<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and an apparatus to automatically start and/or stop the generation of position location data for position location functions in external devices, which are adapted to be electrically coupled to and electrically decoupled from a mobile station. <P>SOLUTION: A method and an apparatus automatically trigger position location fixes for external devices. In one embodiment of the present invention, a mobile station generates position location data for a position location function in an external device in response to determining that the mobile station is electrically coupled to the external device, and in response to determining that the position location function in the external device is active. The mobile station does not generate position location data for the position location function in the external device in response to determining that the mobile station is electrically decoupled from the external device, or in response to determining that the position location function in the external device is not active. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
