Abstract
Location-based messaging in which a location-aware device receives a transmitted message and processes at least a portion of the message content using at least one criterion that is based on the device's location.
Claims20
A telecommunications device for receiving and processing messages transmitted to such telecommunications device, comprising:
- a signal receiver configured to receive a transmitted message, said transmitted message including message content;
- a device locator coupled with said receiver, said device locator configured to provide an estimated geographical position of said telecommunications device;
- a mechanism for determining a least one historical geographical location of said device, at least one future location of said device, or both;
- and
- a message content filter configured to determine whether at least a portion of said message content complies with at least one geographical position criterion.
