Abstract
A system and method are provided for access controlled delivery of location information. The system includes a mobile station, a location services client, and a location server. The mobile station is capable of receiving consent to deliver location information regarding the mobile station and, if consent is granted, automatically creating an authorization. After creating the authorization, the location services client is capable of receiving the authorization. The location services client can then transmit a request for the location information, where the request includes the authorization. The location server, in turn, can verify the authorization. After the authorization has been verified, the location server can deliver the location information to the location services client if the authorization is verified.
