Study Notes
Location Based Services
- Software services for mobile devices require knowledge of their geographic location
- Applications collect geospatial data in real-time using various technologies.
- Location-based services are important for tracking, fleet management, road tax, tourist guides, navigation systems, emergency services, mobile shopping, and mobile gaming.
Development of LBS
- LBS have existed since the mid-1960s.
- Developed and used by the US military
- GPS technology made freely available to spark innovation in the 1980s
- A similar version called Galileo was developed by the EU in the early 2000s, and there's a joint venture with European Space Agency.
- There has been a huge expansion and improvement in wireless technologies from 1G to 5G. This has dramatically advanced mobile device technology, including smartphones and tablets.
- The increase in this technology is essential for the widespread use of LBS
Components of LBS
- Localization: Determining a user's location using technologies (GPS, Wi-Fi, cellular networks, Bluetooth).
- Service Provision: Providing relevant information or services based on the user's location.
- Communication: Transmitting location data and service information between the user's devices and service providers.
Importance of LBS
- Enhanced marketing efforts: Target specific locations
- Improved customer engagement: Real-time interactions
- Valuable customer insights: Analytics about customer behavior and preferences
- Competitive advantage: Businesses using LBS effectively
- Easy adoption: Relying on GPS, Wi-Fi, and cellular networks for personalized services
How LBS Work
- Data Acquisition: Collecting data from GPS, Wi-Fi signals, and cellular towers, including information about the user's location.
- Data Processing: Refining and enhancing location data accuracy through algorithms.
- Location Determination: Determining the user's precise location based on the processed data.
- Service Delivery: Delivering location-specific information and services.
Industries Using LBS
- Navigation and mapping
- Marketing and advertising
- Emergency services
- Social networking
- Health and fitness
- Travel and tourism
- Asset tracking
- Environmental monitoring
- Gaming
Challenges of LBS
- Security risks: Location companies share real-time location information
- Privacy concerns: Location services access location data.
- Accuracy issues: LBS systems may not have always precise location data.
- Battery drain: Location services consume battery power.
- Lack of technological penetration: Limited widespread use and availability of smartphones.
Characteristics of LBS
- Real-time Location Tracking: Continual location tracking.
- Geospatial Data Utilization: Utilizing geospatial data in mapping, spatial analysis, etc.
- Personalization: Adapting services to user preferences and history.
- Context Awareness: Adjusting based on user context (time, weather, activities).
- Multiple Technologies: Leveraging various technologies (GPS, Wi-Fi, etc.)
- Two-way Communication: Allows interaction between users and service providers.
- Privacy and Security: Strict measures to protect user privacy and data security.
- Network Connectivity: Relying on stable network connections.
- Interactive User Interfaces: Intuitive UIs supporting user interaction and engagement.
Applications of LBS
- Emergency applications and services: Delivering real-time alerts and critical information in emergencies.
- Tracking/Management applications and services: Tracking assets, fleets, and personnel, like in postal or delivery services.
- Map/Navigation applications and services: Providing real-time navigation and directions.
- Social applications and services: Enhancing communication, network-based social interaction.
