Abstract:
Nowadays applications and services, which utilize information about client’s geographical position, are becoming more and more popular. Such kind of applications are usually called Location-based services (LBS). Location-Based Service technology has great potential to add value to existing or new wireless mobile data services and for example for LBS developers, mobile advertising and spatial data providers. Virtually all of the big mobile device and services-oriented companies are acquiring start-up companies dedicated to mobile advertising based on location data. The IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), on the other hand, is meant to be global and access-independent and to have all Internet protocol (IP) based connectivity and service control architecture, as defined originally by 3GPP in their Release 5. Since that time, it also has evolved to cover the Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC) and provides reliable charging, security and quality of service. This research investigates the methods of analyzing spatial data (movement pattern extraction) and shows how ”smart” location services can be build on top of the IP Multimedia Subsystem. It shows that open Internet standards and open source solutions can be utilized to build an LBS service on top of IMS. As the standards are open, it is easy for anyone to see what’s behind the service and satisfy themselves that no proprietary solution has been used. The proposed software architecture opens possibility to add other models for spatial data analysis.
