Abstract
A mobile device has a service monitor agent that monitors device location from GPS or other location data. A user interface contains privacy user controls to allow users to specify, for each of multiple applications, a location monitoring policy setting applicable specifically to that application. A policy control agent stores the settings and manages access by the respective applications to device location data from the service monitor agent on a per-application basis, based at least in part on the settings. An application interface agent can provide control over the access to the location data by the applications. The user controls and policy control agent may further manage access by specific applications to Internet data service over a WWAN modem.
