DCFirst Claim
1. A method associated with a provider of presence related services and a mobile station that stores in a memory first checking data and uses the first checking data to determine whether or not a defining signal received from a radio communication defining device is a distinctive defining signal, the distinctive defining signal at least partly defines a special area by its coverage, the method comprising:
- one or more servers of a provider of presence related services receiving from the mobile station via a mobile telephone network an updating signal that identifies the mobile station'"'"'s presence in the special area, the provider of presence related services being different than the mobile telephone network; and
storing in the one or more servers a parameters database having an operating parameter whose value is determined at least in part by the updating signal received from the mobile station; and
sending from the one or more servers to the mobile station second checking data different from the first checking data to modify the special area.

Abstract
Method for monitoring the presence of a mobile station in at least one special area, wherein a radio communication defining device transmits one radio distinctive defining signal that define the special area by its coverage, the mobile station processes a signal received in order to determine whether or not it is defining signal and more precisely a distinctive one that defines the special area, the mobile station sends an updating signal to a mobile telephone network, the network routes the updating signal to special operating means that adapt the value of an operating parameter. According to the invention, the special area is associated to the mobile station by transmitting to the mobile station a checking data used by the mobile station for determining whether or not the defining signal received is distinctive defining signal.
