Abstract

Disclosed is a system for providing a deferred service, the system including a Secure User Plane Location (SUPL) agent for requesting the deferred service according to a requirement of a client; and a SUPL Location Platform (SLP) for checking for allowance or denial of an event report for an event when the event occurs during the deferred service according to the request. In the system, allowance or denial of a user for a deferred service is reflected during the deferred service, and as a result, it is possible to prevent the violation of a user'"'"'s privacy.

Claims

1. A system for providing a deferred service, the system comprising:

a Secure User Plane Location (SUPL) agent for requesting the deferred service according to a requirement of a client; and

a SUPL Location Platform (SLP) for checking for allowance or denial of an event report for an event when the event occurs during the deferred service according to the request.

2. The system as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a terminal for checking for the allowance or denial of a user for the event report according to a check request for the allowance or denial of the event report from the SLP, and transmitting results of the checking for the allowance or denial of the event report to the SLP.

3. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the SLP determines whether to perform the event report according to the results of the checking for the allowance or denial of the event report.

4. The system as claimed in claim 2, wherein the SLP transmits an event report confirmation request message for checking for the allowance or denial of the user for the event report to the terminal.

5. The system as claimed in claim 4, wherein the event report confirmation request message includes both session identification information on an event report confirmation request and information on an occurred event.

6. The system as claimed in claim 4, wherein the terminal transmits a report confirmation response message for the allowance or denial of the user for the event report to the SLP.

7. The system as claimed in claim 6, wherein the report confirmation response message includes both session identification information for reporting a response for an event report confirmation request and information on the allowance or denial of the user for the event report.

8. A method for providing a deferred service, the method comprising the steps of:

performing the deferred service according to a deferred service request from a client;

when an event occurs during the deferred service, receiving an indication of allowance or denial for an event report, which regards whether to report the occurred event to the client, from a user; and

performing the event report according to the indication of allowance or denial for the event report.

9. The method as claimed in claim 8, wherein the step of receiving the indication of allowance or denial for the event report comprises:

determining if the event occurs during the deferred service;

when the event occurs, transmitting an event report confirmation request message for the occurred event to a target terminal intended for reception of the deferred service;

receiving an event report confirmation response message from the terminal, the event report confirmation response message including the indication of allowance or denial for the event report; and

receiving notification whether to report the event report to the client according to the event report confirmation response message.

10. The method as claimed in claim 8, wherein the step of performing the event report comprises:

when the event report has been allowed, reporting the event to the client; and

when the event report has not been allowed, ignoring the event.

11. The method as claimed in claim 9, wherein the event report confirmation request message includes both session identification information on an event report confirmation request and information on an occurred event.

12. The method as claimed in claim 9, wherein the event report confirmation response message includes both session identification information for reporting a response for an event report confirmation request and information on the allowance or denial of the user for the event report.

13. A system for providing a deferred service, the system comprising:

a Secure User Plane Location (SUPL) agent for requesting the deferred service according to a requirement of a client;

a SUPL Location Platform (SLP) for performing the deferred service according to the deferred service request; and

a terminal for determining an occurrence of an event during the deferred service, and checking allowance or non-allowance of an event report for the event when it is determined that the event has occurred.

14. The system as claimed in claim 13, wherein the SLP computes a final position result of the terminal during the deferred service, and transfers the final computed position result to the terminal.

15. The system as claimed in claim 13, wherein the terminal computes its own final position result during the deferred service.

16. The system as claimed in claim 14, wherein, in determining the occurrence of the event, the terminal determines if the final position result of the terminal corresponds to a specific position preset in order to determine the occurrence of the event, and determines that the event has occurred if the final position result of the terminal corresponds to the preset specific position.

17. The system as claimed in claim 16, wherein, when the event report has not been allowed, the terminal transfer an SUPL EVENT to the SLP, and the SLP reports the occurred event to the SUPL agent.

18. The system as claimed in claim 17, wherein the SUPL EVENT corresponds to a message, which includes at least one of a session ID used for communication between the SLP and the terminal, the position result of the terminal, and type of the occurred event.

19. The system as claimed in claim 15, wherein, in determining the occurrence of the event, the terminal determines if the final position result of the terminal corresponds to a specific position preset in order to determine the occurrence of the event, and determines that the event has occurred if the final position result of the terminal corresponds to the preset specific position.
