Method of providing location based information to a mobile terminal within a communications network
First Claim
1. A method of providing location based information to a mobile terminal within a communications network comprising the steps of:
- interrogating a component of the communications network to determine the location of a mobile terminal within the communications network;
repeating the above process a number of times over a period of time;
generating, from the repeated determinations of the location of the mobile terminal within the communications network, a location profile for the mobile terminal;
storing the location profile;
providing location based information to the mobile terminal in response to the location of the mobile terminal determined by the stored location profile.

15. A location based information system for mobile terminals in a communications network, the system comprising:
-
a data acquisition module to determine the location of a mobile terminal within the communications network by interrogating a component of the communications network;
a profile generator to analyse and create a location profile of the mobile terminal from the acquired data; and
a location profile store to store the location profiles for a plurality of mobile terminals. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)
