Abstract

In this paper we present techniques for selecting one's current location in mobile location-based systems. We present Locawe (Location-aware System Platform) and four alternative location selection techniques, which are physical selection using RFID technology, automatic selection based on GPS coordinates, selection from a mobile map with a stylus, and a textual selection technique involving a virtual keyboard and a selection list. These techniques have been tested in real mobile applications.
