  • Common location-based service adapter interface for location based services
    Patent number: 8001207
    Abstract: The present invention is a common location-based service adapter interface. The common location-based service adapter interface can include a uniform input interface through which location-based services can be requested using a uniform format which is independent of any specific formatting required by a particular service adapter configured to process the location-based services. The common location-based service adapter interface also can include a uniform output interface through which specifically formatted result sets can be formatted using the uniform format.

  • Obtaining location information using a rejection model
    Publication number: 20040064565
    Abstract: A method of requesting location-based services using a rejection model. Responsive to receiving from a pervasive device a network request for location-based processing, the received network request can be stored prior to being forwarded to a selected location-based application. A rejection response to the forwarded network request can be received subsequently and a request for required location information can be identified in the rejection response. The required location information can be identified within the stored network request and a specific network request can be formulated with the required location information. Finally, the specific network request can be forwarded to the selected location-based application. The selected location-based application, in turn, can perform the requested location-based processing using the required location information provided in the specific network response.
