`
`
`
`Geographical position localising methods and modules are known for

`
`
`everywhere available and are expensive since overall loading time is
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`enormous, and loading of comprehensive world date is impossible due to
`
`
`

`
`
`
`The mobile station can load all the required information such as maps, area
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`information data etc. as local area dependent. This makes the loadable and
`
`
`
`
`
`manageable size of the data relatively very smal I. It also makes the
`
`
`
`
`
`processing, i.e. the programming on the mobile station side more easy.

`
`
`
`
`
`The map data is transmitted by the GSM/UMTS mobile network within a
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`GSM/UMTS cell and covers a predetermined range, normally the cell being
`
`
`
`at the centre. The actual contents of the map data can be limited to the type
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`is specially map data loading 15 and position of the cell. This cell centred
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`considered in case of network broadcast data loading. If, however, Location
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`then map data is to be implemented Update Procedure related data loading
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`covers an extent where the particular location area is at the centre. The
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`loadable data can be prepared at internet sites serving to GSM/UMTS
`
`

`
`
`
`Previous to the loading of data a check on the possibly already existing data
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`version can be performed, for example based on version number, date of
`

`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`data version to be loaded etc. Only the data not already available in the

`
`
`
`after switch off of the mobile station. Various loading possibilities exist, for

`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`the resolution of the map data should usually be higher than in a thinly
`
`
`

`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`

`
`
`said map displayed on said mobile station can be selected "high", whereas
`
`
`

`
`
`
`when the travelling speed is low, for example because the mobile station
`
`
`
`
`
`"low" and be selected 15 travels on foot, the scale of said map should
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`preferably the resolution should be selected high.

`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`On the basis of the result of the travelling modus a type of map data and

`
`
`
`background information can be selected automatically by the mobile

`
`
`and railway stations can be displayed on the map and for the background
`
`
`
`information
`
`railway timetables of the nearby railway stations can be
`
`
`
`

`
`
`
`
`requested from the network system or selected out of the data provided by
`
`
`
`

`
`
`
`

`
`
`
`
`
`

`
`

`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`registers the distance per given time unit, e. g. seconds, minutes or hours. If
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`the mobile station comprises a GPS module, these calculations are easy to
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`perform. If the position of the mobile station is calculated using GSM/UMTS
`
`
`
`
`
`

`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`which the base station antennas of the network systems provide
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`geographical position information as a broadcast service. In other cases, an
`
`
`
`extra information table with geographical positions of different locations
`

`
`

`
`
`
`into the local area needs to be loaded cell or present 15 within the present
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`

`the present geographical mobile station too, in order to be able to calculate
`
`
`
`

`
`
`
`
`
`position of the mobile station. Using the information calculated by the
`
`

`
`
`
`etc.
`20 a given destination,
`
`
`
`If the mobile station is operated in a vehicle, it can be used to limit the
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`speed of the vehicle according to the present traffic conditions. Many
`
`
`
`
`
`accidents are caused by excessive speed particularly in motor traffic.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`25 Although for certain motorways there might be no need for a speed limit in
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`principle, depending
`
`
`
`on present traffic and/or weather conditions
`
`such a
`
`
`
`speed limit is necessary, for example in the case of an accident, road repair,
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`mist, rain etc. On receiving the corresponding information from the network
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`system the mobile station can control the vehicle in which it is used by

`
`
`
`
`wired or wireless connection in order to adapt the speed of the vehicle to
`
`
`
`
`
`the given traffic and/or weather conditions. For example the mobile station
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`can be coupled to engine speed control of the vehicle in such a way that it
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`does not allow any faster driving than according to the information
`
`
`

`
`
`
`
`
`station at its present by the mobile 5 concerning allowed speed received
`
`
`
`
`

`
`position by the network system. For the determination of the speed of the
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`vehicle either the speedometer of the vehicle itself or the calculation
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`performed by the mobile station can be used, which ever is more accurate
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`and reliable. Mobile station can also be used as for remotely controlling
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`such as the movement 10 further functions of the vehicles and other machines,
`
`
`
`
`
`direction, in addition to speed control. With increased localising precision,
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`this would achieve a better control of the traffic and higher standards of
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`living and quality of life.
`
`
`
`
`
`15 The mobile station according to the present invention is able to give
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`directional information based on destination information and information
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`concerning its present location. The mobile station can provide the best
`
`
`
`
`
`possible route since the needed information is loaded per location and the
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`traffic information can be attached to the local area information. From the
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`station can the mobile etc., jam, reroutes 20 broadcasted information of traffic
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`filter and display only such information that is relevant for the mobile
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`station according its present location, present travel direction, present travel
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`speed, and/or given destination. This filtering of information is performed at
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`the mobile station only and thus the user of the mobile station receives only
`
`
`
`25 the relevant traffic information and is particularly not bothered with
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`irrelevant general traffic information.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`The geographical co-ordinates and location name strings are made available
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`to be sent in SMS messages and/or to the called parties during the call set-

`
`
`
`
`
`can disable this feature if wanted. Additionally Mobile End User can be
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`required to register these as network features, either to send the location
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`info or to block it. These are similar features to the existing
`
`
`
`"presentation/restriction of calling/called numbers" and handled also
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`15 similarly.
`
`
`
`
`
`Similarly if the called party SETUP-ACK contains the called party location
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`info, this could be displayed too if not restricted/blocked at the mobile end

`
`
`
`
`
`If so, the features at the network. 20 may also be handled as registered

`
`
`
`
`

`
`
`
`
`
`In the shown embodiment the map 24 corresponds essentially to the
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`network cell 5 or a part of it. Network cell 5 and further network cells 6, 7
`
`
`
`
`
`assigned to the cells 5, antennas 9 10 are forming a local area 8. The network
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`6, 7 are served by a Base Station Subsystem 10 which is part of the
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`backbone network 11 which is structured essentially as known from the
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`prior art. A second Base Station Subsystem 12 serves second network

`
`
`antennas 13 assigned to network cell 14, 15, respectively, forming a second
`
`
`
`
`
`
`

`
`
`
`
`
`When the mobile station 1 travels from the first local area 8 to the second

`procedure the mobile station 1 can inform the network antenna 13 whether
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`it has already stored map data information of cell 14 and/or second local
`
`
`
`
`
`area 16. If yes, the date and/or version number of the map data is checked.
