1. A method of providing a terminal with location-based actions in a communications network comprising:
- storing at least a first set of location information;
associating a terminal action with said first set of location information; and
executing the associated terminal action when a current terminal location information is within a specified range of the first set of location information;
applying to a comparison between the current terminal location information and the first set of location information a step selected from the group consisting of hysteresis, delay, proximity threshold, distance threshold, signal condition change threshold.

Abstract
A system allows users of wireless mobile terminals to set reminders, alerts, or other actions to be triggered based on location or dynamics. Such location information may include, but is not limited to, a specific location description such as latitude, longitude and a radius describing a generally circular region in which the terminal is located. The system monitors the location information until the programmed conditions are satisfied. Once the location condition is satisfied the system of the present invention triggers the programmed reminder.

12. A mobile terminal providing location-based actions for use in a communications network comprising:
-
a memory which stores at least a first set of location information; a processor which associates a terminal action with said first set of location information and executes the associated terminal action when a current terminal location information is within a specified range of the first set of location information;
whereinthe processor further applies to a comparison between the current terminal location information and the first set of location information a step selected from the group consisting of hysteresis, delay, proximity threshold, distance threshold, signal condition change threshold. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
