Abstract

A system for analyzing the use of location-based service applications including: a mobile device. A carrier-positioning infrastructure interacts with the mobile device for enabling the use of location-based applications by the mobile device. A mobile location-based application provider communicates with the carrier-positioning infrastructure to provide a location-based application to the mobile device. A location transaction platform monitors the use of the location-based application by the mobile device. An analytics server communicates with the location transaction platform and location stamps an occurrence of use of the location-based application by the mobile device and performs a task in accordance with predetermined rules as a function of the location-based stamp.

Dependent claims

A system for analyzing a use of a location-based gaming application, in which gamers using a plurality of mobile devices, respectively, are directed to a location to search for one or more objects and win prizes for finding said one or more objects, within a network, comprising:

a location transaction platform for monitoring the use of the location-based transactions in the gaming application by the plurality of mobile devices and receiving occurrence information including a location of each of the plurality of mobile devices during the use of said location-based transactions and a time for said location-based transactions, for each respective use;
a processor for aggregating the received occurrence information for said location-based gaming application;
an input manager for receiving a request for specific analytic information for said location-based gaming application and its users;
and
an analytics generator communicating with said location transaction platform for receiving a portion of the aggregated occurrence information regarding the occurrence of the uses of said location-based transactions by the plurality of mobile devices responsive to said received request, communicating with the input manager for comparing the location of the mobile devices during use of said location-based transactions, and triggering a task based on the received portion of the aggregated occurrence information and the locations of one or more of the mobile devices.
