摘要

The present invention relates to a system which enables to determine locations of subscribers in indoor and/or small outdoor areas by means of mobile devices and to make notifications specific for subscribers over mobile device according to this location information determined. The inventive system comprises mobile device, receiver, detection unit, sound emission apparatus, wide area location monitoring unit, database, small area location monitoring unit, database and notification platform.

主权项

1. A system which provides location based notifications comprising:
at least one mobile device whereby notifications specific for a subscriber can be transmitted to that subscriber and which serves the purpose of determining the location where the subscriber is present; at least one receiver which enables ambient sound to be listened to by the mobile device; at least one detection unit; at least one sound emission apparatus which has a certain ID information and transmits this ID information owned by itself through a sound broadcasting that it performs; at least one wide area location monitoring unit; at least one database which is included within the wide area location monitoring unit and keeps the location information about the indoor areas where the sound emission apparatuses are installed; at least one small area location monitoring unit; at least one database which is included within the small area location monitoring unit and keeps the ID information and the location information of the sound emission apparatus and the information received by the small area location monitoring unit from the detection unit paired with subscriber data; at least one notification platform which receives the information recorded on the database by the small area location monitoring unit and sends notifications such as content, campaign, or offers related to the subscriber for these records over a remote communication network and receives an answer of the subscriber over the remote communication network in cases where an answer can be received from the subscriber by means of the mobile device wherein at least one detection unit which operates on the mobile device and essentially enables the sound received by means of the receiver to be examined and defined, can be powered on/off remotely; at least one wide area location monitoring unit which can power on and power off the detection unit remotely according to status of match between the coverage area where the subscriber is present and the area where the sound emission apparatus is installed by determining the mobile device location through the device's use of the remote communication network; and at least one small area location monitoring unit which tracks power on/off states of the detection unit, enables related components to reach these information by receiving and recording the information received from this unit.
