Positional data recording
First Claim
1. A method for polling concordance of a user of a mobile radio terminal of a mobile radio network with transmission of the user positional data to a poller, comprising:
- in a case of an inquiry of a poller relating to a position of the mobile radio terminal, prior to a forwarding of polling data from the inquiry to an exchange of the mobile radio network supplementing the polling data by a specification stipulated for said poller on a basis of which it can be determined at least whether consent of the mobile radio terminal is to be obtained for forwarding the mobile radio terminal position to the poller;
in a case where the specification stipulates that consent is to be obtained, sending a request for declaring the consents by the exchange to the mobile radio terminals; and
prior to a transmission of the position of the terminal to the poller, checking on the basis of predetermined stored conditions whether the position is to be sent to the poller.

Abstract
An efficient and easily user-modified fixing of the conditions, under which the positional data of the user may be transmitted (8b) to a poller (11) is made possible by means of a method for polling the concordance of a user of a mobile radio terminal (13 in a mobile radio network, to the transmission (8b) of the positional data thereof to a poller (11), whereby in the case of a poll (1) by a poller (11) for the position (5) of the mobile radio, terminal (13), the poll data is supplemented according to a preset specification (20 or 21 or 22 or 23) for said poller (11), before a transmission (2c) of the polled data from the poll (1) to an exchange (14) in the mobile radio network (14, 16, (12), on the basis of which (20 to 23) it may at least be determined (14) whether a concordance on the part of the mobile radio terminal (13) for the transmission (8b) of the mobile radio terminal position to the poller (11) will be obtained. At least when the specification (20 to 23) determines that the concordance will be obtained (22, 23), a request (3) for explanation of the concordance is sent from the exchange (14) to the mobile radio terminal (13). For a transmission (8b) of the position of the terminal (13) to the poller (11), whether said position should be sent (8b) to said poller (11) is checked at least by means of given stored conditions (16, 18)

16. The method as claimed in claim, wherein for a plurality of mobile radio subscriber identities, in a positional data request gateway positional data is forwarded to a pollers if the poller is permitted by the mobile radio subscriber identity module or mobile radio terminal for the position according to stored conditions requested by the positional data request gateway from the memory.

20. A mobile radio network, comprising:
-
a positional data request gateway which is designed such that, following inquiries of a poller for positional data of a mobile station, the gateway transmits positional data to the poller if conditions specified for the mobile station and stored in a memory are satisfied, and access to the memory for which pollers for a particular mobile station the identity of the poller is to be replaced by a specification prior to forwarding of the inquiry of the poller to an exchange;
an exchange which is designed such a that in the case of inquiries for positions of the mobile radio terminal the mobile station is asked for consent before transmitting the positional data in accordance with the identity of the poller transmitted thereto for a mobile station; and
having a home location register with a memory in which instructions for exchanges are stored for a plurality of identities of pollers with respect to whether the consent of the mobile station is to be requested prior to transmission of the positional data to the poller, wherein instructions stored in one or more home location registers may be the same for identities of pollers for a plurality of mobile subscriber identity modules or mobile radio terminals.
