Patent number: 9575992Abstract: The invention relates to a method, a map providing device, a computer program and a computer program product for presenting a digital map via a map presenting unit of a user terminal. An object (01) and a first position (P1) of this object are obtained together with a digital map (M1) comprising a reference position (RP) and the first position (P1). A line (L1) is determined, which at one end is to be connected to the reference position and at another opposite end to the first position. Then a geographical area (A1) of the digital map including the reference position is presented. If the first position (P1) is outside of the geographical area then a part (L1A) of the line stretching through the geographical area is presented. If not no line is presented. The appearance of the line when presented is dependent on the distance between the reference position and the first position.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2009Date of Patent: February 21, 2017Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventor: Johan Bolin

Patent number: 8792910Abstract: A method and service-related nodes for providing a deferred distance notification for at least two user devices. A Location-based gateway receives a request for a deferred distance notification for user devices, and sends a request to a Location enabler for the location of the user devices. The gateway receives location data from the Location enabler, and monitors the fulfillment of user device distance-related event criteria. When a user device distance-related event criterion is fulfilled, the gateway triggers the deferred distance notification, and sends the notification of the user device distance event to an application node. The application node sends a location request after which the Application node receives the notification. Distance notification can thus be provided to a user requesting a location-deferred service, such that the location of entire groups of users can be revealed to the requesting party.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2009Date of Patent: July 29, 2014Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (Publ)Inventors: Kermit Qiu, Bjorn Andersson, Vitomir Ilic, Johan Bolin, Ake Busin

Patent number: 8320937Abstract: In a method and arrangement for providing a reliable location for a communication terminal, a first location is obtained for the terminal by means of a first access mechanism. A second location is also obtained for the terminal by means of a second access mechanism, and the obtained first and second locations are then compared. The location of the terminal is validated if the obtained first and second locations are found to be substantially equal. Thereby, a more reliable location of the terminal can be used to support communication services requiring or needing such position information, such as emergency services. The validated location of the terminal can also be used for validating the location of an end point used by the terminal in an access network with fixed end points, or for validating a used positioning mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2006Date of Patent: November 27, 2012Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (Publ)Inventor: Johan Bolin
