Cloud-Based Spatial Information Service Architecture within LBS

Abstract

Location Based Services (LBS) have become a popular technology to retrieve information about the surroundings of a mobile user which results in ubiquitous demand of spatial information service with diverse needs of different types of users. The aim of this paper is to reveal the potential of cloud-based spatial information service architecture that plays an integral role in LBS design and practice. This paper analyzes the characteristics of the spatial information of cloud services, such as data access transparency, spatial analysis parallelization, service capabilities flexible, information services standardization, service aggregation visualization, re-development flexible. This paper provides a possible solution to overcome the LBS service issues. In this paper, the short review of LBS and Cloud computing are given first and then the possibility of LBS design with cloud computing are analyzed. At last, cloud-based spatial information service architecture is proposed.

“…For the massive concurrent user condition and scalability, the cloud computation technology was introduced to the LBS platform. The cloud computational LBS platform oriented to the mobile terminals were discussed in reference [20]- [22], which effectively improved the performance under massive users condition. With combination of the reference location nodes and cloud computation, the LBS service PinPtr [23], could transform the coordinates from the relative to absolute reference frame.…”
