METHOD OF DISTRIBUTING GEO-LOCALISATION INFORMATION
First Claim
1. A method of distributing geo-localisation information associated with an endpoint device of an IP telephony network within said IP telephony network, the IP telephony network further comprising a LIS and a call management function,wherein the method comprises the steps of:
- establishing a virtual LAN connection between the LIS and the call management function;
broadcasting, by the LIS, said geo-localisation information associated with the endpoint device over said virtual LAN connection; and
transmitting, by means of said broadcast, said geo-localisation information associated with the endpoint device from the LIS to the call management function.

Abstract
The invention concerns a method of distributing geo-localisation information associated with an endpoint device (10) of an IP telephony network (100) within said IP telephony network (100), and a LIS (52) of the IP telephony network (100) and a computer program product to execute this method. The IP telephony network (100) further comprises a call management function (63). A virtual LAN connection between the LIS (52) and the call management function (63) is established. The LIS (52) broadcasts said geo-localisation information associated with the endpoint device (10) over said virtual LAN connection. By means of said broadcast, said geo-localisation information associated with the endpoint device (10) is transmitted from the LIS (52) to the call management function (63).

9. A LIS for distributing geo-localisation information associated with an endpoint device of an IP telephony network within said IP telephony network, the IP telephony network comprising the LIS and a call management function,
wherein the LIS comprises a control unit adapted to establish a virtual LAN connection between the LIS and the call management function, broadcast said geo-localisation information associated with the endpoint device over said virtual LAN connection, and transmit, by means of said broadcast, said geo-localisation information associated with the endpoint device to the call management function.

10. A computer program product for distributing geo-localisation information associated with an endpoint device of an IP telephony network within said IP telephony network, the IP telephony network further comprising a LIS and a call management function,
wherein the computer program product, when executed by a control unit of the LIS, performs the steps of: -
establishing a virtual LAN connection between the LIS and the call management function; broadcasting, by the LIS said geo-localisation information associated with the endpoint device over said virtual LAN connection; and transmitting, by means of said broadcast, said geo-localisation information associated with the endpoint device from the LIS to the call management function.
