Abstract

A method for accessing location-based information on a mobile device. In the method, a processor on the mobile device identifies a location, determines whether a location wireless network is available, determines geographical coordinates of the location in response to determining that the location wireless network is not available, calculates a URL using the geographical coordinates and calculates a default HTML, and displays one or more pages created by the default HTML that includes information of the location.

First claim

1 . A method for accessing location-based information on a mobile device, the method comprising steps:
identifying, by a processor on the mobile device, a location; determining, by the processor, whether a location wireless network is available; determining, by the processor, whether a default HTML for the location is available; determining, by the processor, geographical coordinates of the location, in response to determining that the location wireless network is not available and in response to determining that the default HTML for the location is not available; calculating, by the processor, a URL and the default HTML for the location, using the geographical coordinates; and displaying, by the processor, one or more pages for the location, the one or more pages created by the default HTML and by accessing the URL.

2 . (canceled)

3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
in response to determining that the location wireless network is available and in response to determining that the default HTML for the location is available, displaying, by the processor, the one or more pages created by the default HTML for the location, wherein an available URL of the location is used to access the location-based information.

4 . (canceled)

5 . A computer program product for accessing location-based information on a mobile device, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program code embodied therewith, the program code executable to:
identify a location; determine whether a location wireless network is available; determine whether a default HTML for the location is available; determine geographical coordinates of the location, in response to determining that the location wireless network is not available and in response to determining that the default HTML for the location is not available; calculate a URL and the default HTML for the location, using the geographical coordinates; and display one or more pages for the location, the one or more pages created by the default HTML and by accessing the URL.

6 . (canceled)

7 . The computer program product of claim 5 , further comprising the program code executable to:
in response to determining that the location wireless network is available and in response to determining that the default HTML for the location is available, display the one or more pages created by the default HTML for the location, wherein an available URL of the location is used to access the location-based information.

8 . (canceled)

9 . A computer system for accessing location-based information on a mobile device, the computer system comprising:
one or more processors, one or more computer readable tangible storage devices, and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more computer readable tangible storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors, the program instructions executable to: identify a location; determine whether a location wireless network is available; determine whether a default HTML for the location is available; determine geographical coordinates of the location, in response to determining that the location wireless network is not available and in response to determining that the default HTML for the location is not available; calculate a URL and the default HTML for the location, using the geographical coordinates; and display one or more pages for the location, the one or more pages created by the default HTML and by accessing the URL.

10 . (canceled)

11 . The computer system of claim 9 , further comprising the program instructions executable to:
in response to determining that the location wireless network is available and in response to determining that the default HTML for the location is available, display the one or more pages created by the default HTML for the location, wherein an available URL of the location is used to access the location-based information.

12 . (canceled)
