`MEANS OF REDRESS:
`
`1. The loss of rights [(a)(b)] shall be deemed not to have occurred if, within a (non-extendable) period of
`TWO MONTHS of notifcation of this communication, the relevant requirement(s) has (have) been
`fulfilled and the appropriate surcharge(s) under Article 2(3b)(3c) RFees have been paid (Rule 108(3)

`decision on the matter (Rule 69(2) EPC) within the same time limit, i.e. that specified in (1). The finding
`will be set aside only if it does not actually correspond to the factual or legal situation.
`The applicant's rights with regard to fee payment or filing the written request for examination
`cannot be re-established under Article 122 EPC.
`
`If, in spite of all due care required by the circumstances having been taken, the applicant was unable to
`observe the time limit
`for
`filing the translation, he will, upon application, have his
`rights
`re-established provided that the time limits and formal requirements laid down in Article 122 EPC are
`complied with.

`
`Location information service for a cellular telecommunications
`
`network
`
`Field of the invention
`
`This invention relates to a location information service for a cellular
`
`telecommunications network, which enables individual mobile stations to receive
`
`information about their location within the network.
`
`Background
`
`A number of proposals have been made to locate the position of mobile stations
`
`within a cellular telecommunications network. Each cell of the network
`
`corresponds to a particular geographical area and the cells are provided with
`
`individual identification codes. Thus, when a mobile station communicates
`
`through a particular cell, a rough estimate of its geographical location can be
`
`obtained using the cell identity. In urban situations, the cells may have an
`
`approximate diameter of the order of 200 metres.
`
`A number of methods have been proposed to improve the locational accuracy.
`
`For example, the timing advance used in communications between the mobile
`
`station and the transmitter for the cell, can be monitored to determine whether
`
`the mobile station is relatively near to or far away from the transmitter. Also,
`
`schemes have been proposed to introduce an angular resolution around the
`
`transmitter. Other schemes involve a triangulation method using transmissions
`
`received from adjacent cells.
`
`20
`
`25
`
`A location finding service is being offered commercially by Cell Point Systems
`
`AB of Kista, Sweden and reference is directed to W0 01/ 31966. The system is
`
`marketed under the name FinderTM. Groups of subscribers can find out the
`
`location of members of the group from a mobile telephone. The user starts by
`defining a list of friends that they want to be able to locate, be seen by or
`
`30
`
`communicate with. This involves a pre—registration procedure with the vendor
`
`054
`
`Page 10 of 99
`Copy provided by USPTO from the PACR Image Database on 03/07/2003
`
`
`
`Page 10 of 99
`
`

`
`
`
`70
`
`
`of the Finder service. When a user wantsto know the location of a friend,
`
`colleague or family member, the user initiates a request through their mobile
`
`telephone or computer and selects a name or names. The Finder system then
`
`locates both the user and the friend and calculates the distance and direction to
`
`the friend. The result is communicated back to the user as a text message.
`
`A disadvantage of this system is that the user needs to pre—register with the
`
`system and only has access to the location of members of the relevant group.
`
`Summary of the invention
`
`The invention provides a location information service for mobile stations in a
`
`cellular telecommunications network that is provided independently of an
`
`aforesaid vendor. A request for location information may be sent from a mobile
`
`E:mQ"
`
`station as a short message (SMS) through the network to a location message
`
`server with an associated data store that contains location information based on
`
`15
`
`the cells of the network. Location information based on the cell occupied by at
`
`least one mobile station is derived from the data store and sent through the
`
`network from the location message server as a SMS to the mobile station that
`
`requested the information. According to the invention, the service is provided
`
`20
`
`without requiring pre—registration of the subscriber that uses the mobile station.
`
`Thus, in accordance with the present invention, there is no need to form pre-
`
`registered groups of users and each individual mobile station can make use of the
`
`location information service without having to pre-register.
`
`25
`
`30
`
`The request from the mobile station may be for information concerning its own
`
`location, in which case the retrieved data is sent to the mobile station that made
`
`the request.
`
`Alternatively, the request may be for data concerning the location of another
`
`mobile station, in which case, data is retrieved from the data store based on the
`
`cell occupied by the other mobile station, and the retrieved data is sent to the
`
`Page 11 of 99
`
`Copy provided by USPTO from the PACFI Image Database on 03/07/2003
`
`
`
`Page 11 of 99
`
`

`
`-3-
`
`mobile station that made the request. A check may be carried out to determine
`
`whether the other mobile station permits data concerning its location to be sent
`
`to others in order to provide privacy, if required.
`
`Instead of retrieving the data from the data store, the other mobile station may
`
`itself provide the data concerning its location to the mobile station that made the
`
`request.
`
`70
`
`75
`
`In another aspect, the invention provides a method of providing privacy in a
`
`location information service to mobile stations in a cellular telecommunications
`
`network. In a first mode, the invention includes sending a request for location
`
`information from a mobile station as a message through the network to a
`
`location message server, deriving location information based on the location of
`
`at least one mobile station, sending the location information to a third party
`
`application, using the third party application to develop data based on the
`
`location information, and sending the data through the network from the
`
`location message server as a message to the mobile station that requested the
`
`information. In a second mode, the invention includes inhibiting data from the
`
`third party application being sent, in response to a privacy request from said at
`
`20
`
`least one mobile station.

`
`Detailed description
`
`Figure 1 illustrates a public land mobile network PLMN1 that provides a cellular
`
`mobile telecommunication service to mobile stations in the form of mobile
`
`handsets MS1, M82. The PLMN1 may be of any of the well known types such as
`GSM, DAMPS or UMTS and in the following description, a GSM network is
`
`described by way of example. The network is shown schematically that includes
`
`base transmitter stations BTS1, BTS2 which, as illustrated provide a radio link to
`
`the handsets l\‘/[S1, MS2. PLMN 1 also includes base station controllers, mobile
`
`switching centres and a home location register as well known in the art. These
`
`features are not illustrated in the drawing and since they are very well known,
`
`will not be described further herein
