Triggered Location Services
First Claim
1. A method of supporting location services, comprising:
- obtaining at least one location related measurement for a terminal, each location related measurement being for distance traveled by the terminal, or velocity of the terminal, or location of the terminal relative to a moving geographical target area; and
determining whether a trigger event has occurred based on the at least one location related measurement for the terminal.

Abstract
Techniques for supporting triggered location services are described. In one design, at least one location related measurement for a terminal may be obtained and used to detect for a trigger event. For an equidistance triggered service, a trigger event may be declared if the distance traveled by the terminal exceeds a predefined distance. For a relative terminal to terminal triggered service, a trigger event may be declared if the terminal is inside or outside, or enters, or leaves a moving geographical target area defined by a reference terminal. For a velocity triggered service, a trigger event may be declared if the maximum velocity of the terminal exceeds a predefined velocity. For a time-distance-velocity combination triggered service, a trigger event may be declared based on distance traveled by the terminal, velocity of the terminal, and time since the last report. For all services, a report may be sent if a trigger event has occurred.
