LOCATION-BASED MOBILE APPLICATION AND SERVICE SELECTION

摘要

A method, mobile device, application server, and computer program product, for requesting a geospatial-location-specific application associated with a geospatial-location-specific service that are both specific to a geospatial location corresponding to a current geospatial location of the mobile device. The mobile device determines a current geospatial location of the mobile device and sends a request message to an application server. The request message includes the current geospatial location of the mobile device and a request to receive a geospatial-location-specific application associated with a geospatial-location-specific service. The mobile device receives a response message including identification of a candidate geospatial-location-specific application associated with a geospatial-location-specific service, specific to a geospatial location within a defined nearby vicinity area of the current geospatial location of the mobile device. The mobile device displays a list of selectable choices prioritized by proximity of geospatial location associated with each candidate geospatial-location-specific application.

1. A method, with a mobile device including a processor coupled to memory, the mobile device being communicatively coupled with an application server, the method comprising:
determining a current geospatial location of the mobile device; storing a representation of the current geospatial location in the memory; sending a request message to the application server, the request message including a representation of the current geospatial location of the mobile device and a request for receiving at least one geospatial-location-specific application associated with a geospatial-location-specific service that are both specific to the current geospatial location of the mobile device; receiving, from the application server, a response message including identification of at least one candidate geospatial-location-specific application associated with a geospatial-location-specific service that are both specific to a geospatial location that is within a defined nearby vicinity area of the current geospatial location of the mobile device; and presenting at a user interface associated with the mobile device a list of user selectable choices prioritized by proximity of geospatial location associated with each identified candidate geospatial-location-specific application associated with a geospatial-location-specific service relative to the current geospatial location of the mobile device.
