Abstract
Provided is a user privacy management apparatus and method on a Secure User Plane Location (SUPL) network including a SUPL Location Platform (SLP) and a SUPL Enabled Terminal (SET) and performing privacy authorization according to location of the SET, wherein when the location of the SET is calculated, the SLP (or SUPL Positioning Center (SPC) within the SLP) checks a privacy setup according to the calculated location, thereafter queries to a SET user whether to execute the privacy setup using a SUPL INIT message or a SUPL NOTIFICATION message, and then executes the privacy setup according to queries and responses transmitted through a SUPL START message or a SUPL NOTIFICATION RESPONSE message, whereby a user privacy can be managed more stably by notifying a user of the privacy setup according to the location of the user for reconfirmation.

10. A user privacy management method in a mobile communications system comprising:
-
determining whether an agent is granted for positioning based upon setup information of a terminal when the agent requests a location of the terminal;
transmitting a session initialization message to the terminal when the positioning is granted;
performing a positioning process with the terminal in order to calculate a current location of the terminal when a session start message is received from the terminal;
determining whether information provision for the agent is granted on the current location of the terminal on the basis of the setup information of the terminal; and
selectively reporting the location of the terminal to the client according to a result of the determining. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A user privacy management method in a Secure User Plane Location (SUPL) network provided with a SUPL agent, SUPL Location Platform (SLP), and SUPL Enabled Terminal (SET), the method comprising:
-
checking whether the SUPL agent is granted for positioning based upon privacy information of the SET when the SUPL agent requests the positioning;
initiating a SUPL session with the SET by transmitting a first message to the SET when the SUPL agent is granted for positioning;
calculating a location of the SET by performing a positioning process with the SET when a session start message is received from the SET;
checking whether information provision for the client is granted on a current location of the SET on the basis of privacy information when the location of the SET is calculated;
obtaining permission of a SET user by transmitting a second message to the SET when the information provision is conditionally granted on the current location of the SET; and
reporting the calculated current location of the SET to the SUPL agent according to the permission of the SET user. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)

27. A user privacy management apparatus on a secure user plane location (SUPL) network for performing privacy authorization according to a location of a terminal, the apparatus comprising:
-
a SUPL location platform (SLP) for checking whether information provision for a client is granted for a current location of a SUPL enable terminal (SET) according to privacy information of the SET when the client requests the positioning, and selectively reporting the location of the SET to the client; and
the SET for providing a response of a user to the SLP when the SLP queries whether to grant permission for the information provision according to the checked result. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)
