发明名称 LOCATION-BASED TELEPHONE CALLS OVER A WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORK (WLAN)
摘要 A request to access a location-based service is received via a wireless access point (WAP). A WAP identifier associated with the WAP may be identified based on the request and a particular geographic location associated with the WAP may be determined based on the identifier. For example, a WAP information service (WIS) may store data associating geographic locations and WAP identifiers corresponding to a plurality of WAPs that include the WAP, and the particular geographic location may be determined by querying the WIS, based on the particular WAP identifier, to identify the particular geographic location. A communication may be established between the user device and location-based service based on the particular geographic location associated with the WAP.

主权项 1. A method comprising: receiving, by a processor, a request from a user device to access a location-based service via a wireless access point (WAP); determining whether the user device is static or mobile, wherein determining whether the user device is static or mobile includes: determining a length of time that the user device has accessed the WAP;determining that the user device is mobile when the length of time that the user device has accessed the WAP is less than a threshold amount; anddetermining that the user device is static when the length of time that the user device has accessed the WAP satisfies the threshold amount; identifying, by the processor, a particular WAP identifier associated with the WAP based on the request; determining, by the processor, a particular geographic location based on the identifier and based on determining whether the user device is static or mobile, wherein a first WAP information service (WIS) stores data associating first geographic locations and WAP identifiers corresponding to a plurality of WAPs that include the WAP, wherein a second WIS stores data associating the WAP identifiers and second geographic locations corresponding to other access points, wherein the first geographic locations differ from the second geographic locations, and wherein determining the particular geographic location includes: querying, based on determining that the user device is static, the first WIS based on the particular WAP identifier to identify, as the particular geographic location, one of the first geographic locations corresponding to the WAP, andquerying, based on determining that the user device is mobile, the second WIS based on the particular WAP identifier to identify, as the particular geographic location, one of the second geographic locations; and establishing, by the processor, a communication between the user device and the location-based service based on the particular geographic location.
