NAVIGATION METHOD, SYSTEM AND APPARATUS USING UNIQUE LOCATION IDENTIFIERS OF BASE STATIONS

摘要

Methodologies for alerting a user to his or her location using terrestrial wireless signals are included. The methodologies include a method for alerting a user to his or her position relative to a predetermined location in response to a unique identifying signal from a terrestrial base station as well as a navigation method based upon one or more uniquely identifying signals from one or more terrestrial base stations positioned along a desired route. Also disclosed is a mobile terminal, for example, a mobile telephone, that is adapted to alert a user as to his or her location and aid in navigating the user through a selected route in response to the position of the mobile terminal relative to one or more terrestrial base stations.
