Network entity, method and computer program product for dynamically changing a request for location information
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory including computer program code,the memory and the computer program code configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to at least;
cause initiation of a location reporting session for determining and reporting a current location of a mobile station based on one or more parameters having one or more associated values; and
change the value of one or more of the parameters in response to the mobile station meeting one or more conditions and during the location reporting session such that the same location reporting session continues based on the changed values of the one or more parameters, wherein at least one of the one or more conditions includes a comparison between a reported current location of the mobile station and one or more predetermined locations, and meeting the respective at least one of the one or more conditions includes the reported current location of the mobile station being proximate at least one of the one or more predetermined locations.

Abstract
A network entity includes a controller adapted to operate a location-based application for initiating a location reporting session. The location reporting session includes determining and reporting a current location of a mobile station based on one or more parameters having one or more associated values, where, when the session is a periodic location reporting session, one of the parameters may be a periodicity of reporting the current location of the mobile station. The location-based application is also adapted to change the value of one or more of the parameters during the location reporting session. The same location reporting session may therefore continue based on the changed values of the respective parameter(s).

11. A method comprising:
-
causing initiation of a location reporting session for determining and reporting a current location of a mobile station based on one or more parameters having one or more associated values; and changing the value of one or more of the parameters in response to the mobile station meeting one or more conditions and during the location reporting session such that the same location reporting session continues based on the changed values of the one or more parameters, wherein at least one of the one or more conditions includes a comparison between a reported current location of the mobile station and one or more predetermined locations, and meeting the respective at least one of the one or more conditions includes the reported current location of the mobile station being proximate at least one of the one or more predetermined locations. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein, the computer-readable storage medium and computer-readable program code portions being configured to, with a processor, cause an apparatus to at least:
-
cause initiation of a location reporting session for determining and reporting a current location of a mobile station based on one or more parameters having one or more associated values; and change the value of one or more of the parameters in response to the mobile station meeting one or more conditions and during the location reporting session such that the same location reporting session continues based on the changed values of the one or more parameters, wherein at least one of the one or more conditions includes a comparison between a reported current location of the mobile station and one or more predetermined locations, and meeting the respective at least one of the one or more conditions includes the reported current location of the mobile station being proximate at least one of the one or more predetermined locations. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
