Mobile Terminal Location to IP Address Mapping
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional location-based services are limited in providing detailed and accurate information to users, as they primarily rely on processed coordinates from mobile terminals, failing to meet users' diverse requirements for real-time and provider-specific services.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that enable mobile terminals to convert location information into an IP address, allowing automatic access to a service provider's cyber space, thereby providing users with real-time service information by matching spatial coordinates with service providers' IP addresses.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If conventional location-based services process coordinates from mobile terminals, then basic location information can be provided, but the services fail to provide detailed and accurate information to satisfy users' requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a service provider's cyber space as an intermediary layer between the mobile terminal's location data and the information service delivery. The mobile terminal's coordinates are mapped to a service provider's IP address through the cyber space, which then provides detailed and accurate location-based information. This intermediary enables the system to deliver comprehensive services by leveraging the service provider's information resources rather than relying solely on raw coordinate processing.
2Productivity
If mobile terminals convert location information to IP addresses and access service providers' cyber space, then real-time service information can be received, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal mapping mechanism that can handle multiple service providers and various types of location-based services through a common architecture. The system uses a standardized approach where mobile terminal coordinates are converted to service provider IP addresses through a mapping table, enabling the same framework to serve diverse information needs (subway maps, photographs, local services) without requiring separate systems for each service type.
3Ease of operation
If conventional services provide processed coordinate information, then simple location data can be delivered, but the services cannot meet users' diverse requirements for real-time and provider-specific information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent pre-establishes mapping tables that associate geographic coordinates with service provider IP addresses before actual service delivery. This preliminary action enables the system to quickly match user location with appropriate service providers without complex real-time calculations. The mapping tables are prepared in advance, allowing the system to seamlessly provide customized services based on user location while maintaining operational simplicity.
Data Source
AI summary
A location-based information service method for improving utilization of location-based information services and a mobile terminal for implementing the location-based information service method are provided. A method for providing an information service using a mobile terminal includes acquiring, at a mobile terminal, location information, determining an Internet Protocol (IP) address based on the location information, and receiving service information from a cyber space associated with a service provider that corresponds to the IP address.
