Virtual location aware content using presence information data formation with location object (PIDF-LO)

摘要

The format of the Presence Information Data Format-Location Object (PIDF-LO) as defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is extended or modified to accommodate, within the standard PIDF-LO format, an association of geospacial location to virtual content on the Internet. A filename of virtual content is associated with geospatial location information (either a specific location, zone, or direction). The filename is inserted into a section of a Presence Information Data Format-Location Object (PIDF-LO) compliant document as defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). In this way, geospacial location information is associated with Internet based virtual content using a standard PIDF-LO format.

1. A method of associating a geospacial location to content on a network, comprising:
associating, at a physical network server, geospacial location information with XML content via an XML content identifier; and formulating, at said physical network server, a Presence Information Data Format-Location Object (PIDF-LO) document including said geospacial location information associated with said XML content via said XML content identifier.
