  • Publication number: 20070150184
    Abstract: The invention relates to a guiding system for wireless terminals. In the system, position-specific information of route points of the route on which a first wireless terminal travels is determined and it is sent to a guiding server. Supplementary data used for guiding the route are stored in the first terminal in response to a request of the user. The supplementary data are associated with the position information, and the guiding server compiles and stores route information comprising position information and supplementary data. The route information is transmitted from the guiding server to at least one wireless terminal in response to the route request. The position of the terminal is determined and the received route information is presented in the terminal so that said supplementary data are presented when the terminal is in places with which the supplementary data are associated.

  • Patent number: 7039420
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for activating actions. The method comprises the steps of defining an action, a portable device (9) related to it and, as a condition for activating the action, at least one item of position data, and determining the position of the portable device (9). When the position of the portable device (9) corresponds to the position data defined in an action, said action is activated. In the method, the information about actions is processed in a server (2), from which a data transmission connection can be set up to the device, in which the action data is transmitted from the server (2), to be activated.

  • Patent number: 6456936
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for storing position data, in particular for use in a navigation and/or road information service system. In order to simplify considerably the storage of position data, in particular for entering position data for setting up an electronically stored address book, the invention provides that the current position is detected with the aid of a position-finding system, the current position is allocated a title, and the current position is stored with the allocated title such that the stored position can be selected with the aid of the associated title.
