Abstract
A system and method by which an estimate can be provided to a location-based service provider concerning the motion state of a user of a terminal. Motion state information may be used to trigger a particular location-based service at a more desirable moment. The motion state information may also be used to help define the format of information sent to the user'"'"'s terminal, as well as to define the content of the information that is to be sent to the user terminal. This enables an improved level of control of the distribution of location-based services, as information can be sent at a more optimal time and more relevant information can be sent to the user.
