial location information into a <
presence . . . >
section of said PIDF-LO compliant document.

Abstract
The format of the Presence Information Data Format-Location Object (PIDF-LO) as defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is extended or modified to accommodate, within the standard PIDF-LO format, an association of geospacial location to XML content on the Internet. A geospacial location is associated with Extensible Markup Language (XML) content on the Internet. The XML content is identified by a universal resource locator (URL), and associated with geospatial location information (either a specific location, zone, or direction). The URL is inserted into a <presence . . . > section of a Presence Information Data Format-Location Object (PIDF-LO) compliant document as defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). In this way, geospacial location information is associated with Internet based XML content using a standard PIDF-LO format.
