About Consumer LBS
Location-based services (LBS) are information services that are accessible with mobile devices through the mobile network. They use geographical information to serve a mobile user. LBS are used by consumers, enterprises, as well as government organizations. They provide a medium to connect enterprises with consumers. In the Consumer segment, they are used for car navigation, traffic information, pedestrian navigation, mobile payment, mobile coupons, friend finder, date finder, family locator, check-in, indoor routing, mobile yellow pages, shopping guides, product tracking car-park guidance, weather information, and finding nearest taxi and buses. They are very beneficial to consumers and make their day-to-day life simple by providing a large number of applications at an affordable cost. They are used indoors such as hospitals, stadiums, airport, school building, stadium, auditorium, and malls. In addition, LBS are used in emergency services such as fire, accidents, and theft.
