On Location-based Services Build on the Close Patial Position of Mobile Devices

Abstract

This article focuses on architectural models of location-based services. The paper discusses the model of spatial network proximity, within which the classical architecture of services using location information, based on the use of geo-coordinates data provided by users, is replaced by some distributed cyber-physical system. Within the network proximity model, geo-computation is replaced by the direct proximity definitions. And this very proximity measurement is based on determining the availability (visibility) of the signals of the wireless network nodes. This article discusses how to build new service models using location information.
