  • Processing and display of location based messages for mobile devices
    Patent number: 9788146
    Abstract: Mechanisms for user application access to cell broadcast messaging in a mobile communication environment are described herein. By way of example, a location-based message such as a cell broadcast message can be received by an operating system of a mobile device, which can generate an instance of the message for a user application registered with the operating system. Upon determining the message to be a location-based message, message data can be converted into a fielded data object which can be utilized by user application of the mobile device. Data, commands, etc., of the CB message can then be implemented in conjunction with application processes or business logic to control device functionality, perform tasks, output data over a user interface, initiate communications, and so forth.
