Technical Overview
Location-based services refers to content specific to a particular location and location-aware services refers to content transmitted based on awareness of the user-profile. The PT utilizes a user profile containing desired products and services, location data, and spatial range identifier. The spatial range identifier describes the “area of influence” (spherical or ellipsoidal) about the user and user’s device.
The PT also broadly covers systems and methods for event reporting and video uploading from a user’s device with reference to its location and/or direction of travel such as recording an event or hazard with a mobile device and uploading it to a website for others to view, or warning a driver of hazardous weather based upon the intended direction of travel.
Locator Centric is a trade name for the joint service company formed by Locator IP, LP and User-Centric IP, LP., both Delaware limited liability partnerships.
