Recently Android apps utilizing location based services are widely used. Understanding the operation of the GPS location provider, among various location providers supported in the Android platform, is an essential task for developers using the Android. This paper, based on the analysis of source codes of the GPS subsystem in the Android platform, shows clearly and orderly the operation of the GPS location provider, in key threads' perspectives as well as in a stepwise fashion from the initialization up to the final location report steps.

Location-sharing based service (LSBS) refers to a service that users share their location information with other users with whom friendship. At this time, the location information is shared through service provider, and then their position information is exposed to the service provider. The exposure of this personal position information to the service provider has raised a privacy problem, and thus privacy preserving mechanisms have been proposed to protect them. In this paper, we examine the types and features of the proposed location-sharing based services so far, and survey the research trend of privacy preserving mechanisms for them. Through the analysis on existing privacy preserving mechanisms, we present design factors for a privacy preserving mechanism for the current LSBS services, and suggest future work.

Telematics, one of the so-called New Growth Engine of IT839, is a leading IT service where wireless internet service represented by information and mobility is extended to the area of transportation. To provide telematics service, Telematics service provider have to connect with various Contents Provider or Service Provide server - for example - LBSS(Location Based Service Server), ASPS(Application Service Provider Server), TELICS(TELematics Information Center Server), GMS(Geo-mobility Server), WTPS(World Telematics Protocol Server) and MAUS(Map Air Update Server). Presently, It is nearly impossible or very difficult for the company that are manufacturing and testing telematics device to develop and test telematics solution without connecting Telematics Service Provider, Service Provider, Contents Provider. And, it is very difficult to connect in TSP, CP, SP having the product to be developed. In this paper, we proposed virtual telematics service provider. The proposed Virtual Telematics Service Provider is to provide telematics services and functionalities by integrating telematics servers into TSP gateway virtually. In other words, VTSP is performs with the role of TSP, CP, SP. And the VTSP support integration of telematics servers, interfacing and monitoring between terminal and the integrated servers.

Number Portability means that one can use his original telephone number when he change telephone service provider, region and the kind of service. It is service provider portability which retain same number when changed the service provider. It is location portability which retain same number when changed the geographic location. It is service portability which retain same number when changed the service type. Revision of INAP(Intelligent Network Application Part) is essential part to provide number portability In this paper, we present the changed part of INAP to provide number part.

This paper presents a design and implementation of Android-base Total Weather Information using XML(eXtensible Markup Language) techniques. Weather Information are changed using GPS location provider and XML parsing techniques according to the current location, This application alarms the weather information as the English voices when some alarm events appear regardless of the application access or finish. We design the user interface simple because the first impression is important in all applications.

Since in web service composition, the same service may be offered by different providers with different Quality of Services (QoS) attributes, selection criteria are needed to select which Web Services will be considered for composition. Location of provider can be one of these criteria and intends to decrease the number of remote interactions between providers as well as reducing waiting time of service consumer. Therefore in this paper, we present technique for composing web services according to their location by semantically describing customer's goals and provider's web service capability by means of carefully designed ontology and logical expression.

위치 기반 광고란 휴대폰, PDA(Personal Digital Assistant), 노트북 PC 등 위치 획득이 가능한 단말의 위치 정보를 이용하여 광고를 하는 것으로 위치 추적이 가능한 단말의 위치 정보를 활용하여 부가정보를 서비스하는 위치 기반 서비스 (LBS, Location Based Services)의 한 종류이다. 최근의 이동 통신 기술의 발달과 휴대폰, PDA 등 모바일 단말의 급속한 확산으로 인하여 LBS 는 유무선 인터넷의 응용 및 그를 이용한 부가 가치 창출에 있어 핵심적인 역할을 할 것이며, 특히 위치 기반 광고는 LBS 시장의 상당 부분을 차지할 것으로 예상되고 있다. 이러한 위치 기반 광고는 광고를 저장하고 관리하는 광고 ASP (Application Service Provider) 플랫폼에서 단말의 위치 정보를 저장 및 관리하는 LBS 플랫폼을 참조하여 위치 및 시간에 따라 광고의 대상이 되는 사용자 목록을 얻고, 해당 사용자에 대하여 단문 메시지 또는 멀티미디어 광고를 제공함으로써 이루어질 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 현재 많이 사용되고 있는 단문 메시지 서비스 (SMS, Short Message Services)를 사용하여 위치 기반 광고를 제공할 수 있는 광고 ASP 플랫폼을 설계한다. 이를 위해 광고 ASP 플랫폼이 제공하여야 하는 기능과 위치 기반 광고의 처리 흐름을 분석한다.

The selection of the optimal partners in supply chain management is one of the most critical success factors. In the past, partners for outsourcing production were selected repeatedly within a closed group of candidates due to the limited information and location of partners. But, the wide use of internet and the development of electronic commerce make it possible that the partners capable of providing the optimal services are selected regardless of their location or nationality. And the concept of partners was limited to the provider of production resources. In the supply chain management, the concept should be extended to the provider of transportation and warehouse due to the high portion of transportation cost among the total production cost Therefore, In this study, we propose an analytical approach to the selection of Production and transportation partners in supply chain management. For this purpose a mathematical model is developed, and then a heuristic algorithm based on tabu search is presented since the model belongs to the NP hard problem.

The increasing availability of personal location data pushed by the widespread use of location-sensing technologies raises concerns with respect to the safeguard of location privacy. To address such concerns location privacy-preserving techniques are being investigated. An important area of application for such techniques is represented by Location Based Services (LBS). Many privacy-preserving techniques designed for LBS are based on the idea of forwarding to the LBS provider obfuscated locations, namely position information at low spatial resolution, in place of actual users' positions. Obfuscation techniques are generally based on the use of geometric methods. In this paper, we argue that such methods can lead to the disclosure of sensitive location information and thus to privacy leaks. We thus propose a novel method which takes into account the semantic context in which users are located. The original contribution of the paper is the introduction of a comprehensive framework consisting of a semantic-aware obfuscation model, a novel algorithm for the generation of obfuscated spaces for which we report results from an experimental evaluation and reference architecture.

WiBro service provider have made an effort to provide the subscriber's location and have deployed LBS system using cell-ID method. Cell-ID method has a location error problem if repeater is used on the other cell places at the same time. We introduce and analysis LMU(Location Measurement Unit) on the repeater fer location detection of subscriber which is serviced via the repeater. In this paper we propose the method using LMU on the repeater to avoid these location errors and to provide more exact location to the subscriber. we can conclude that the location error can be more exact at the building which uses repeater. It represents in which level the subscriber is serviced at the building.
