Abstract: Method/system for determining location of a mobile device having modules that are part of a terrestrial-based location system and part of a satellite-based global positioning system. The system comprises a remote system. The mobile device activates one of the location determining modules of the mobile device, the type of activated module selected according to a location module type datum in a message received from the remote system. The mobile device establishes a connection with the remote system and the remote system receives the determined location. A type of location determining module next used by the mobile device is determined or a period of time before the module device next determines location is determined. A message is sent from the remote system to the mobile device, comprising determined type of location determining module to be next used and/or the period of time before the module device next determines its location.

Abstract: There is a method of and a system for determining a location of a mobile device having both a module that is part of a terrestrial-based location system and a module that is part of a satellite-based global positioning system. The system comprises a remote system. The mobile device is configured to activate one of the location determining modules of the mobile device, where the type of either location determining module activated is selected according to a location module type datum in a message received by the mobile device from the remote system. The mobile device establishes a connection between the mobile device and the remote system and the remote system receives the determined location. A type of location determining module to be next used by the mobile device is determined or a period of time before the module device next determines it location is determined. A message is send from the remote system to the mobile device.
