- Location-based services (LBS) are a general class of computer program-level services used to include specific controls for location and time data as control features in computer programs. As such LBS is an information service and has a number of uses in social networking today as an entertainment service, which is accessible with mobile devices through the mobile network and which uses information on the geographical position of the mobile device. This has become more and more important with the expansion of the smartphone and tablet markets as well.[1] [2] [3] [4] LBS are used in a variety of contexts, such as health, indoor object search, [5] entertainment, [6] work, personal life, etc. [7]
LBS include services to identify a location [8] of a person or object, such as discovering the nearest banking cash machine (a.k.a. ATM) or the whereabouts of a friend or employee. LBS include parcel tracking and vehicle tracking services. LBS can include mobile commerce when taking the form of coupons or advertising directed at customers based on their current location. They include personalized weather services and even location-based games. They are an example of telecommunication convergence. This concept of location based systems is not compliant with the standardized concept of real-time locating systems (RTLS) and related local services, as noted in ISO/IEC 19762-5 [9] and ISO/IEC 24730-1.
