August 9, 2019. Estimated Expiration Date is calculated based on simple USPTO term provisions. It does not account for terminal disclaimers, term adjustments, failure to pay maintenance fees, or other factors which might affect the term of a patent.Patent ReferencesLocation-based adaptive radio control Electronic control system/network Storage, transmission, communication and access to geographical positioning data linked with standard telephony numbering and encoded for use in telecommunications and related services Method and system for position determination using video dial tone PHS terminal disabling system Location-dependent cellular service profile Positioning system having an RF-measurements databank Method and apparatus for restricting operation of cellular telephones to well delineated geographical areas Location based paging for mobile telephone units Providing notification of location dependent services to mobile stations InventorsApplicationNo. 370944 filed on 08/09/1999US Classes:455/456.4, Quiet or transmission prevention mode455/411, Privacy, lock-out, or authentication455/421Out-of-range indicationExaminersPrimary: Urban, Edward F.Assistant: Craver, Charles Attorney, Agent or FirmInternational ClassH04Q 007/20AbstractA telecommunications system and method is disclosed for defining restricted positioning areas by geographical location. The restricted area information can be established by the cellular network or the mobile subscriber, and can be stored in a database, such as an Intelligent Network (IN) node. An IN trigger can be included in the subscriber information provided to the serving Mobile Switching Center/Visitor Location Register (MSC/VLR) or the IN trigger can be stored in specific MSC/VLR's that have restricted positioning areas for all mobile subscribers. Upon receiving the calculated location estimate, the IN trigger is activated, and the MSC/VLR transmits the calculated location estimate to the IN node to determine whether the calculated location estimate can be provided to the requesting Location Services (LCS) client based upon the defined restricted positioning area information.Field of SearchLand vehicle location (e.g., bus, police carSwitching or routing Location display Including personal numbering system (i.e., intelligent network for subscriber tracking or follow-me subscriber feature) Out-of-range indication Switching unit detail (e.g., mobile telephone switching office (MTSO), base station controller (BSC), etc.) Base station detail Auxiliary data signaling (e.g., short message service (SMS)) At remote location For taxi | |
