Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0144831A1] A system and method for delivering location-specific information to a mobile telephone (1) or the like. A module (2) comprising a receiver (3) and a processor (4) is attached to the mobile telephone (1), and a plurality of transmitters (5) are placed at various predetermined locations, for example works of art in an art gallery. The transmitters (5) are each adapted to transmit a unique code signal within a predetermined range therefrom. Each work of art in the art gallery is located close to a transmitter (5), and the unique coded signal from each transmitter (5) is associated in a central control system (6) with information relating to the work of art close to that transmitter (5). When the module (2) receives a coded signal from a transmitter (5), it causes the mobile telephone (1) to pass this code information to the central control system (6). The central control system (6) then transmits the information associated with the work of art back to the mobile telephone (1) as an audio or visual commentary for appreciation by a human user.
