1. A method of providing location-based services, the method comprising:
- transmitting a first location criterion from a wireless network server to a wireless device;
evaluating whether a physical location of the wireless device satisfies the first location criterion, wherein evaluating is performed in part using the wireless device; and
when the first location criteria is satisfied, transmitting an indication from the wireless device to the server that the first location criterion has been satisfied.

Abstract
A method of providing location-based services includes transmitting a first location criterion from a wireless network server to a wireless device. The method also includes evaluating whether a physical location of the wireless device satisfies the first location criterion. The process of evaluating is performed in part using the wireless device. When the first location criteria is satisfied, the method further includes transmitting an indication from the wireless device to the server that the first location criterion has been satisfied.
