SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING NAVIGATIONAL INFORMATION

摘要

For providing navigational information to a user of a mobile device (150), a browser (160) of a mobile device (150) is used to access through HTTP a remote computerized LBS server (100). With the location based services data from the LBS server (100), the browser (160) receives, in addition to geographical positions of points of interest, navigation command codes and at least one URL associated with a local HTTP server (211) located in the mobile device (150). The browser (160) receives instructions from the user for selecting a point of interest and a navigation command code. The local HTTP server (211) is accessed from the browser (160) by using the URL in association with the selected point of interest and the selected navigation command code. In response to the URL received in the local HTTP server (211), a navigation function is executed in the mobile device (150) in accordance with the selected navigation command code and the geographical position of the selected point of interest.
