Embodiment Construction

[0025] Embodiments of methods, apparatus and computer programs for associating crowd sourced point of interest information with regions of a connectivity graph are disclosed. In the following description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of embodiments of the invention. It is readily apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that the embodiments of the invention may be practiced without these specific details or with an equivalent arrangement. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram format in order to avoid unnecessarily obscuring embodiments of the invention.

[0026] figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a system 100 capable of updating POI information for providing location-based services using a connectivity graph based on cell broadcast information according to an embodiment. In some embodiments, a connectivity graph is a graph that includes connecti...

Abstract

An approach is provided for crowd sourcing and grouping points-of-interest based on cell broadcast message information. Reception of a message from a mobile terminal is caused, at least in part. The message specifies point-of-interest information and an associated area name corresponding to one of a plurality of cells of a communication network. The message is parsed to determine the point-of-interest information and the associated area name. A connectivity graph specifying relationships among the cells is selectively updated with the point-of-interest information.

Description

Background technique [0001] Service providers (eg, wireless, cellular, etc.) and device manufacturers face an ongoing challenge to deliver value and convenience to customers, eg, by offering attractive network services. These services may include location-based point-of-interest services. Many location-based services rely heavily on Global Positioning System technology and information on determining a user's location via the Internet to provide location-based point-of-interest services. However, user participation in these location-based services may be limited because the user may not have access to devices capable of using such technology. Technical difficulties therefore arise in providing location-based services to users of such devices. Contents of the invention [0002] Therefore, a need exists for a method for grouping points of interest according to area names. [0003] According to one embodiment, a method includes causing, at least in part, receipt of a message ...
