Local Area Messaging for Smartphones

Abstract

This paper describes a new model for local messaging. It is mobile mashup combines passive monitoring for smart phones and cloud based messaging for mobile operational systems. Passive monitoring can determine the location of mobile subscribers (mobile phones, actually) without the active participation of the users. Mobile users do not need to mark own location on social networks (check-in).  They do not need to run on their phones the location track applications too. Cloud Messaging lets data providers (e.g., local businesses) directly deliver their information to mobile users nearby a selected point. This paper describes how to combine the monitoring and notifications.
