With the recent explosive growth of mobile devices, the demand of high quality contents in mobile network is increasing. To ensure the low delay contents sharing in mobile network, there is a need to deploy service platform which provides the intelligent services in the localized ad-hoc group. The service platform can provide a common structure to create and support the direct services at user's edge node. Mobile subscribers come together in same area, establish a temporal ad-hoc group and they connect to the same Wi-Fi access point. People who have common interest can communicate for sharing contents and information. For them, service platform can support the storing, caching, and management of contents, in order to share the high quality contents among proximity group in mobile network. The feature of proximity group services has instantly generated social relation. In this paper, we propose the architecture of service platform for providing a city tour service.
