Location-based service. LBS are used in a variety of contexts, such as health, indoor object search,[5] entertainment,[6] work, personal life, etc.[7] LBS include services to identify a location[8] of a person or object, such as discovering the nearest banking cash machine (a.k.a. ATM) or the whereabouts of a friend or employee. LBS include parcel tracking and vehicle tracking services. LBS can include mobile commerce when taking the form of coupons or advertising directed at customers based on their current location. They include personalized weather services and even location-based games. They are an example of telecommunication convergence. History[edit] Today the question about LBS (Location Based Services) is not, "what they are inside of," but rather, "what they are not an active part of," and the answer is, "very little". In 1990 International Teletrac Systems (later PacTel Teletrac), founded in Los Angeles CA, introduced the world's first dynamic real-time stolen vehicle recovery services.
