Method for managing access to virtual communication space in e.g. social networking website from cellphone, involves providing access to virtual communication space if presence of mobile terminal in geographic area is verified

摘要

The method involves associating a specific geographical area (15) with a virtual communication space (14), and transmitting an access request to the virtual communication space by a mobile terminal (12) through a communication network. The presence of the mobile terminal in the geographical area is tested, and access to the virtual communication space is provided if the presence of the mobile terminal in the geographic area is verified. The presence of the terminal is determined if a communication is established between the terminal and another communication network that covers the area. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a management server for managing access to a virtual communication space from a mobile terminal (2) a computer program product comprising a set of instructions for managing access to the virtual communication space from the mobile terminal.
