Abstract
Approaches for providing location information in conjunction with a web site and/or web page include, for one aspect, automatically providing location information indicating a location of a computing system in response to receiving a web page. For another aspect, location information may be embedded in a web site or web page and provided to a client computing system that may include, for example, a location-enhanced browser.

13. A computer-accessible medium storing information that, when accessed by a computing system, causes the computing system to:
-
access a first web page including embedded scripting;
execute the embedded scripting; and
automatically determine location information associated with a location of the computing system as a result of executing the scripting. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)

-
18. A method comprising:
-
providing a first web page including embedded scripting in response to an access to an associated web site by a computing system, the embedded scripting to cause the computing system to automatically determine and provide location information; and
providing a second web page in response to receiving the location information, the second web page including locale-specific content. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)

-
21. A method comprising:
-
receiving a query from a computing system for location information; and
providing the location information to the computing system, the location information being responsive to embedded scripting in a web page accessed by the computing system, the embedded scripting to cause the computing system to automatically determine location information indicated by the scripting. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23)

25. A system comprising:
-
a bus;
a processor including an execution unit coupled to the bus, the processor to execute instructions;
an antenna coupled to the bus to provide for wireless communications; and
a memory to store information that, when executed by the processor, causes the system to access a first web page including embedded scripting, automatically determine location information associated with a location of the system in response to executing the scripting, and display a second web page including locale-specific information in response to determining the location of the system. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29)

42. A system comprising:
-
a bus;
a processor including an execution unit coupled to the bus, the processor to execute instructions;
an antenna coupled to the bus to provide for wireless communications; and
a memory to store information that, when executed by the processor, causes the system to access a first web page including embedded location information, and display the embedded location information if the system is running a location-enhanced browser capable of accessing the embedded location information. - View Dependent Claims (43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48)
