■ Rapidly expanding location-based services market

In the "Location Information 1.0" period from the late 1990s to the early 2000s, when location information began to be commercialized, GPS was used for car navigation, maps began to be digitized, and its use expanded to include searching for restaurants and other stores, etc. The main device used was the PC. In the "Location Information 2.0" era from 2007 to 2013, SOLOMO (Social/Local/Mobile) flourished with the spread of smartphones, and services linking social media and location information were born one after another. In the current "Location Information 3.0" era, the market for location-based services is rapidly expanding due to the sensor functions of smartphones and the improved positioning accuracy of the Quasi-Zenith Satellite System, and services that analyze data stored in the cloud and provide detailed services such as remote control and indoor positioning are emerging. Services that analyze data stored in the cloud are emerging.
