Location aware voice calls and messages

摘要

A communications network includes a mobile communications device and a communications terminal. The device and terminal are engaged in a call which includes audio stream data. An operation is performed, either at the mobile device or in the supporting network, to determine a location of the mobile communications device and link metadata representing the determined mobile communications device location to the audio stream data sent from that mobile communications device for the call. At the communications terminal, the metadata is extracted from the audio stream data to allow for presentation of the location of the mobile communications device.
