A SYSTEM, MOBILE STATION AND A METHOD OF PROVIDING LOCATION BASED INFORMATION

摘要

The invention relates to a solution for providing location based information to a mobile station (MS4). In order to obtain a simple and cheap solution avoiding the need to provide service providers with sensitive location information regarding mobile stations, the server comprises: a data storage (7) for maintaining unique codes and associated location based information, an interface (6) for receiving requests from mobile stations (MS1- MS4) via a mobile communication system (4) and for transmitting location based information to mobile stations (MS1 - MS4) via said mobile communication system (4), and a controller (8) configured to retrieve location based information associated with a unique code (ID1, ID2) from said data storage (7), and to transmit said retrieved location based information to a mobile station (MS4) via said mobile communication system (4) as a response to a received request (10) including said unique code (ID1, ID2) from said mobile station (MS4).
