Method and system for using a mobile terminal as a location-based reminder
First Claim
1. A method for providing location based services in a mobile device, the method comprising:
- receiving at a mobile terminal a wireless signal comprising network identifying information;
generating and storing within said mobile terminal, at least one record based on an incoming message received from one of a plurality of senders specified within said mobile terminal, wherein a keyword corresponding to said generated at least one record stored within said mobile terminal is received from said one sender separately from said incoming message;
comparing said keyword corresponding to said generated at least one record stored within said mobile terminal with at least a portion of said network identifying information;
if said keyword matches at least a portion of said network identifying information, generating a notification at said mobile terminal, said generated notification being repeatedly communicated by said mobile terminal until a message associated with said notification is output by said mobile terminal;
determining by said mobile terminal, a status of said generated notification; and
controlling operation of said mobile terminal based on said determined status.

Abstract
Methods and systems for using a mobile terminal as a location-based reminder are disclosed. Aspects of one method may include a mobile terminal receiving a wireless signal comprising network identifying information, which may be, for example, a wireless network identifier string. The wireless network identifier string may be, for example, an extended service set IDs (ESSID) of WiFi access points in accordance with IEEE 802.1x. The received wireless network identifier may be authenticated, where the authentication may comprise using a SSL protocol or 802.1x/EAP-TTLS protocol. The mobile terminal may compare a keyword corresponding to a record stored within the mobile terminal with the wireless network identifier string. If the keyword is found in the wireless network identifier string, a notification may be generated to alert a user of the mobile terminal.

19. A system for providing location based services in a mobile device, the system comprising:
-
one or more circuits for use in a mobile terminal, said one or more circuits comprise a wireless interface, wherein said wireless interface enables reception of a wireless signal comprising network identifying information; said one or more circuits are operable to generate and store within said mobile terminal, at least one record based on an incoming message received from one of a plurality of senders specified within said mobile terminal, wherein a keyword corresponding to said generated at least one record stored within said mobile terminal is received from said one sender separately from said incoming message; said one or more circuits are operable to compare said keyword corresponding to said generated at least one record stored within said mobile terminal with at least a portion of said network identifying information; said one or more circuits are operable to generate notification at said mobile terminal, if said keyword matches at least a portion of said network identifying information, said generated notification being repeatedly communicated by said mobile terminal until a message associated with said notification is output by said mobile terminal; said one or more circuits are operable to determine a status of said generated notification; and said one or more circuits are operable to control operation of said mobile terminal based on said determined status. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)
