METHOD FOR ALERTING A MOBILE DEVICE AT A PREDETERMINED DESTINATION
A method for alerting a mobile device at a predetermined destination. The present invention concerns a method for alerting a mobile device at a predetermined destination, in particular for transport applications. A method for alerting a mobile device at a predetermined destination, said mobile device operating within a communication network, said method consisting in setting an geographic destination to an application server in said communication network, converting the geographic destination into a communication network coordinate system in association with a database, requesting regular location updates to a position determination entity of said communication network, sending a destination trigger event to said mobile device when said mobile device has reached said predetermined destination as determined by said position determination entity of said communication network.
1 . A method for alerting a mobile device at a predetermined destination, said mobile device operating within a communication network, said method comprising:
setting an geographic destination to an application server in said communication network,
converting the geographic destination into a communication network coordinate system in association with a database
requesting regular location updates to a position determination entity of said communication network,
sending a destination trigger event to said mobile device when said mobile device has reached said predetermined destination as determined by said position determination entity of said communication network.
2 . A method according to claim 1 , wherein the mobile device communicates with the application server to record an alert destination
3 . A method according to claim 1 , wherein the alert destination is set in the application server via an Internet website interface.
4 . A software program product adapted for alerting a mobile device when arriving at a predetermined destination, said software product being adapted to:
receive a destination location request from a mobile terminal
interrogate a database for the coordinate location corresponding to the destination location
triggered a regular location update from a communication network.
5 . Use of the method according to claim 1 , in an application comprising of a user of a rail transportation network setting an alert for a destination station, and said application server send the user a destination trigger event upon arrival at destination.
