This essay examines the recent proliferation of location-based services (LBS) within the context the expansion of the technologies of remote identification, monitoring, and tracking. Following the spatial turn in the social sciences, this essay aims to analyze LBS as a surveillance technology that can re-shape the spatial configuration of its users and their identity. The analytic focus of this essay is on LBS within the global information infrastructure, and it utilizes key LBS examples in the US and South Korea. First, as a way to discuss the technical possibilities of LBS for spatial coordination and surveillance, this essay investigates its technical architecture in terms of information flow. It then discusses the issue of privacy in LBS by analyzing some of its key legal and regulatory issues. The combination of the global information infrastructure with location-related technologies has enabled LBS companies to expand the scope of surveillance over the ever-increasing computer-mediated activities, prompting heated discussions over whether LBS is capturing "Every Moment in Your Life." This essay concludes with a discussion on how location technologies have provided a key platform for the rise of surveillance capitalism through the creation of what Marc $Aug{\acute{e}}$ called a "non-place," a place where the identified self is constituted by LBS.

Location Based Service (LBS) provides high-value added service to users and various works about IBS have been actively performed. The core technology or LBS is positioning of the users. In the field of positioning, outdoor positioning and indoor positioning are developed separately. We are proposing a design of an outdoor-indoor positioning system, implementing a prototype of the system, and verifying the usefulness of the system through experiments. Our experimental results shows that the average error of our system is 4.8 m in the case of out-door positioning and it is 3.3 m in the case of in-door positioning.

Location-Based Services can be defined as services that integrated a mobile network device's position with other information so as to provide added value to users. One of the most important elements in the LBS is the ability to locate objects. In this paper, the positioning techniques using radio signal were introduced, and the positioning principles and accuracies for LBS of smart phone were analyzed. As a result, the some techniques for improving user security were suggested.

In this paper, m(mobile)-commerce system based on LBS is implemented. WIPI(Wireless Internet Platform for Interoperability) that supports COD as a mobile VM(Virtual Machine) is used. These experimental results show that the system we proposed could be very efficient for CRM(Customer Relationship Management) and target management. And also, server load and connection time is improved by this system. From now on mobile commerce system based on LBS can be usable at various areas in ubiquitous environment.

Various tries are in progress to expand the usability of wireless telecommunication harminized internet technology. The most typical example among those services is LBS(Location Based Service). Nowaday, Standards for telecommunication system of LBS centers round on 3GPP(3rd Generation Partnership Project) and 3GPP2. In this paper we compare the telecommunication system of 3GPP and 3GPP2 in order to make domestic standards of telecommunication system to provide LBS. First, we investigate network models and interfaces of GSM(Global System for Mobile) and ANSI(America National Standard Institute)-41/PCS1900 - Telecommunication type of 2nd generation. Also we consider those of UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunication System) and cdma2000 - Telecommunication type of 3nd generation. Then we analysis function components for LBS of each network models details.

As Internet usage is becoming more common worldwide and smartphone become necessity in daily life, technologies and applications related to mobile Internet are developing rapidly. The results of the Internet usage patterns of consumers around the world imply that there are many potential new business opportunities for mobile Internet technologies and applications. The location-based service (LBS) is a service based on the location information of the mobile device. LBS has recently gotten much attention among many mobile applications and various LBSs are rapidly developing in numerous categories. However, even with the development of LBS related technologies and services, there is still a lack of empirical research on the intention to use LBS. The application of previous researches is limited because they focused on the effect of one particular factor and had not shown the direct relationship on the intention to use LBS. Therefore, this study presents a research model of factors that affect the intention to use and actual use of LBS whose market is expected to grow rapidly, and tested it by conducting a questionnaire survey of 330 users. The results of data analysis showed that service customization, service quality, and personal innovativeness have a positive effect on the intention to use LBS and the intention to use LBS has a positive effect on the actual use of LBS. These results implies that LBS providers can enhance the user's intention to use LBS by offering service customization through the provision of various LBSs based on users' needs, improving information service qualities such as accuracy, timeliness, sensitivity, and reliability, and encouraging personal innovativeness. However, privacy concerns in the context of LBS are not significantly affected by service customization and personal innovativeness and privacy concerns do not significantly affect the intention to use LBS. In fact, the information related to users' location collected by LBS is less sensitive when compared with the information that is used to perform financial transactions. Therefore, such outcomes on privacy concern are revealed. In addition, the advantages of using LBS are more important than the sensitivity of privacy protection to the users who use LBS than to the users who use information systems such as electronic commerce that involves financial transactions. Therefore, LBS are recommended to be treated differently from other information systems. This study is significant in the theoretical point of contribution that it proposed factors affecting the intention to use LBS in a multi-faceted perspective, proved the proposed research model empirically, brought new insights on LBS, and broadens understanding of the intention to use and actual use of LBS. Also, the empirical results of the customization of LBS affecting the user's intention to use the LBS suggest that the provision of customized LBS services based on the usage data analysis through utilizing technologies such as artificial intelligence can enhance the user's intention to use. In a practical point of view, the results of this study are expected to help LBS providers to develop a competitive strategy for responding to LBS users effectively and lead to the LBS market grows. We expect that there will be differences in using LBSs depending on some factors such as types of LBS, whether it is free of charge or not, privacy policies related to LBS, the levels of reliability related application and technology, the frequency of use, etc. Therefore, if we can make comparative studies with those factors, it will contribute to the development of the research areas of LBS. We hope this study can inspire many researchers and initiate many great researches in LBS fields.

Location Based Service(LBS) is various and widely spreading service based on the Location information. Those services are under the control of Privacy Act for Location Information to protect from misusing or overusing of personal location information. In this paper, we analyze a concept and a feature of personal location information and how to use and control the flow of location information by the Location Information Act. As the result of this paper, we expect to use the location information in various fields to develop more efficient service.

As mobile devices have rapidly spread to consumers, services with location information have been developed. The service that they provide related information by positioning automatically is referred to as 'Location-Based Service'. This paper suggests the ways that users instruct the students proper ethics in advance, after saving their moving course and offensive businesses in database, with 'Location-Based Service', by positioning their movements, especially the degree of breaking away from their course and the cases of their access to an offensive business and their stay in crime-prone areas, and comparing them to those in the database.
