Abstract
A method, device, and system provide location-based execution rights for applications in mobile terminals. The method, for example, includes setting a key for location-based identification of a mobile terminal where the key corresponds to an application; upon executing the application, checking the key for a condition indicating that execution rights are available; ending the application if the condition indicates execution rights are not available; and continuing execution of the application if the condition indicates execution rights are available.
