Abstract

The format of the Presence Information Data Format-Location Object (PIDF-LO) as defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is extended or modified to accommodate, within the standard PIDF-LO format, an association of geospacial location to virtual content on the Internet. A filename of virtual content is associated with geospatial location information (either a specific location, zone, or direction). The filename is inserted into a <presence . . . > section of a Presence Information Data Format-Location Object (PIDF-LO) compliant document as defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). In this way, geospacial location information is associated with Internet based virtual content using a standard PIDF-LO format.

Claims (58)

1. A method of associating a geospatial location to Internet content, comprising:

recording, at a physical network server, a geospatial location associated with Internet-based XML content via an XML content identifier using Session Initiation Protocol (SIP); and

extending, at said physical network server, a Presence Information Data Format-Location Object (PIDF-LO) document to include said geospatial location associated with said Internet-based XML content via said XML content identifier.

2. The method of associating a geospatial location to Internet content according to claim 1 , further comprising:

inserting a filename of said XML content identifier in an “entity=” list in a <presence . . . >section of said PIDF-LO document.

3. The method of associating a geospatial location to Internet content according to claim 2 , further comprising:

inserting a filename of said XML content identifier in a “src=” list in a <presence . . . >section of said PIDF-LO document.

4. The method of associating a geospatial location to Internet content according to claim 1 , further comprising:

inserting a filename of said XML content identifier in a “src=” list in a <presence . . . >section of said PIDF-LO document.

5. The method of associating a geospatial location to Internet content according to claim 1 , further comprising:

inserting said filename of said XML content identifier in a “name=” list in said <presence . . . >section of said PIDF-LO compliant data.

6. The method of associating a geospatial location to Internet content according to claim 1 , wherein:

said geospatial location identifies a specific geographic zone.

7. The method of associating a geospatial location to Internet content according to claim 6 , wherein:

said specific geographic zone is defined using a coordinate based polygon system.

8. The method of associating a geospatial location to Internet content according to claim 7 , wherein:

said coordinate based polygon system is defined using an assigned numbering system.

9. The method of associating a geospatial location to Internet content according to claim 1 , wherein:

said geospatial location identifies a specific latitude/longitude.

10. The method of associating a geospatial location to Internet content according to claim 1 , wherein:

said geospatial location is defined directionally.

11. The method of associating a geospatial location to Internet content according to claim 1 , wherein:

said XML content comprises text.

12. The method of associating a geospatial location to Internet content according to claim 1 , wherein:

said XML content comprises at least one image.

13. The method of associating a geospatial location to Internet content according to claim 1 , wherein:

said XML content comprises audio.

14. The method of associating a geospatial location to Internet content according to claim 1 , wherein:

said XML content comprises video.

15. The method of associating a geospatial location to Internet content according to claim 1 , wherein:

said XML content is Multimedia Internet Message Extensions (MIME) type content.

16. The method of associating a geospatial location to Internet content according to claim 1 , further comprising:

tagging descriptive information relating to said XML content identifier in a <presence . . . >section of said PIDF-LO document.

17. The method of associating a geospatial location to Internet content according to claim 16 , wherein:

said tagged descriptive information is included in a <presence . . . >section of said PIDF-LO document.

18. The method of associating a geospatial location to Internet content according to claim 16 , wherein:

said tagged descriptive information includes a “virtual=” tag.

19. A method of associating a geospatial location to Internet content, comprising:

recording, at a physical network server, a geospatial location associated with Internet-based XML content via an XML content identifier using Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP); and

extending, at said physical network server, a Presence Information Data Format-Location Object (PIDF-LO) document to include said geospatial location associated with said Internet-based XML content via said XML content identifier.

20. The method of associating a geospatial location to Internet content according to claim 19 , further comprising:

inserting a filename of said XML content identifier in an “entity=” list in a <presence . . . >section of said PIDF-LO document.

21. The method of associating a geospatial location to Internet content according to claim 20 , further comprising:

inserting a filename of said XML content identifier in a “src=” list in a <presence . . . >section of said PIDF-LO document.

22. The method of associating a geospatial location to Internet content according to claim 19 , further comprising:

inserting a filename of said XML content identifier in a “src=” list in a <presence . . . >section of said PIDF-LO document.

23. The method of associating a geospatial location to Internet content according to claim 19 , further comprising:

inserting said filename of said XML content identifier in a “name=” list in said <presence . . . >section of said PIDF-LO compliant data.

24. The method of associating a geospatial location to Internet content according to claim 19 , wherein:

said geospatial location identifies a specific geographic zone.

25. The method of associating a geospatial location to Internet content according to claim 24 , wherein:

said specific geographic zone is defined using a coordinate based polygon system.

26. The method of associating a geospatial location to Internet content according to claim 25 , wherein:

said coordinate based polygon system is defined using an assigned numbering system.

27. The method of associating a geospatial location to Internet content according to claim 19 , wherein:

said geospatial location identifies a specific latitude/longitude.

28. The method of associating a geospatial location to Internet content according to claim 19 , wherein:

said geospatial location is defined directionally.
