These systems resolve position of a user by using GNSS/GPS positioning technologies, to which supplementary information on goods and services are tagged. The navigation services have become popular and can be installed on mobile phones to provide route information, location of points of interest and user’s current location. LBS has continued to face challenges which include “communication” process towards user reference. Location Based Service System conveys suitable information through a mobile device for effective decision making and reaction within a given time span. This research was geared at understanding the state of LBS technology acceptance and adoption by users in Nairobi Kenya. To do this a quantitative study was carried out through a questionnaire, to investigate mobile phone users’ response on awareness and use of LBS technology. Testing the growth of this technology in this region compared to predictions in previous studies using Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), it is evident that many users may be aware of GPS functionality in mobile phones but are certainly yet to fully embrace the technology as they rarely use it. This points to some underlying challenges towards this technology within this part of the World, thereby recommending for deliberate monitoring and evaluation of LBS technology for sustenance growth based on user satisfaction and acceptance for improved usability.展开更多

The aim of this paper is to reveal the potential of cloud-based spatial information service architecture that plays an integral role in LBS design and practice. This paper analyzes the characteristics of the spatial information of cloud services, such as data access transparency, spatial analysis parallelization, service capabilities flexible, information services standardization, service aggregation visualization, re-development flexible. This paper provides a possible solution to overcome the LBS service issues. In this paper, the short review of LBS and Cloud computing are given first and then the possibility of LBS design with cloud computing are analyzed.

To be anonymous, Casper Cloak needs to search regional sibling and parent node, which requires a complex process and huge expenditure. In addition,the anonymous area has space redundancy and it is not accurate enough to achieve high Location-Based Services (LBS) quality. To address these problems,this paper proposes an improved privacy protection method-NCC, based on the Casper Cloak. To reduce the unnecessary search, NCC introduced the concept of the first sibling node. NCC also improves the LBS quality by considering the characteristics of user mobility. Moreover, the improved method,NCC, which is incorporated with a redundancy optimization processing strategy,realizing more precise in the anonymous area and accurately guaranteeing the related degree of privacy. Adopting NCC verification experiments reflects varied advantages as bellow: (1) By reducing 80% searching time, NCC highly improved searching process. (2) The anonymous area produced in NCC not only meet users' anonymous demands, but the direction of the mobility which improves 4 times accuracy of services in comparison with Casper mode.(3) According to optimization strategy, NCC can reach minimum anonymous area index, increasing the rates of anonymous optimization in original algorithm.展开更多
