Abstract

The invention includes a computerized method for providing a location based service, the method comprising reporting a location of at least one user client device to a location based service program, querying a database of location based applications of the location based service program to identify one or more location based applications associated with the location of the at least one user client device, and launching at least one of the one or more location based applications on the user client device so as to offer a user experience for the location of the user client device.

Claims

1. A computer implemented method, comprising:

executing, at a mobile device including one or more processors, a location-based service program that provides an interface for a first location-specific experience comprising one or more application services related to a first location of the mobile device;

learning user preference information comprising information obtained during interaction of a user with the first location;

generating a display of the location-based service program interface;

determining a second location of the mobile device that corresponds to the learned user preference information and is different from the first location;

responsive to the determination, querying a database of a plurality of location-based application services using the second location of the mobile device and learned user preference information from the interaction of the user with the first location;

identifying a second location-specific experience comprising one or more of the plurality of location-based applications associated with the second location of the mobile device; and

modifying the location-based service program interface to display the identified location-specific experience.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein one of the first and second location-specific experience includes at least one of navigation services for a location and inventory services for items at a location.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein one of the first and second location-specific experience includes a social application for interacting with other user client devices.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein modifying the location-based service program interface includes downloading one of the first and second location-specific experience.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

generating an alert on the mobile device, wherein the alert identifies services associated with the second location.

6. The method of claim 5, further comprising:

receiving a signal identifying a presence of the mobile device at the second location.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising advertising other location based services on the location-based service program interface.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising learning user preference information comprising information obtained during interaction of a user with the first location-specific experience.

9. A system comprising:

one or more processors; and

a non-transitory computer readable storage medium communicatively coupled to the one or more processors, wherein the non-transitory computer readable storage medium includes instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations including;

executing, at a mobile device, a location-based service program that provides an interface for a first location-specific experience comprising one or more application services related to a first location of the mobile device;

learning user preference information comprising information obtained during interaction of a user with the first location;

generating a display of the location-based service program interface;

determining a second location of the mobile device that corresponds to the learned user preference information;

responsive to the determination, querying a database of a plurality of location-based application services using the second location of the mobile device and learned user preference information from the interaction of the user with the first location;

identifying a second location-specific experience comprising one or more of the plurality of location-based applications associated with the second location of the mobile device; and

modifying the location-based service program interface to display the identified location-specific experience.

10. The system of claim 9, wherein one of the first and second location-specific experience includes at least one of navigation services for a location and inventory services for items at a location.

11. The system of claim 9, wherein the operations further include:

generating an alert on the mobile device, wherein the alert identifies services associated with the location.

12. The system of claim 9, wherein the operations further include:

generating an alert on the mobile device, wherein generating the alert includes receiving a signal identifying a presence of the mobile device at the second location.

13. The system of claim 9, wherein the operations further include:

advertising other location based services on the location-based service program interface.

14. The system of claim 9, wherein the operations further include:

learning user preference information comprising information obtained during interaction of a user with the first-location specific experience.

15. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations including:

executing, at a mobile device, a location-based service program that provides an interface for a first location-specific experience comprising one or more application services related to a first location of the mobile device;

learning user preference information comprising information obtained during interaction of a user with the first location;

generating a display of the location-based service program interface;

determining a second location of the mobile device that corresponds to the learned user preference information;

responsive to the determination, querying a database of a plurality of location-based application services using the second location of the mobile device and learned user preference information from the interaction of the user with the first location;

identifying a second location-specific experience comprising one or more of the plurality of location-based applications associated with the second location of the mobile device; and

modifying the location-based service program interface to display the identified location-specific experience.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15, wherein one of the first and second location-specific experience includes at least one of navigation services for a location, inventory services for items at a location, and a social application for interacting with other user client devices.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15, wherein modifying the location-based service program interface includes downloading one of the first and second location-specific experience.

18. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15, further comprising instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations including:

generating an alert on the mobile device, wherein the alert identifies services associated with the second location.

19. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15, further comprising instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations including:

generating an alert on the mobile device, wherein generating includes receiving a signal identifying a presence of the mobile device at the second location.

20. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15, further comprising instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations including:

advertising other location based services on the location-based service program interface.
