METHOD FOR DEFERRED LOCATION REPORTING
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method in a cellular telecommunications network of deferring provision of location information of a user to a client external to the network, comprising the steps of:
- specifying accuracy of subscriber location information to the client;
defining, or receiving a definition of, at least one triggering location change event for the subscriber;
monitoring the triggering location change event for the subscriber;
detecting the triggering location change event;
determining the location of the user;
transforming location information of the user from telecommunication network coordinates to geographical coordinates; and
sending the geographical coordinates of the user location to the client.

Abstract
The invention relates to the provision of deferred location reporting wherein the reporting is triggered by a trigger location change event. Trigger location change events are either related to a user of a cellular telecommunication network entering, leaving or changing an area, or to an area, which is entered or left by a user.
