Method of and apparatus for access geographical location information service

1. A method of accessing for a geographical location information-based service in a server of a machine type communication based communication system, the method comprising:

(A) broadcasting or multicasting by the server a content request message, the content request message comprising information on requested content and information indicating a target geographical location;

(B) receiving by the server a response message from at least one user equipment, the response message indicating to the server that the at least one user equipment possesses the requested content and the at least one user equipment being located within the target geographical location; and

(C) acquiring by the server the requested content from the at least one user equipment;

wherein after acquiring the requested content, the method further comprises:

receiving a notification message from the selected at least one user equipment, the notification message notifying the server that the selected at least one user equipment has moved out of the target geographical location; and

repeating A, B and C.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein before acquiring the requested content, the method further comprises:

selecting at least one user equipment from the at least one user equipment based upon a predetermined rule; and

wherein acquiring and requesting content further comprises the step of:

acquiring the requested content from the selected at least one user equipment.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein acquiring the requested content comprises:

acquiring the requested content by establishing a connection with the at least one user equipment; and

wherein after C, the method further comprises:

releasing the connection with the at least one user equipment.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein before broadcasting or multicasting the content request message, the method further comprises:

receiving the content request message from a network device, the content request message comprising the information on the target geographical location and the information on the requested content; and

wherein after C, the method further comprises:

sending the acquired content to the network device.

5. A method of accessing for a geographical location information-based service in a user equipment of a machine type communication based communication system, the method comprising:

(I) receiving a content request message from a server, the content request message comprising information on requested content and information indicating a target geographical location:

(II) determining whether the user equipment is located within the target geographical location, and determining whether the user equipment possesses the requested content; and

(III) sending a response message to the server, if the user equipment is located within the target geographical location and possesses the requested content, the response message comprising information indicating that the user equipment possesses the content requested by the server;

transmitting the content requested by the server to the server;

determining that the user equipment has moved out of the target geographical location during transmission of the requested content; and

sending a notification message to the server, if the user equipment has moved out of the target geographical location before the transmission of the requested content is completed, the notification message notifying the server that the user equipment has moved out of the target geographical location.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the response message further comprises information indicating GPS coordinates of the geographical location where the user equipment is located.

7. The method according to claim 5 , wherein transmitting the content comprises:

transmitting the requested content to the server by establishing a connection with the server.

8. A first accessing apparatus for a geographical location information-based service in a server of a machine type communication based communication system, the apparatus comprising:

a server configured for broadcasting or multicasting a content request message, the content request message comprising information on requested content and information indicating a target geographical location;

a first receiving device, for receiving a response message from at least one user equipment, the response message indicating that the at least one user equipment possesses the requested content,

wherein the server is further configured to acquire the requested content from the at least one user equipment;

wherein the first receiving device is further configured for:

receiving a notification message from the selected at least one user equipment, the notification message notifying the server that the selected at least one user equipment has moved out of the target geographical location; and

wherein the first accessing apparatus further comprises:

a control device, for controlling the broadcasting or multicasting device, the receiving device and the acquiring device to repeat the foregoing processes after the receiving device receives the notification message.

9. A second accessing apparatus for a geographical location information-based service in a user equipment of a machine type communication based communication system, the apparatus comprising:

a second receiving device, for receiving a content request message from a server, the content request message comprising information on requested content and information indicating a target geographical location;

a determining device, for determining whether the user equipment is located within the target geographical location, and determining whether the user equipment possesses the requested content; and

a sending device, for sending a response message to the server, if the user equipment is located within the target geographical location and possesses the requested content, the response message comprising information indicating that the user equipment possesses the content requested by the server;

a transmitting device, for transmitting the content requested by the server to the server;

wherein the sending device is further configured for, in response to a determination by the user equipment that the user equipment has moved out of the target geographical location during transmission of the requested content, sending a notification message to the server, if the user equipment has moved out of the target geographical location before the transmission of the requested content is completed, the notification message notifying the server that the user equipment has moved out of the target geographical location.
