D11.6: Survey on Mobile Identity
The deliverable in hand provides the results of an explorative survey on the
control model for identity related data in location-based services (LBS)
presented in FIDIS deliverable D11.2.
The survey was performed to explore the influence of LBS characteristics (pull
vs. push based, indirect vs. direct profile creation) on the perceived amount of
control participants have about the disclosure of their identity.
Four scenarios, each reflected a different aspect of the control model, have been
designed and tested.

The legal framework for LBS in Europe TRANSFERRING LOCATION INFORMATION |
 |
Transferring location information
After the location information has been generated, it is transferred to the backend system, where it is interpreted and / or used. The transfer of location data can be done using mobile (wireless) or wired networks. The backend system can be operated at a fixed location such as a toll collection system, a tracking system for goods etc., or in a mobile way such as a navigation system in vehicles. In some cases, the results of the processing of location data are transferred to another device. Examples for this are personal LBS such as the “buddy finder services”, where the location information after central processing by a service provider is transferred to the mobile phone of the customers of the service (see or Nassary-Zadeh 2007). In this case, three parties are involved (see below):
The mobile user (customer) using the LBS.
The mobile operator (MO) giving access to the communication network, identifying its users, and locating the users’ positions. Furthermore, the MO transfers the location to the LBS provider.
The LBS provider, providing the requested service to the mobile user.
