Patent number: 9602967Abstract: The number of messages required in networks where both location and presence services are deployed may be reduced, by retrieving presence data from messages otherwise intended to provide only location information. Thus, information determined in a location service scheme is utilized to provide a presence service as well. A location server requests mobile subscriber (MS) information from a Core Network (CN) Node (i.e. HLR, MSC, etc.) that can be used in determining the Location of the MS. A single message aggregates retrieval of information for two services, specifically, for both location and presence.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2016Date of Patent: March 21, 2017Assignee: Telecommunication Systems, Inc.Inventors: Gordon Hines, Mario G. Tapia, Will Cousins, Patrick Carey

Patent number: 9602968Abstract: Dynamic and current information is provided regarding a wireless device's entry into or exit from a geographically defined “watched” area. An area watcher application monitors preconfigured wireless devices entry/exit into preconfigured watched areas. The watched areas may watch for any/all subscribers, or for select, preconfigured subscribers listed in an appropriate table or database. Provision of location information is triggered by a wireless subscriber's entry, exit or changing between designated ‘watched’ areas or locations. Continuous polling may be used, or the mobile device itself or network element may be triggered to push its own location upon notification of its entry into or out of watched areas from an area watcher. A third party may be notified when a wireless user enters an area surrounding their retail store, and be sent a message such as “sale inside”, or “Your rentals are overdue”, on their wireless device.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2014Date of Patent: March 21, 2017Assignee: Telecommunication Systems, Inc.Inventors: Gordon Hines, Mario G.

Publication number: 20160192127Abstract: The number of messages required in networks where location services are deployed may be reduced, by providing updated location information regarding particular subscribers, or even all subscribers, to subscribed or otherwise logged applications or services upon obtaining and providing location information for a different application or service. Consequential watch services in accordance with the principles of the present invention provide location information to one or more services OTHER than or in ADDITION to the service currently requesting location information, based on subscription to a suitable service.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 1, 2015Publication date: June 30, 2016Applicant: TELECOMMUNICATION SYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: GORDON JOHN HINES, WILL COUSINS
