Method and apparatus for developing location-based applications utilizing a location-based portal
First Claim
1. A system for developing location-based applications comprising:
- a mobile device;
a carrier-positioning infrastructure, communicating with the mobile device for determining the position of the mobile device;
a location-based application hosted within the system, said location-based application requiring a location function to enable said mobile device to operate said location-based application; and
a portal, communicating with said location-based application and said mobile device, said portal storing the location-based application function to be used by said location-based application to enable said mobile device to operate said mobile location-based application.

Abstract
A system for developing location-based applications comprising: a mobile device. A carrier-positioning infrastructure, communicating with the mobile device for enabling the use of location-based applications by the mobile device. A mobile location-based application provider providing location-based applications to the at least one mobile device. A mobile location-based application server. A location-based application residing at the server. The location-based application requiring location functionality for the location-based application to become functional with the mobile device. A portal, communicating with said location-based application. The portal storing location-based application functionality to be used by the location-based application stored at the location-based application server to enable the mobile device to operate the mobile location-based application.
