摘要
Key aspects in realizing the maximum potential of advanced Location-Based Services (LBS) are the standardization and cross-platform availability of an Application Programming Interface (API) for mobile phones that allows access to real-time location information. To shorten the development time of advanced LBS, such an API should also provide essential features such as map user interfaces, geo-coding, and navigation to be used as building blocks in the context of larger mobile applications. Using these available services, application developers can focus on building innovative location-aware applications rather than re-creating existing services. This article's main goals are to emphasize the importance of such an API and to describe the Location API for Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME). This description includes the main features of the current "JSR179-Location API v1.0" as well as the significant enhancements and new services included in the development of "JSR293-Location API v2.0." These new features, illustrated using coding examples, will help software developers create next-generation location-aware J2ME applications. Published by Elsevier B.V.
