Mobile Terminal Location Content Delivery via Access Point IP
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current recommendation systems for mobile terminals cannot provide content based on environmental information such as location or time zone, as they primarily rely on individual user attributes like face images.
Innovation Solution
A mobile terminal and access point related content providing server system that identifies a user's location through GPS or public wireless LAN usage information, associating this location with relevant content URLs stored in a database, and provides the user with content tailored to their location.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If recommendation is performed based on individual information such as face image, then personalization is improved, but environmental context information such as location or time zone cannot be utilized
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple information sources including face image recognition results, GPS location data, and wireless LAN access point information into a unified recommendation system. This merging allows the system to simultaneously utilize individual characteristics and environmental context for comprehensive content recommendations.
Solution Approach 2:
The mobile terminal is designed to perform multiple functions: face image acquisition and recognition, GPS location tracking, wireless LAN connectivity, and content recommendation. This multi-functionality enables the system to gather diverse data types and process them through a single integrated recommendation engine.
2Ease of operation
If pull-type content provision is used where users search for content, then user autonomy is improved, but precious contents may not be provided to users
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary content preparation and recommendation based on user attributes and environmental information before the user actively searches. By pre-analyzing user preferences and current context, the system proactively presents relevant content, ensuring precious contents are delivered before the user's search concludes.
Solution Approach 2:
The recommendation system incorporates feedback loops where user interactions with recommended content are analyzed to refine future recommendations. This feedback mechanism ensures that the system learns from user behavior and continuously improves content delivery, preventing precious contents from being overlooked.
3Measurement precision
If GPS or wireless LAN information is used for location identification, then location accuracy is improved, but communication and processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an access point related content providing server as an intermediary that handles complex processing tasks. The mobile terminal collects GPS and wireless LAN data, then transmits this information to the server which performs the computationally intensive location identification and content matching, reducing the processing burden on the mobile device.
Data Source
AI summary
A content based on location information is provided to a mobile terminal. The mobile terminal 10 is communicatively connected to an access point related content providing server that includes a storage unit having an access point related content database 250 in which IP addresses and URLs of contents are associated with each other and are stored. The mobile terminal 10 performs a communication with a wireless access point to access a public network, acquires an IP address of the wireless access point, and transmits the acquired IP address to the access point related content providing server. The mobile terminal 10 receives an URL of a content that is associated with the transmitted IP address or location information identified by the transmitted IP address, and acquires the content designated by the received URL.
