Veedia 3G Location-based Services

VEEDIA 3G Location-based Services (LBS) offers various types of mobile services that help 3G users quickly find local businesses—and map their locations, including the ability to detect a 3G user's presence and exact location. VEEDIA works on all 3G enabled handsets, therefore customers can get started right away by simply placing a standard 3G video call.

VEEDIA 3G LBS employs positioning services to provide information about a user's surrounding environment, using location to filter relevant information. By simply entering a street address or postal code, on-the-go 3G users have the capability to locate facilities nearby—or in a specific area, and receive detailed business listings including dynamic maps and driving directions. The possibilities are endless: from restaurants and gas stations to banks, ATMs and more.

VEEDIA also can automatically detect the position of a user based on the location of their 3G mobile phone. VEEDIA 3G LBS offers various types of location aware services, for example, a 3G user belonging to a member service activates the service, and then has the capability to locate other members in their proximity and can also choose to be located by others using the system.

This mobile search service can be further enhanced with proximity services. In this case, when looking for a specific type of business, the user enters any term or category—for example "sushi"—and the VEEDIA delivers a list of links to the closest sushi restaurants based on the user's location.

The VEEDIA 3G LBS solution also provides content providers and businesses the option to extend the reach of their business by incorporating relevant, high-interest promotional information into customer search results, thereby helping to open new revenue streams, capture new customers and increase revenues.
