`LOCATION DEPENDENT
`
`USER MATCHING SYSTEM
`
`FIELD OF THE
`
`INVENTION
`
`The present
`
`invention relates generally to
`
`telecommunications
`
`More particularly the present
`
`invention relates to an apparatus
`
`and method for identifying
`
`mobile telecommunications
`
`users
`
`and transmitting location
`
`10
`
`based data to them based upon preferences or matching
`
`requirements specified
`
`by the users
`
`BACKGROUND
`
`Mobile telecommunications
`
`users often desire
`
`information related to their geographic location
`
`In
`
`15
`
`numerous applications
`
`such as convenience
`
`shopping
`
`and
`
`determining an optimal automobile travel
`
`route data related
`
`to the geographic location
`
`of
`
`the user
`
`is provided to the
`
`user
`
`user of
`
`the Vindigo system is an Internet-based
`For example
`findit service in which
`
`Palm personal
`
`data
`
`20
`
`assistant
`
`IpDAl having wireless connectivity to the
`
`Internet
`
`can request
`
`the location of
`
`the nearest
`
`restaurant
`
`or movie theater
`
`The database of subscribing
`
`service
`
`267963.09
`
`Page 8 of 292
`
`
`
`locations
`
`stored on
`
`computer server connected to the
`
`Internet or World Wide Web
`
`is queried when the request
`
`is
`
`received
`
`Matching information including
`
`location
`
`information regarding the requested service based on the
`
`location of
`
`the PDA
`
`is transmitted to the Palm PDA device
`
`over
`
`the wireless network connection
`
`This system has
`
`drawback
`
`however
`
`in that
`
`the user must specify
`
`the
`
`location of
`
`the requesting PDA because
`
`its location
`
`is not
`
`automatically tracked by
`
`10
`
`like the Global Positioning
`
`position determining system
`System GPS
`
`As another example
`
`the OnStar automobile
`
`navigation system uses cellular
`
`phone
`
`technology and
`
`automatic GPS tracking
`
`to send information
`
`to the automobile
`
`or
`
`to services organizations
`
`that support
`
`the automobile
`
`15
`
`In particular
`
`driving directions may be provided to
`
`stranded motorist based on his GPS-determined location and
`
`desired destination
`
`Also remote services
`
`such as
`
`contacting the nearest
`
`emergency services
`
`in the event of an
`
`airbag deployment
`
`or remotely unlocking the automobile
`
`in
`
`20
`
`the event
`
`the keys are locked within the car are also
`
`provided based on the GPS-determjned location
`
`of
`
`the
`
`automobile
`
`This system is limited however
`
`in that
`
`two
`
`NY2 267963.09
`
`02
`
`Page 9 of 292
`
`
`
`such automobiles
`
`equipped with the OnStar system can not
`
`request
`
`information
`
`related to the position of each other
`
`Other systems and methods
`
`for delivering local
`
`information to mobile travelers such as those disclosed in
`U.S Patent No 6014090 permit
`
`data profile or specific
`
`set of preferred facilities to be specified
`
`by mobile
`
`communications device user
`
`The mobile
`
`communications
`
`devices disclosed in this patent
`
`contain
`
`GPS transmitter
`
`As the users telecommunications
`
`device moves
`
`from location
`
`10
`
`to location
`
`central
`
`resource
`
`server provides
`
`data to the
`
`mobile user
`
`through
`
`the mobile
`
`communications
`
`device
`
`corresponding to the users selected
`
`preferences
`
`for
`
`ci
`
`example
`
`list of desired hotels restaurants or gas
`
`stations
`
`Like the OnStar system no picovision is made
`
`for
`
`15
`
`the simultaneous
`
`tracking
`
`and notification of
`
`plurality of
`
`mobile users based on the positions of
`
`the other users
`
`Thus
`
`it is desirable
`
`for
`
`telecommunications
`
`system to notify
`
`first mobile communications
`
`user of
`
`second mobile communications
`
`user
`
`including providing
`information related to the location of
`
`20
`
`the second mobile
`
`communications device
`
`Such user notification may be based
`
`on
`
`physical proximity to one another and/or notification
`
`preferences specified
`
`by the users Further
`
`it is often
`
`NY2 267963.09
`
`Page 10 of 292
`
`
`
`desirable to permit
`
`an availability status to other mobile
`
`communications users to further qualify the transmission of
`
`the information related to
`
`users location
`
`to other users
`
`even when physical proximity and notification preference
`
`requirements are met
`
`StThARY OF THE
`
`INVENTION
`
`According to one aspect of
`
`the present
`
`invention

`
`match and depending upon the user
`
`receiving
`
`statuses
`
`effects the transmission to the first mobile
`
`communications device of
`
`locating
`
`information for the second
`
`mobile communications device and effects the transmission to
`
`10
`
`the second mobile communications
`
`device of
`
`locating
`
`information for the first mobile communications device the
`
`locating information

`for each of
`
`the devices
`
`being based
`
`upon the information defining
`
`the locations
`
`of
`
`the first and
`
`the second mobile communications
`
`devices
`
`15
`
`In the above
`
`invention it is also desirable
`
`to provide
`
`system in which the first user profile and the second user
`
`profile each of which includes
`
`location area or volume
`
`and the match of
`
`information
`
`of
`
`the users
`
`includes

`
`diagram showing
`
`the physical
`
`locations
`
`of
`
`the first and second mobile communications
`
`devices
`
`17 and
`
`19 and some of
`
`the data associated with those
`
`20
`
`devices
`
`In particular
`
`first telecommunications
`
`device
`
`17
`
`is situated at first location
`
`100 and
`
`second
`
`telecommunications
`
`device 19
`
`is positioned at second
`
`location 200 First and second locations
`
`100 and
`
`200 are
`
`preferably determined by GPS
`
`transceivers within the mobile
`
`NY2 267963.09
`
`16
`
`Page 23 of 292
`
`
`
`communications devices
`
`The GPS data indicative
`
`of first
`
`and second
`
`locations
`
`100 and 200 may be stored within
`
`memory inside the mobile communications devices
`
`for later
`
`transmission over wireless
`
`links 18 and 20 shown
`
`in Fig
`
`to the central server 25 Alternatively the GPS data
`
`reflecting the locations
`
`of
`
`the communications
`
`devices may
`
`be transmitted continuously to the central server
`
`25 so as
`
`to accurately reflect
`
`the positions of
`
`those devices
`
`on
`
`real-time basis
`
`10
`
`Associated with each of
`
`the mobile communications
`
`devices
`
`17 and
`
`19 are data structures
`
`210 and 220
`
`respectively
`
`The data within data structures
`
`210 and
`
`220
`
`may be stored on the mobile communications devices
`
`themselves
`
`on central server 25 or on the mass storage
`
`15
`
`elements
`
`40 within mobile telecommunications
`
`system 10
`
`Regardless of
`
`the storage
`
`location each mobile
`
`communications device has
`
`data structure associated with
`
`it that contains
`
`plurality of
`
`types of data
`
`The
`
`first data associated with the mobile
`
`20
`
`communications devices are the above-mentioned GPS
`
`determined location
`
`data 211 and
`
`221 indicative
`
`of first and
`
`second
`
`locations
`
`100 and 200
`
`respectively
`
`As previously
`
`mentioned
`
`this data is preferably generated by
`
`GPS
`
`transceiver within the mobile
`
`communications
`
`devices
`
`and may
`
`NY2 267963.09
`
`17
`
`Page 24 of 292
`
`
`
`be stored in memory within those devices prior to
`
`transmission to the central server 25
`
`The second
`
`data associated with the mobile
`
`communications devices are the receive/transmit statuses 212
`
`and
`
`222 for the mobile communications devices
`
`As an
`
`example
`
`the receive
`
`status data consists of
`
`toggle bit
`
`within the wireless
`
`data stream transmitted over
`
`the
`
`wireless communications
`
`links that
`
`indicates whether
`
`the
`
`associated mobile communications device is accepting data or
`
`10
`
`requests
`
`from other mobile communications devices or the
`
`central server 25
`
`The transmit status data works similarly
`
`in that
`
`it indicates
`
`to the mobile communications
`
`device
`
`itself whether
`
`requests or data should be sent
`
`to other
`
`mobile communications devices or to the central server
`
`In
`
`15
`
`one embodiment
`
`default
`
`the receive/transmit status may simply
`to available according to the power-on or ready
`status condition of
`the mobile communications
`device
`
`In
`
`that case the data type 212 222 would allow transmitting
`the data structures

`
`The third data associated with the mobile
`
`communications devices
`
`are the profile/preference data 213
`
`and
`
`223 for the mobile communications device or the user
`
`thereof
`
`The commercial applications for the present
`
`invention are numerous
`
`and varied Consequently
`
`as
`
`provided in-more detail below the contents
`
`of
`
`the
`
`profile/preference data are likewise
`
`numerous
`
`and varied
`
`10
`
`At
`
`fundamental
`
`level
`
`however
`
`the profile/preference data
`
`contain elements
`
`that uniquely identify the particular
`
`mobile
`
`communications device with which it is associated
`
`Further
`
`the profile data may reflect
`
`the particular
`
`preferences of
`
`the mobile communication
`
`device or its user
`

`
`As with the status data this data may be entered directly
`
`into the mobile
`
`communications device using input means on
`
`the device or may be integrated
`
`as part of
`
`the device
`
`for
`
`example
`
`embedded in the device firmware
`
`The profile/preference data held by the server
`
`for
`
`20
`
`each user or mobile communications device may be generally
`
`divided into two parts First each users or mobile
`
`communications devices profile data contains
`
`data related
`
`to the characteristics of
`
`the user or the device
`
`As an
`
`example
`
`the users characteristic data may include that

`
`group at Xerox Corp
`
`Second
`
`the profile data may contain
`
`preference data for the user or device to be used by the
`in making the match
`
`In the example above
`
`central server
`
`the preference data may include other managers who also work
`
`at Xerox and who are in the same city within approximately
`
`20 miles
`
`Thus
`
`the profiles may contain
`
`both specific
`
`information- related to the users/device
`
`and
`
`the preference
`
`data for the user/device
`
`that
`
`is being sought
