  • Patent number: 6960997
    Abstract: A method for transmitting location-related data information between a main station and a mobile terminal is described, as well as a main station and a mobile terminal are described, which provide a position tracing of the mobile terminal or a navigational application on the display device of the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal may include a mobile telecommunications terminal. In a first step, a position of a mobile terminal is ascertained and transmitted to the main station. In a second step, location-related data information for the mobile terminal is formed in the main station, in dependence upon the ascertained position of the mobile terminal. In a third step, the location-related data information is transmitted from the main station to the mobile terminal. In a fourth step, the location-related data information received is brought to reproduction on a reproduction device of the mobile terminal.

  • Publication number: 20030164779
    Abstract: A method for transmitting location-related data information between a main station (1) and a mobile terminal (5), a main station (1) and a mobile terminal (5) are proposed, which make possible the position tracing of the mobile terminal (5) or a navigational application on the display device of the mobile terminal (5). As to mobile terminal (5), this may be particularly a mobile telecommunications terminal. In a first step, a position of a mobile terminal (5) is ascertained and transmitted to the main station (1). In a second step, location-related data information for the mobile terminal (5) is formed in the main station (1), in dependence upon the ascertained position of the mobile terminal (5). In a third step, the location-related data information is transmitted from the main station (1) to the mobile terminal (5). In a fourth step, the location-related data information received is brought to reproduction on a reproduction device (10) of the mobile terminal (5).
