Handling location determinations in a telecommunications network to reduce subscriber-experienced latency while conserving network resources

摘要

The last known location and last time of location update can be stored for each of a set of mobile devices in device-specific records. A request for a specific mobile device can be received from a location services application. The last time of location update for the specific mobile device can be checked against a current time. If the last update time is current enough, the last known location for the device can be conveyed to the location services application. Information can then be presented on the device that is specific to its last known location.
