DCFirst Claim
1. A method for providing assistance to a user of a mobile device, the method comprising:
- receiving a signal from a geographic location that is positioned within a space defined by an effective reception range of a short-range wireless communication transceiver, wherein the signal is received from the short-range wireless communication transceiver, the signal includes an identification code, and the receiving is by a wireless mobile device of a user located within the space;
processing the signal on the mobile device, the processing including;
identifying a retrieval location of information associated with the signal,wherein the processing the signal is performed exclusively by a software application located on the mobile device and independently of any networks;
based on the processing, retrieving the information from the retrieval location using the mobile device, the information including an address of a security system;
monitoring the mobile device for inputs; and
in response to receiving an input at the mobile device that includes a security request, transmitting the security request to the security system.

Abstract
According to an aspect, a method for providing assistance to a user of a mobile device includes receiving a signal from a short-range wireless communication transmitter. The signal includes an identification code, and the receiving is by a mobile device of a user located within the space. The signal is processed on the mobile device and includes: determining whether information associated with the signal is stored on the mobile device; and identifying a retrieval location of the information based on the determining and on the signal. The processing of the signal is performed exclusively by a software application located on the mobile device and independently of any networks. Based on the processing, information that includes an address of a security system is retrieved using the mobile device. The mobile device is monitored for inputs and based on receiving a security request, the security request is transmitted to the security system.
