Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method and a system for transmitting data between communication units.
- the present invention relates to a method and a system for use in wireless communication networks.
- the present invention relates to a method and a system for automatic notification of a user "A" of the entry of pre-selected user "B” into a pre-determined area (or proxim- ity to a particular location). The notification may further depend on a successful match of user specified parameters.
- the location of users "A" and "B”" is determined by reference to the position of their personal wireless communication unit, such as a mobile telephone or a pager.
- the simplest form of location determination is based on the fact that all cellular networks are built of a number of "cells", each covering an area ranging from a few hundred meters to several miles. Users of the system are constantly located by the systems universal tracking function. This means the individual users are tracked by cell. Although this method is not very accurate and precision varies with cell size, it may be sufficient for some embodiments of the system described in this document.
- More precise systems use technologies such as time difference of arrival, (TDOA), power/signal attenuation, angle of arrival (AOA), Radio Signal Mapping, GPS (Global Positioning System) or a combination to establish the position of the user.
- TDOA time difference of arrival
- AOA angle of arrival
- GPS Global Positioning System
- systems can be purchased from third-party providers and installed in existing cellular networks. The only requirement for use in this system is that they can provide a streaming real-time or near real-time feed of user location data to a database.
- Systems which automatically alert a central location of the exit of a wireless communication unit from a pre-determined area are well-known, e.g. US Patent 5,327, 144. These are typically used for vehicle theft alarms, bail absconding units and the like.
- GB Patent 2814736 describes a system which, on request of a user, presents a list of active handsets allowing the user to see which other users are available for communications, but this only refers to whether the users handset is active or not, and does not include location information.
- US Patent US 5, 144,301 describes a system for alerting school children that a school bus is moving towards a nearby bus stop, thus prompting the children to leave their residences to reach the bus stop at or before the bus arrives at the stop.
- wireless communication devices e.g. telephones or pagers
- wireless communication devices e.g. telephones or pagers
- user "A” can be automatically alerted of the proximity of another user with a matching Personal Profile.
- the particular effect of this information is to enable user "A” to know about the presence of another person with one or more matching interests, allowing user "A” to act upon this information by contacting the other user - or vice versa.
- the above-mentioned object is complied with by providing, in a first aspect, a method for transmitting data to a unit in a set of communication units, the data relating to distance between a first and a second unit in the set, the method comprising the steps of:

- the determination of the position of one or more units in the set may comprise the use of several determination methods, such as triangulation methods, GPS, AOA, TDOA, Radio Signal Mapping, power/signal attenuation or a combination. Further, the determination of a position of a unit in the set may comprise monitoring movements of a unit within a network comprising a plurality of cells.
- the determined position of one or more units in the set may further comprise information about date and time.
- the generated message may comprise text, e.g. information about the distance between user "A” and user "B", graphics, such as an image or an icon, a map or diagram with a pointer showing the location of the user, a video clip, sound, such as voice, a fragrance, light emission, and/or movements, such as vibration, or any com- bination thereof.
- closer proximity decreases the intervals between alert signals (i.e. light or sound emission), resulting in an escalation of signal frequency as users approach each other.
- the user interface can be designed in various ways, partly dependant on the available messaging technologies in a given implementation.
- a simple user interface can be implemented using text-based alerts, instructions and commands.
- complex user interactions with the system - i.e. submitting and changing Buddy Lists - may be to be carried out via other channels, for example through a web-based interface or by calling a customer service representative at a call-center.

- Figure 1 shows a preferred embodiment of the invention.
- Figure 2 describes receipt of user position reports
- Figure 3 describes the periodic database scanning
- Figure 4 describes the user profile update process.
- the present invention relates to a method and a system for transmitting data between communication units.
- the present invention relates to a method and a system for distribution of data in wireless communication networks.
- the present invention relates to a method and a sys- tem for automatic notification of a user "A" of the entry of pre-selected user "B” into a pre-determined area (or proximity to a particular location).
- the location of user "B” is determined by reference to the position of a personal mobile communication unit, e.g. telephone or pager.
- the system could be configured to alert user "A" only when five or more buddies are in the proximity.
- the application is based upon a list of users whose location and/or movements the user wishes to be notified of. This list is henceforth referred to as a "Buddy List".
- the Buddy List may be altered by the user at will, adding or deleting buddies and set- ting various preferences. This can be done in several ways; e.g. directly from the handset of the users cellular phone, using a web-based interface, or by calling an operator at a call-center.
- the Buddy List may be displayed on the display of the users handset, giving the user and at-a-glance overview of who is in the proximity.
- the Buddy List may be displayed as text, images, icons, or video clips.
- Buddies who are in the proximity may be highlighted or in other way emphasised, e.g. by being displayed at the top of the list.
- the user may have the possibility to group Buddies into different categories, i.e. "Friends”, “Relatives”, and sub-categories such as “Bowling Friends”, “Friends from work”, “Best Friends”, etc. - and rank them by proximity or popularity.
- Buddy List It may also be possible to transfer a Buddy List from one user to another, and it may be possible to transfer Buddy Lists in various ways, e.g. "All Records”, “Selected Re- cords only”, “Specific Category” or “Synchronisation”.
- Preferences can be configured on an individual Buddy basis or as overall preferences comprising all Buddies on the personal Buddy List.
- Configuration options may include an ability to specify to be alerted only when certain criteria relating to distance, loca- tion, time or date are met. It may also be possible to specify an alternative alerting method - e.g. by email, synthesized voice call to a specified number, etc. As an example, user "A" chooses not to be alerted when he is in the geographical area covering his home even though another user - "B" - enters that area.
- user "A” will not be alerted in the situation where user "B” repetitively moves in and out of a predetermined range.
- user "A” can configure the system so that he does not receive any alerts between 10 PM and 8 AM, avoiding nightly interruptions.
- user "A” configures the system so that he only receives alerts when he is not within a specific geographical area or within a predetermined distance from user "B".
- Preferences can be configured in several ways; e.g. directly from the handset of the users cellular phone, using a web-based interface, or by calling an operator at a call- center.
- a distance preference controls the sensitivity of the location alerter. This allows the user to specify that he only wants to be alerted when a buddy comes within a certain range, subject to any personal filters as described in the aforementioned paragraph.
- user "A” may choose to configure the system so that he only receives alerts when a Buddy comes within the range of 500 meters.
- All preferences can be configured on a per-buddy basis, on a per-category basis, or as overall preferences comprising all buddies on the Buddy List.
- John would like to add Jane to his Buddy List. He goes to an "Add Buddy" menu on his handset and types in Jane's cellular phone number. This prompts the system to send out an SMS message asking Jane for her acceptance - "Joe Smith has asked for permission to add you to his Buddy List - do you accept?". This request is displayed on Jane's cellular phone, prompting her for a decision. If Jane consents, her affirmative response goes to the system, which in turn updates Joe's Buddy List. If not, Joe gets a "request declined" response.
- the present invention provides a method and system suitable for two-way wireless communication devices (e.g. telephones or pagers) with the ability to alert user "A's” communication device when a user "B” enters a pre-defined area (or proximity to a particular location), according to user "A's” personally defined alert selection criteria.
- user "A” can be alerted when user “B” arrives or leaves the defined location(s) or area(s).
- the particular effect of this information is to enable user "A” to know in advance the proximity or approximate whereabouts of user "B” before possibly acting upon this information by contacting user "B".
- Real-time notification allows the user to single out other users by identity and, based upon this information, selectively (choose to) communicate with users in his area (or another designated area).
- the present invention is not constrained to any particular communication technology. Any system providing two fundamental elements is a candidate for hosting the invention. These two elements are:
- This processing element is:
- each of the three functions should be accomplished in near real time, i.e., in seconds or minutes, rather than in hours or days.
- Communication technologies compatible with implementation of this invention include most mobile wireless systems supporting data transfer, such as second- and third-generation cellular, two-way paging, and satellite systems.
- the present invention may be used in such a way that either one or both parties are automatically alerted by the system of the other parties' presence in an area.
- Each party will typically have the option to disable and re-enable their participation in the system at will, allowing the individual user of the system to pass though any area incognito.
- Joe likes to visit cafes to meet friends He wants to know where the action is - as do his friends. So they all configure the location alerter to notify them whenever one of their friends are in the vicinity - this way they can be sure of never missing a chance to meet. They can disable and re-enable their participation in the system at will - even on a per-person basis - whenever they wish to be alone or pass through an area incognito - while retaining the option to be alerted of others' presence.
- the present invention relates to a method and a system for transmitting data between communication units.
- the present invention relates to a method and a system for distribution of data in wireless communication networks.
- the present invention relates to a method and a system for automatic notification of a user "A" of the proximity of another user ("B"), when a match is found between the Personal Profiles of user "A” and "B".
- the location of user "B" is determined by reference to the position of a personal wireless communication unit, e.g. telephone or pager.
- the following description involves only two users, "A" and "B", but an arbitrary number of users may be involved in various configurations, e.g. one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-many and many-to-one.
- the system could be configured to alert user "A” when five or more users with a matching Personal Profile are in the proximity.
- Personal Profiles personal interest profiles, henceforth referred to as "Personal Profiles", submitted by users and stored in one or more central locations (databases).
- submission of data to the Personal Profile may be mandatory for use of the system.
- Categories in the Personal Profile may be divided into two logical parts; a passive and an active part.
- the passive part involves users specifying own interests and bio- graphical information - information that will be available for other users' interest matching and instant requests.
- a doctor specifies his profession, he is allowing others to seek him out according to that information. If his qualifications or facilities include a pilot's license and his facilities a clinic or an aeroplane, these criteria can similarly be included as searchable data for other users. The user who lists areas of competence consents to being sought on that basis.
- the active part involves users specifying what they are looking for in other users, as described in detail below.
- This information is categorised in a pre-determined hierarchical information structure with set categories - categories may be created by users and/or system operators. Users can submit information e.g. through a web-based interface, directly from the handset of their wireless communication unit, or by calling a call-center. As an example, a fan of the Chicago Bulls would select his Interest in the "Chicago Bulls" category, and the path to this category could for example be "Sports - Basketball - NBA league - Chicago Bulls".
- Interests and search requests can be specified with varying granularity - the user in the above-men- tioned example could choose to specify his interest on the most general level, by selecting "Sports", on a more detailed level, by selecting "Sports - Basketball", on an even more detailed level, by selecting "Sports - Basketball - NBA league”. There is no limit to the granularity of the categorisation system.
- the above-mentioned example could also comprise the individual players of Chi- cago Bulls, so that a user would be able to specify his interest in a specific player, e.g. Michael Jordan.
- Free-text entries are typically used when no appropriate category exists to classify an interest. This can also be used by clubs, co - munities or closed circles, where a keyword is selected so that a user - "A" - will be automatically alerted when another user - "B" - triggers the exchange by reason of their common interest and proximity. A possible consequence of free-text searches with no matching interest group is that these searches may over time accumulate and generate new interest groups.
- Personal profiles can be submitted in several different ways; e.g. directly from the handset of the users cellular phone, using a web-based interface, or by calling an operator at a call-center. It may also be possible for non-users to search the database.
- Example hierarchical structure "Entertainment - Games - Backgammon” Classifieds.
- the objective is to establish contact between buyers and sellers of goods and services.
- a user can specify that he is interested in selling a "red bicycle, mint condition, price level USD 100-200".
- Matchmaking users can submit personal information about themselves and their partner preferences - this enables users to be alerted to the proxim- ity of potential partners who match the criteria specified.
- Example hierarchical structure "Matchmaking - Women - Latin American - Age 20 - 25"
- the user can combine selection criteria from one or more categories to form his Personal Profile.
- a user may specify that he is interested in being alerted when another user who matches certain criteria from both the "Personal Interest" and "Matchmaking” category is in the proximity - i.e. a Latin American woman, between the ages of 20 and 25, who is interested in "Backgammon” and "Travelling".
- Dynamic interests can be divided into three categories; instant, dynamic and static. Static interests have two characteristics - they have no set expiry date and are users rarely change them. Examples include long-term interests, hobbies and personal values. Dynamic interests are needs and interests of a temporary nature, typically expiring within minutes, hours or days. The expiry time can be set by the user during submission of interest data. Dynamic interests are by nature situational and differ from static interests in their expiry time. Examples of dynamic interests include:
- Instant requests are used to satisfy sudden needs. As an example, a car breaks down in the middle of nowhere. Rather than wait for am unspecified time, our stranded driver chooses an instant proximity search for mechanics with pick-up trucks. This instant request is matched with those stored user profiles that include profession - if a match is found, an alert is sent. Search results may be listed by phone numbers and proximity in descending order.
- the present invention may also include a ratings system.
- the system empowers users to rate other people by personal and professional qualities. Ratings are typically submitted on the basis of first-hand experience - e.g. following a rendezvous facilitated through interest matching.
- Jack has just had an encounter with a person he met through Interest Matching. He now wishes to rate the person in one or more categories. He grabs his wireless telephone. The alert that originally led to the encounter is still stored, so now he simply chooses the "Ratings" menu, and keys in his ratings for that individual - giving marks on a scale from 0 - 10 in categories such as "Fun”, “Intelligence”, “Friendliness” and "Honesty "in the personal ratings.
- professional may berated in categories such as “Value for money”, “Service level”, “Efficiency” and “Competence”.
- users may also have the option to do a manual request for nearby users with one or more particular interests.
- Configuration options may include an ability to specify to be alerted only when certain criteria relating to distance, location, time or date are met. These preferences may be configured on three different levels:
- Per-category preferences comprise all records in a given category (e.g. "Football”)
- Per-record preferences apply only to one record in the Personal Profile - e.g. "Michael Jordan” in the "Sports - Basketball - NBA league - Chicago Bulls” category.
- a user "A” may choose to be alerted to matches in the "Football” category when user "A” is in a specific city - e.g. "Manchester United” - and the user "B” is within the range of 500 meters.
- user "A” may choose to be alerted to matches in the "Classifieds - Transportation - Bikes - New Bikes - Men's bikes" and the month is "January".
- user "A" may choose to be alerted to all matches only when other users comes within the range of 250 meters.
- the present invention provides a method and system suitable for two-way wireless communication devices (e.g. telephones or pagers) with the ability to alert user "A's" communication device when a user "B" enters the proximity of user "A".
- two-way wireless communication devices e.g. telephones or pagers
- an alert is transmitted to user "A", user "B", or both, depending on their respective preferences.
- the particular effect of this information is to enable user "A” to be notified of the presence of others users with matching Personal Profiles.
- This is achieved through matching current unit position data (including time tags) with predefined alerting profiles, which may include matching criteria based on unit locations or proximity, time and date, user interests, as well as alerting permissions. Determination of a match results in the generation and delivery of a message to the alerted user via his or her specified medium - i.e. an SMS message or a synthesized voice call.
- the Personal Profile is continuously compared with the Personal Profiles of other nearby users - when a match is found an alert is sent to the user(s); each can then choose to contact the other party, e.g. by sending an SMS text message or by call- ing the other party directly.
- This real-time notification allows the user to single out other users in his area by shared interest and, based upon this information, selectively (choose to) communicate with these users now or later.
- the present invention is not constrained to any particular communication technology. Any system providing two fundamental elements is a candidate for hosting the invention. These two elements are:
- This processing element is:
- each of the three functions should be accomplished in near real time, i.e., in seconds or minutes, rather than in hours or days.
- Communication technologies compatible with implementation of this invention include most mobile wireless systems supporting data transfer, such as second- and third-generation cellular, two-way paging, and satellite systems.
- the present invention may be used in such a way that either one or both parties are automatically alerted by the system of the other parties' presence in an area.
- Each party will typically have the option to disable and re-enable participation in the system at will, allowing a user of the system to pass though an area incognito. Examples
- Dave is a person with a lot of interests, but he finds that it is hard to get in touch with others who share his interests. To solve this problem he keys in his interests in the interest database. He himself chooses how detailed he wants his profile to be. Dave is very interested in football, and he's a fan of the Manchester United football team. So he goes to the "Sports" category, and selects "Football”. He then goes further down the hierarchy, through "Football teams - United Kingdom", and selects "Manchester United”. He then clicks a "Preferences” and selects e.g. a "No alerts during night time” option - even though he's a great fan of Manchester United, he does not want to be woken up by his wireless phone when a fellow Manchester United fan walks past his house at 3 AM ...
- FIG. 1 illustrates an example of the operation of the invention attached to a terrestrial wireless (e.g., cellular) network.
- both User A and User B represent "sub- scribers" to the system.
- each has previously provided profile information to the system, now stored in the system database.
- User A's profile includes a desire to be alerted when User B is in his vicinity;
- User B's profile includes a permission to notify User A of his whereabouts.
- a and B may be co-workers who will share a taxi if they arrive at the terminal at the same time.
- the same wireless network is used to deliver the alert messages as to provide the positions, but this is not necessary to the invention.
- the system Upon receipt of the mes- sage by User "A”, notifying him of User B's proximity, the system has accomplished its primary function.
- Also indicated in the figure is an out-of-band access to the database that may be used for user profile updates, collection of logging/billing information, etc.
- Profiles data store This database contains user and unit identification and user preferences. This data determines what notifications will be made available to the user. The database also includes permission information that determines whether other users may be notified of the user's activity. This database is relatively static, but may be dynamically updated to reflect changes user preferences. For example, one simplified user entry might contain the information shown in Table 1 .
- user JohnS has two profiles, each associated with a different communication unit and a different time of day. The first will alert him of any user with specified interests in a nearby area; the second will alert him of a specific user reaching a particular map point.
- JohnS has set permissions that allow his position information to be provided to certain other users selected by him.
- Position data store This database contains status information on active units, including their latest reported position. It may also include an indicator to show that the position information has changed, and a list of currently-alerted users. Position data is dynamically updated; an example is shown in Table 2.
- This record shows that user JohnS (using his email device) was last reported at a particular position, and that user JulieS has been previously alerted. (This will prevent multiple alerts from being generated on a single entry to an area.)
- the re- cord also shows that the position information has changed since the last database scan. (The database scanning process is described below).
- Log data store This database contains historical information on profile and alert- ing activity, and can be accessed by operations support for system management and billing.
- the data processing associated with the present invention may be described by three representative processing flows - see the description below. In these flows, the data stores described above are assumed.
- One process flow, illustrated in Figure 3 is triggered by the receipt of a position report message from the wireless system, and - if certain criteria are met - results in an update to the Position data store.
- the Profile database is first checked to see if the unit is associated with a user of the system. If not, the position report is not used. If the report does represent a valid user, the user's record is updated (if already present) or inserted (if not yet present) in the Position data store.
- the new data record reflects the reported unit position, the time of the report (or measurement), and an indication of changed data.
- the user position record update time may be made current even if the position has not changed, as some alerting criteria are time-of-day based.
- a second process, illustrated in Figure 3 may be executed periodically (e.g., once per minute). This process accomplishes the fundamental objective of the system: to recognise position-based alerting situations, and send appropriate messages to the users. An initial scan identifies potential alerting conditions due to new user position reports. Any alerting conditions that have already generated an alert message are ignored. Finally, position-based calculations identify any new alerts to be issued.
- Each changed position record is associated with a user.
- the Profile database is examined for any potential alerting situations.
- This initial scan takes into account interests, permissions, and alerting times, and in fact any information available in the Profiles database. It does not take into account position calculations. For example User "A” might permit "Any” to be alerted of his whereabouts; User Y might be interested in any nearby basketball fans; either of these could constitute a potential alerting situation.
- the output of this initial scan is a number of user groups, where each group contains two or more users, at least one of whom has a recent position update, and whose profiles - under certain geometric conditions - may cause an alert to be generated.
- Any groups representing potential alerting conditions that have already had actual alerts generated may be ignored. This can be determined from the alerted users field in the Position database.
- any position-related calculations are performed. Examples include calculating the distance between two units, and determining if a position resides within a predetermined range or area. Any cases that meet the geometric as well as the profile criteria result in a message generated and sent to the appropriate user(s) - to an address and in a form consistent with their profiles.
- an alert message will cause an entry to be made in the alerted us- ers field of the position data record. Any alert messages may be logged for historical or billing purposes. Before completing the scan process, all change indicators are cleared so that a position record will not be revisited until it has been updated. A secondary process, not illustrated, will periodically examine the entire Position database and clean up any stale data.
- a user profile request may consist of a new user profile, an update to an existing profile, or a request for existing profile information. It may arrive in batch or interactive form.
- the request is checked for validity, e.g., meeting security criteria. Assuming a valid request, the Profile database is updated or queried, depending on the request type, and a response message is generated to the requesting entity.
