Upload and download of position reference data
First Claim
1. An apparatus, comprising:
- processing circuitry;
at least one memory storing computer program instructions that, when executed by the processing circuitry, cause at least the following to be performed;
analyzing received control data indicating one or more geographical areas in which to perform at least one of collection of position reference data or transmission of collected position reference data, wherein the position reference data is configured to assist another apparatus to determine a position of the another apparatus based at least in part upon wireless signals received by the another apparatus, wherein the position reference data provides an indication of the location of at least one communication access point; and
controlling, based at least in part upon the position of the apparatus and the analysis of the received control data in relation to the one or more geographical areas, at least one of;
whether position reference data is collected by the apparatus and whether collected position reference data is transmitted by the apparatus.

Abstract
An apparatus, a method and a computer program, the apparatus comprising: collection circuitry configured to collect position reference data, wherein the collected position reference data is for assisting another apparatus to determine a position of the another apparatus based upon wireless signals received by the another apparatus; receiver circuitry configured to receive control data relating to controlling the transmission of collected position reference data by the apparatus; transmitter circuitry configured to transmit collected position reference data; and processing circuitry configured, in dependence upon the received control data, to selectively control transmission of collected position reference data by the transmitter circuitry.

8. A method, comprising:
-
analyzing, at an apparatus, received control data indicating one or more geographical areas in which to perform at least one of collection of position reference data or transmission of collected position reference data, the position reference data being configured to assist another apparatus to determine a position of the another apparatus based at least in part upon wireless signals received by the another apparatus, wherein the position reference data provides an indication of the location of at least one communication access point; and controlling, at the apparatus, based at least in part upon the position of the apparatus and the analysis of the received control data in relation to the one or more geographical areas, at least one of;
whether position reference data is collected by the apparatus and whether collected position reference data is transmitted by the apparatus. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer program instructions that, when executed by processing circuitry, cause at least the following to be performed:
-
analyzing, at an apparatus, received control data indicating one or more geographical areas in which to perform at least one of collection of position reference data or transmission of collected position reference data, the position reference data being configured to assist another apparatus to determine a position of the another apparatus based at least in part upon wireless signals received by the another apparatus, wherein the position reference data provides an indication of the location of at least one communication access point; and controlling, at the apparatus, based at least in part upon the position of the apparatus and the analysis of the received control data in relation to the one or more geographical areas, at least one of;
whether position reference data is collected by the apparatus and whether collected position reference data is transmitted by the apparatus. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16)
