Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for providing location-specific services. A mobile device may receive from a broadcasting unit, geographic data corresponding to a service region associated with the broadcasting unit, with the geographic data defining a three-dimensional geographic space. A current three-dimensional geographic position of the mobile receiving device may be determined in the mobile receiving device; and based on the current three-dimensional geographic position of the mobile receiving device, presence of the mobile receiving device in the three-dimensional geographic space may be determined. A service provided in the three-dimensional geographic space may then be performed.

A method comprising:
- receiving by a mobile receiving device, from a broadcasting unit, geographic data corresponding to a service region associated with the broadcasting unit, wherein the geographic data defines a three-dimensional geographic space;
- determining in the mobile receiving device a current three-dimensional geographic position of the mobile receiving device;
- determining by the mobile receiving device, based on the current three-dimensional geographic position of the mobile receiving device, presence of the mobile receiving device in the three-dimensional geographic space;
- and
- performing a service provided in the three-dimensional geographic space.
A mobile receiving device, comprising:
- a communications module operable to receive, from a broadcasting unit, geographic data corresponding to a service region associated with the broadcasting unit, wherein the geographic data defines a three-dimensional geographic space
- a position-determination module operable to determine a current three-dimensional geographic position of the mobile receiving device;
- a presence-determination module operable to determine, based on the current three-dimensional geographic position of the mobile receiving device, presence of the mobile receiving device in the three-dimensional geographic space;
- and
- a service module operable to perform a service provided in the three-dimensional geographic space
