System and method for providing location information for communications through an access network
First Claim
1. A method for providing location information for communications comprising, at a server system comprising a processor and memory:
- receiving a communication including a message from an origination device to a destination device separate from the server system, the communication including data indicative of a geographic location, the message including an identifier;
extracting the data from the communication;
storing the identifier and location information in a database, wherein the location information relates to a geographic location and is based at least in part on the data; and
forwarding the message including the identifier to the destination device;
wherein storing the identifier and the location information in the database enables the destination device to obtain the location information using the identifier.

Abstract
A system and method for providing location information for communications through an access network in accordance with embodiments of the invention are disclosed. The system and method involve receiving a communication including a message from an origination device. The communication includes access point information and the message includes an identifier of the communication. The access point information from the communication is extracted and the access point information or geographic data based on the access point information is stored in a database. The message including the identifier is sent to a destination device of the message. The storing of the access point information or the geographic data in the database enables the destination device to obtain the access point information or the geographic data using the identifier included in the message by querying the database.
