LOCAL WIRELESS SERVICES

摘要

A method of interworking between a mobile telephone (11) and a local service (1) in which information is conveyed between the local service (1) and the mobile telephone (11) over a local wireless communication channel (RI1). Service Notification messages are broadcast from the local service (1), over the wireless communication channel, to listening mobile telephones (11). An identification process is conducted between the mobile telephone (11) and the local service (1) over the wireless communication channel, the process only proceeding if the mobile telephone (11) is present within a localised region (10) which is a sub-region of the region (9) over which the service notification messages are broadcast.
