    Works on all mobiles

•   Indoor and outdoor coverage (100m - 1000m)

•   Requires access/agreement with operators/aggregators
5. Spatial
    Triggers
•   Location triggers stored in
    the network

•   Triggers fired when:
    1 - entering an area,
    2 - leaving an area,
    3 - close to another mobile

•   No need to continuously
    pull the location. Wait for
    the trigger to be fired
    instead.

•   But: Limited/not supported
    by operators today.

                                  Picture: http://www.ericsson.com/solutions/positioning_methods/lbs.shtml
6. NFC

            •           Accuracy - 10 cm!

            •           Requires the user to actively
                        wave or hold the mobile
                        device close to the tag

            •           Requires pre-installed tags
                        and NFC enabled phones

7. 2D Barcodes

 • Accuracy: 10 cm -
   50 cm
 • Requires a
   camera phone, a
   barcode app, and
   the user to take a
   photo.
