First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of configuring a mobile device, comprising:
- transmitting a mobile device configuration request for access configuration data, to an access configuration server, to configure a software application in a mobile device to access a location server, said request for access configuration data including at least one of a carrier network identification and an application identification;
receiving said access configuration data in response to said request for access configuration data;
when a current network identification matches a received network identification associated with said access configuration data, initializing said navigation hardware with said access configuration data, and when said current network identification does not match said carrier network identification, transmitting another request for access configuration data to said access configuration server; and
configuring said software application, associated with navigation hardware in said mobile device, with latest access configuration data received.

Abstract
On startup, a mobile station application will determine the current carrier network and submit a query to an application server that will return the correct location server configuration for the specified network. This information will be used on the mobile station to dynamically configure the device through the available GPS chipset API.
