Abstract

A method of operation of a location based system includes: submitting a tagged message having a message content, a trigger, and a recipient identifier; determining a location reading for locating a recipient associated with the recipient identifier; determining a temporal reading associated with the recipient identifier; and displaying the message content on a device having the recipient identifier, the message content displayed based on the trigger with the location reading, the temporal reading, or a combination thereof.

Claims

1. A method of operation of a location based system comprising:

submitting a tagged message having a message content, a trigger, and a recipient identifier with a control unit;

determining a location reading for locating recipients associated with the recipient identifier;

determining a temporal reading associated with the recipient identifier;

comparing the location reading, the temporal reading, or a combination thereof with the trigger for displaying the message content to the recipients when one of the recipients met a condition of the trigger of being inside a navigation boundary for a minimum required time;

assigning the recipient identifier for indicating a first user to arrive at a prearranged destination; and

retaining a presentation duration of the tagged message.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

selecting the trigger to be an activated trigger based on the location reading and the trigger; and

selecting the tagged message associated with the activated trigger.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein submitting the tagged message includes assigning the recipient identifier based on a personal familiarity.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising selecting another tagged message based on invalid data for the recipient identifier of the tagged message.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising logging the message content, the recipient identifier, and the trigger.

6. A method of operation of a location based system comprising:

submitting a tagged messages having message contents, triggers, and a recipient identifier with a control unit;

determining a location reading for locating recipients associated with the recipient identifier;

determining a temporal reading associated with the recipient identifier;

filtering out the tagged message having the recipient identifier as an invalid;

comparing the location reading, the temporal reading, or a combination thereof with the trigger for displaying the message content to the recipients having the recipient identifier as valid when one of the recipients met a condition of the trigger of being inside a navigation boundary for a minimum required time;

assigning the recipient identifier for indicating a first user to arrive at a prearranged destination; and

retaining a presentation duration of the tagged message.

7. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein submitting the tagged message includes specifying the trigger having the location trigger including a location-related condition associated with the recipient identifier.

8. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein submitting the tagged message includes specifying the trigger having the temporal trigger including a time-related condition associated with the recipient identifier.

9. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising selecting a selected message includes generating a recipient identifier request based on the activated trigger.

10. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising selecting point of interest information from search data based on the location reading.

11. A location based system comprising:

a control unit coupled to a storage unit and a user interface for submitting a tagged message having a message content, a trigger, and a recipient identifier;

a location unit, coupled to the control unit, for determining a location reading for locating recipients associated with the recipient identifier; and

wherein the control unit is for;

determining a temporal reading associated with the recipient identifier;

comparing the location reading, the temporal reading, or a combination thereof with the trigger for displaying the message content to the recipients when one of the recipients met a condition of the trigger of being inside a navigation boundary for a minimum required time;

assigning the recipient identifier for indicating a first user to arrive at a prearranged destination; and

retaining a presentation duration of the tagged message.

12. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the control unit is for:

selecting the trigger to be an activated trigger based on the location reading and the trigger; and

selecting the tagged message associated with the activated trigger.

13. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the control unit coupled to the storage unit and the user interface is for assigning the recipient identifier based on a personal familiarity.

14. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the control unit coupled to the user interface is for selecting another tagged message based on invalid data for the recipient identifier of the tagged message.

15. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the control unit coupled to the storage unit is for logging the message content, the recipient identifier, and the trigger.

16. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the control unit is for:

filtering the tagged message having the recipient identifier as an invalid; and

comparing the location reading, the temporal reading, or a combination thereof with the trigger for displaying the message content to the recipients having the recipient identifier as valid when one of the recipients met a condition of the trigger.

17. The system as claimed in claim 16 wherein the control unit coupled to the user interface is for specifying the location trigger including a location-related condition of a device associated with the recipient identifier.

18. The system as claimed in claim 16 wherein the control unit coupled to the user interface is for specifying the temporal trigger including a time-related condition of the device associated with the recipient identifier.

19. The system as claimed in claim 16 wherein the control unit coupled to the storage unit is for generating a recipient identifier request based on the activated trigger.

20. The system as claimed in claim 16 wherein the control unit coupled to the user interface and the communication unit is for selecting point of interest information from search data, based on the location reading.
