Method and apparatus for providing position profiles in mobile value-added services
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving at an apparatus at least one location profile defined by a user of a mobile terminal, wherein the at least one location profile is stored in a wireless network node, and each of the at least one location profiles is associated with a respective location and is stored for subsequent selection by the user;
setting at the apparatus for the user without user intervention one of the at least one location profile as a current location profile by applying an application logic of one or more user locations, one or more time points, or a combination thereof; and
determining to invoke at least one service by the apparatus to receive location-sensitive content that is tailored to a location associated with the current location profile.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for providing position profiles in mobile value added services is disclosed. Users define, manage and use position profiles with mobile value-added services and utilize the personal position profile in context sensitive value-added services. The method includes defining at least one location profile associated with a user of a mobile terminal and storing the at least one location profile remote from the mobile terminal. A system for providing location profiles includes a mapping service provider, a node in a wireless network for providing location services to a user of a mobile terminal and an interface between the server and the mapping service provider, where the user defines at least one location profile and causes the at least one location profile to be stored at the node.
