   Location Based Service (or LBS) is also called as positioning
service, which confirms the actual geographical location of mobile
phone users by the coordination of mobile terminals and mobile
network, and thus provides the users with location related information
and services. LBS is a form of service integrating mobile
communication and navigation. Such service has strong relativity to
location.

   Technically, LBS can be based on network positioning, terminal
positioning, and mix positioning.

   1. LBS that is based on network positioning technologies works out
the location of a terminal in the network by using such information as
time and angles for the arrival of terminal signals at a base station.

   2. LBS that is based on terminal positioning technologies mainly
makes use of GPS and provides relevant location information by GPS
satellite signals received by the terminal.

   3. LBS, being based on mix positioning technologies and combining
the merits of the above-mentioned two technologies, can make use of
the information of handset base station to assort with traditional GPS
satellite and make the positioning speed faster. A-GPS and GpsOne are
the typical representatives.

   Technically, LBS technologies will be led by mix positioning
technology in the future and develops towards the state-of-the-art LBS
that is characterized by high precision, high usability and high
speed.

   In 2005, the number of individual LBS users (excluding car LBS
users) in China hit 0.966 million. LBS users take less than one
percent in total number of mobile phone users. Yet, there are great
potential users of handset LBS, therefore the market of handset LBS is
big sized.

   According to the forecast, the number of individual LBS users will
rise to three million in 2007 and the market size will be valued by
RMB 750 million. This shows Chinese LBS market is still in the primary
stage of development, but the market maintains a fast growing momentum
and enjoys a bright prospect. By 2008, the number of GPS handsets with
navigation functions will be up to 20 million. In this sense, handset
LBS market will witness a broader space of development.
