Methods, device and systems for allowing modification to a service based on quality information

摘要

The disclosure is directed to a method, computer program product, mobile device allowing for configuring a service accessible via the mobile device. The mobile device is configured to allow a determination of its location data using one or more of a plurality of location techniques. The configuring of the service comprises obtaining quality information including a designation of the location technique used for determining said location data and at least partly a quality of said location data; and integrating said quality information at least partly with said service to allow a modification of said service based on said quality information. Various examples of services enabled or enhanced by this capability are described including camera service, navigation services, data sharing services. Various configurations of computer program products, mobile devices and systems for enabling the services above are also described.

1. A method of configuring a service accessible via a mobile device, the mobile device configured to allow a determination of location data indicative of a location of the mobile device using one or more of a plurality of location techniques, the method comprising:
obtaining, by the mobile device, quality information including a designation of a location technique, selected from the plurality of location techniques, used for determining the location data, the quality information including at least partly a quality of the location data, wherein the service is a geotagging service configured to associate the location data with a data file comprising primary data; and integrating, by the mobile device, the quality information at least partly with the service to allow a modification of the service based on the quality information, wherein the quality information includes a location accuracy, and wherein the modification of the service comprises determining, based at least in part on user input, whether to: associate the location data with the data file immediately, defer association of the location data with the data file pending an improvement in the location accuracy using an alternative location technique belonging to the plurality of location techniques, or cancel association of the location data with the data file, wherein the integrating with the service is modified if the quality information is outside of a quality criterion range, the quality criterion range being user-selectable or pre-determined for the service.
