1. A location context-aware system comprising:
- a location identifier device;
a mobile device operable to receive a location identifier from the location identifier device, the location identifier indicative of the location of the mobile device;
a mobile application server coupled to the mobile device providing a business process application, the business process application including a user interface displayed on the mobile device, the user interface including a user input field that may be populated by a user of the user interface after the user interface is displayed on the mobile device; and
a backend enterprise server coupled to the mobile application server, the backend enterprise server including business process data;
wherein the mobile application server populates the user input field based on the location of the mobile device and the business process data.

Abstract
A location context-aware mobile system determines the location of a mobile device and updates a user interface based on the location of the device. By using the location of the mobile device to reduce the amount of information required to be entered by a user in a business process application, the system increases the feasibility of providing business process applications on mobile devices such as mobile telephones.
