The mobile electronic companion
Walking and driving instructions up to the front-door... and beyond!
Have you ever been lost in town, desperately looking for your
customer’s building, and nobody at hand to tell you which way to go?
Have you ever been walking in a foreign country, without a city map or
guide, unable to ask for directions in the local language? Have you ever
been looking for a friend’s cottage, wondering why you didn’t purchase
that smart navigation system with your new car?
If this sounds familiar, there may be a solution coming, m-Companion
may help. It is an interactive service designed to help people move
within and discover public areas. It provides walking or driving
directions as well as user- and location-dependent information. All you
need is a standard mobile handset.
Don’t even know where you are? All right, you need an extra device: a
satellite positioning receiver. Connect it to your cell phone, and
m-Companion uses the satellite data to locate you. The complete solution
is comparable to a car navigation system, and substantially cheaper.
