A method for divulging or blocking the location information of a mobile remote receiving unit associated with a network comprising:</claim-text> i) receiving a request at the network for location information of the mobile remote receiving unit; ii) ifying the source of request; iv) verifying that the source of request is pre-authorized to access location information of the mobile remote receiving unit at the network; v) querying at the network for location information disclosure instruction for the mobile remote receiving unit; vi) using said instruction (v) to allow or block mobile remote receiving unit location information to the pre-authorized source of request. view more

A communication system for limiting access to a pre-authorized location based service provided for a mobile remote by the system, wherein the location of the mobile remote unit is continuously being tracked by the system, the system comprising: i) a network of communication resources some of which are able to communicate with the mobile remote unit; ii) at least a first communication network resource preauthorized to be able to access said location based service; iii) at least a second network communication resource able to inhibit a pre-authorized network resource according to (ii) from accessing said location based service for a time while allowing other network resources of (ii) to access said location based service. view more

A communication system for accepting or denying access to the location information of a mobile remote associated with the system, such a system comprising:</claim-text> the mobile remote unit able to communicate with the system to establish mobile e unit location information; a network of communication resources also associated with the system and some of which are pre-authorized to obtain said establish mobile remote location information from the system; the mobile remote unit able to deny the provision of said establish mobile remote unit location information to a pre-authorized communication resource selected from the network of pre-authorized communication resources during a period time when access to mobile remote unit location information has been granted to another preauthorized communication resource at the network. view more

A communication system comprising:</claim-text> a network of communication resources; a first communication resource able to establish its location information at the network; wherein at least a profile is maintained by the system, said profile ining the identity of a preauthorized resource, identity of the first communication resource and a location access field indicating whether said preauthorized resource identified in the profile should be allowed/disallowed to access the location information of the first communication resource identified in said profile; the system able to use the location access field of a first profile to deny the location information of the first communication resource to the preauthorized resource identified in said first profile while allowing another preauthorized resource identified in a second profile to access the location information of the first communication resource during the time that access is being denied to the preauthorized resource identified in said first profile. view more

A satellite paging communication system with means to locate the global position of a of a call receiver unit comprising: space satellites and terrestrial stations, some of which are adapted for the purpose of transmitting paging information and some of which, are adapted for the purpose of transmitting positioning information; ground control stations for processing the said information and controlling the actions of the paging network; the call receiver or pager having means to resolve a global position from satellites or earth based communication means; the system divulging to certain or all callers the global location of a callee in possession of the said call receiver white blocking such information from being divulged to certain or all other callers. view more
