METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING A LOG OF MOBILE STATION LOCATION REQUESTS

摘要

A method and system of providing a log of mobile station geographic location requests is useful for protecting the privacy of mobile station users. The method is performed on a mobile station and includes receiving (805) in the mobile station a location request from a requestor, the location request seeking the geographic location of the mobile station. It is then determined (810) whether the location request is a Mobile Terminated Location Request (MTLR), a Network Initiated Location Request (NILR), or a Mobile Originated Location Request (MOLR). Log information about the location request is then stored (815) and it is determined (820) whether the mobile station has local privacy settings that apply uniquely to the requestor. The location request is then responded to (835) in accordance with local privacy settings, and log information about the response to the location request is stored (840).
