Abstract

Claims (41)

1 . A method for the output of location-specific information within a building on a mobile communication terminal of a user, the method comprising:

detecting landmarks at a location of the mobile communication terminal using a sensor, wherein the landmarks include visible markers attached to an interior of the building;

sending the detected landmarks to a server connected via data technology with the mobile communication terminal;

analyzing the detected landmarks to determine the location of the mobile communication terminal at the server;

providing location-specific information as a function of the location of the mobile communication terminal from the server to the mobile communication terminal,

wherein the location-specific information comprises acoustic information relating to a corresponding subsection at the location position of the mobile communication terminal; and displaying the location-specific information relating to the corresponding subsection in a timeline view on a display of the mobile communication terminal including.

2 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein detecting landmarks at a location of the mobile communication terminal using a sensor includes using a SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) scanner to detect the landmarks or objects in the 3D point cloud at the current location of the user.

3 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein determination of the location of the mobile communication terminal includes using a satellite-assisted position determination system, an indoor position determination system, or a mobile radio cell evaluation.

4 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein provision of the location-specific information is carried out by the server and includes accessing corresponding entries of a database.

5 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the location-specific information comprises visual information relating to a corresponding subsection at the location position of the mobile communication terminal.

6 . The method as claimed in claim 5 , further comprising displaying the location-specific information relating to the corresponding subsection in a timeline view on a display of the mobile communication terminal.

7 . The method as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the location-specific information comprises visual or acoustic information relating to a future or planned subsection at the location position of the mobile communication terminal.

8 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

detecting location-specific information as a function of the location position with a sensor device of the mobile communication terminal or with a mobile building scanning device; and

transmitting the detected location-specific information using the mobile communication terminal and/or the mobile building scanning device via suitable communication links to the server.

9 . The method as claimed in claim 8 , further comprising detecting location-specific information at defined time intervals by correspondingly configured scanning devices or by correspondingly configured mobile communication terminals and sending the information to the server.

10 . A computing device comprising:

a memory storing a set of instructions; and

a processor configured to access the set of instructions in the memory;

wherein the set of instructions, when loaded and executed causes the processor to: detect landmarks at a location of the mobile communication terminal within a building using a sensor, wherein the landmarks include visible markers attached to an interior of the building;

send the detected landmarks to a server connected via data technology with the mobile communication terminal;

analyze the detected landmarks to determine the location of the mobile communication terminal at the server; and

provide location-specific information as a function of the location of the mobile communication terminal from the server to the mobile communication terminal, wherein the location-specific information comprises acoustic information relating to a corresponding subsection at the location position of the mobile communication terminal; and displaying the location-specific information relating to the corresponding subsection in a timeline view on a display of the mobile communication terminal.

11 . The computing device of claim 10 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to:

determine a location position of the mobile communication terminal; and

provide, as a function of the location position, the location-specific information on the mobile communication terminal using a server connected via data technology with the mobile communication terminal and configured accordingly.

12 . The computing device as claimed in claim 11 , further comprising a sensor detecting location-specific information as a function of the location position or using a mobile building scanning device; and

wherein the detected location-specific information can be transmitted to the server by the mobile communication terminal or by the mobile building scanning device via suitable communication links.

13 . A method for the output of location-specific information within a building on a mobile communication terminal of a user, the method comprising:

detecting landmarks at a location of the mobile communication terminal using a sensor;

sending the detected landmarks to a server connected via data technology with the mobile communication terminal;

analyzing the detected landmarks to determine the location of the mobile communication terminal at the server; and

providing location-specific information as a function of the location of the mobile communication terminal from the server to the mobile communication terminal, wherein the location-specific information comprises acoustic information relating to a corresponding subsection at the location position of the mobile communication terminal; and

displaying the location-specific information relating to the corresponding subsection in a timeline view on a display of the mobile communication terminal.

14 . The method as claimed in claim 13 , wherein detecting landmarks at a location of the mobile communication terminal using a sensor includes using a SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) scanner to detect the landmarks or objects in the 3D point cloud at the current location of the user.

15 . The method as claimed in claim 13 , wherein determination of the location of the mobile communication terminal includes using a satellite-assisted position determination system, an indoor position determination system, or a mobile radio cell evaluation.

16 . The method as claimed in claim 13 , wherein provision of the location-specific information is carried out by the server and includes accessing corresponding entries of a database.

17 . The method as claimed in claim 13 , further comprising:

detecting location-specific information as a function of the location position with a sensor device of the mobile communication terminal or with a mobile building scanning device; and

transmitting the detected location-specific information using the mobile communication terminal or the mobile building scanning device via suitable communication links to the server.

18 . The method as claimed in claim 17 , further comprising detecting location-specific information at defined time intervals by correspondingly configured scanning devices or by correspondingly configured mobile communication terminals and sending the information to the server.
