`
`1'he present invention is directed to a system and nlethod for
`pmviding real-time position information of one party to
`another party by utilizing a conventional telecommunication
`network system such as the convention telephone network,
`a mobrlc tcleconunumcauons network, a computer network.
`or the Intcmct. More spccilically, thc prcfcrrcd mnbodtmcnts

`2. Description of the Related Art
`Navigational systems, defined as systems that provide a
`unit's local position and a way ol'plamung a course around
`thc unit's local posiUon, somcumcs lo a remote position,
`such as in-vclucle nuvtgauous systems do, are v,ell know in
`the art. Typically, an in-vehicle navigation system consists of
`a display screen. processing unit, stonge unit, and user input
`mechanism. Tire stonge system typically contains.

`l)etermining a local position in a navigation systent has Is
`typically been done by integrating or connecting Cilobal
`Positionin System (CIPS) technology into the local navi-
`ational system. New positioning determination systems

`TOA (Time-of-Aruval), and
`assisted GPS systcnw so
`for dcacituhuug Ihc local navigation sysImn's position. The
`unit's location is then displayed on the device and is
`avaihble for various applications, such as in the case of a
`contnutter seeking the shortest route to a locution in a
`specific area or a user wanting to find the nearest gas station. Ls
`Destination locutions arc typically determined by mamt-
`ally accessing stored information from a local database
`
`tit'avigationalinformation storage system, such as a DVD
`
`o
`
`s
`
`disc or C:D-ROM discs. Location information is found by
`searching through categories of information until the desired
`location is found. or altemativcly, by cross rcfcrmicing
`Ielcphonc numbers with addresses by me;ms ol'he local
`storage system Convmiuonally. mmicrous discs, or even
`numerous sets of disc~. are required to provide adequate
`detailed geographic coverage. including address and tele-
`phone information about a given metropolitan area. Thm is,
`conventional in-vehicle navigation systems require that on
`cxtcnsive collection of storage thscs bc carrwd witlun the
`tehicle. Additionally, puor art DVD and CD-ROM disc
`based systems require pcnodic updaung. That is. cvcn after io
`a user has purchased a set of discs, new replacement discs
`nuist be acquired, for exaniple, as new roads and points of
`interest information are updated.
`As an additiouul drawback, some navigation systcnw Ilmt
`do not have Ihc storage capability, such as wireless PDAs ss
`(Personal Digital Assistant) or typical cell phoneg are not
`able to implement cross referencing of telephone muubers to
`
`addrcsscs locally duc Io Ihc large memory mid slomgc size
`requirements of such an operation and low computational
`power of thc devices. Furthenmtrc, since most busuiesscs
`and individuals can chan e their telephone muiibers nuiner-
`ous times while at their current address dctcmiiiung desti-
`nation locations fmm telephone nunibers on a locally-stored
`database inherently causes the information to be out of date
`I'hese and other changes. such as a new
`and inaccurate
`telephone line or an area code change. would invalidate the
`current version of locally-stored DVD or CD-ROlvi disc
`information. As a further drawback. mobile navigation
`devices and stauonary landline computing dcviccs arc no1
`alv ays associated tvith telephone mimbers, but rather Inter-
`net Protocol (IP) addrcsscs or Ilu: like.
`Convention art systems are typically Incapable of obtain-
`iug position information over dynamically-conligurcd cun-
`nections such as, for example. current fleet tracking systems

`I lowever, should an outside system or individual desire to

`device hss privacy settings that allow the device to prevent
`or liniit other calling devices from obtaining position infor-
`mation. These privacy settin s can include allowance of
`position infomlation transfers only when a voice or video
`connection is established and/or only with the device own-
`er's pernnssiou. Other sctungs may include allowing any
`remote device lo request position uilbnuauon for any speci-
`fied amount of tinie
`Wireless and/or landline devices are not always suited to

`Mobile devices do not always have access to a uetworkcd

`such as when wirelcss luirdware access is not possible or
`v hen there is a lack of wirele~s network coverage lior this
`reason, another emboduncnl of thc prcscnt invention pro-
`vides a nieans to download batches of position information
`v bile the mobile device is connected usin, for example. a
`v ireless, infrared, or wired connection to the online net-
`worl ed database server. such as„ for example, a mobile
`dcvicc connicted lo a PC as a conduit to thc lntcmcl and tlnis
`connected to the online networked database server. This can
`apply to wireless devices that have a predefined wireless
`coverage chart stored internally lbr thc purpose ol'cier-
`numng when a dciicc is near thc boundary of wireless
`covcliigc. If lhc lnobilc ih:vlcc ls near such a boilildang lhc

`ment, a mobile device, such as an in-vehicle navigation
`system, prior to leavin tiir a destination would downkiad a
