Method for using information of a station for providing information, communications terminal, master station, and station of an information provider
First Claim
1. A method for using information of a station (1) of an information provider in the form of location information, in particular location coordinates, in an application (10), in particular a navigation application, that can be used by a communications terminal (5), wherein a location information code associated with the location information is queried by the station (1) from a master station (15);
- in the case that the communications terminal (5) queries the location information from the station (1), the location information code is transmitted by the station (1) to the communications terminal (5);
together with a query of the associated location information, the received location information code and an application code associated with the application (10) that is usable by the communications terminal (5) are transmitted by the communications terminal (5) to the master station (15); and
the location information associated with the location information code is processed by the master station (15) as a function of the application code, in such a way, that it can be used by the application (10) after being transmitted to the communications terminal (5).

Abstract
Proposed are a method for using information of a station (1) of an information provider, a communications terminal (5), a master station (15), and the station (1) of the information provider, which allow a location information code to be queried from the station (1) of the information provider in a terminal-independent manner. In this context, the intention is for the information of the information provider to be usable in the form of location information in an application (10), in particular a navigation application, that can be used by the communications terminal (5). A location information code associated with the location information is queried by the station (1) from the master station (15). In the case that the communications terminal (5) queries the location information from the station (1), the location information code is transmitted by the station (1) to the communications terminal (5). Together with a query of the associated location information, the received location information code and an application code associated with the application (10) that is usable by the communications terminal (5) are transmitted by the communications terminal (5) to the master station (15). The location information associated with the location information code is processed by the master station (15) as a function of the application code, in such a way, that it can be used by the application (10) after being transmitted the communications terminal (5).
