Methods and apparatus for identifying and authorizing location servers and location services
First Claim
1. A method for use by one or more computing devices providing an authorizing location server, the method comprising:
- obtaining a first message from a mobile device, said first message indicating a first set of location servers;
determining a second set of location servers based, at least in part, on said first set of location servers; and
transmitting a second message to said mobile device, said second message indicating said second set of location servers as being authorized for location service related access by said mobile device.

Abstract
Techniques are provided which may be implemented in various methods, apparatus, and/or articles of manufacture to allow a mobile device to obtain certain location service(s) and/or the like from one or more computing devices that have been authorized for use. For example, in certain implementations, an authorizing location server may obtain a first message from a mobile device indicating a first set of location servers, determine a second set of location servers based, at least in part, on the first set of location servers, and transmit a second message to the mobile device indicating that the second set of location servers are authorized for location service related access by the mobile device.
