Mobile Device Location Information Acquisition Framework for Development of Location Information Web Applications - Design and Architecture

Mobile device location information based services are one of the key drivers in Telecommunication market today. The current development of mobile device location based service solutions is focusing on a development of a particular services, but there is nearly no effort to build a framework that does not focus on a particular location information based service, but instead, provides developers with a set of tools that would enable them easier and faster development of new services based on mobile device location information. Within the EUREKA project MyMobileWeb, framework was implement for acquisition of location information from mobile devices. Framework architecture enables obtaining location information from various mobile devices and is not bound to any special device type or capability. Furthermore the architecture can be used not only to obtain location information, but also to obtain any other information from mobile device, such as e.g. battery
