DETERMINING LOCATION INFORMATION
First Claim
1. A method of determining location information for an electronic device, the method comprising:
- receiving initial location information associated with the electronic device;
determining proximate access point identifiers which identify a number of access points corresponding to the initial location information;
forwarding the proximate access point identifiers;
receiving proximate access point location information associated with at least some of the proximate access point identifiers;
determining final location information using the proximate access point location information; and
forwarding the final location information.

Abstract
A method (300) of determining location information for an electronic device (100), the method (300) comprising receiving initial location information associated with the electronic device (305), determining proximate access point identifiers which identify a number of access points (225) corresponding to the initial location information (310), forwarding the proximate access point identifiers (315), receiving proximate access point location information associated with at least some of the proximate access point identifiers (320), determining final location information using the proximate access point location information (325), forwarding the final location information (330).
