LOCATION INFORMATION NOTIFYING SYSTEM AND METHOD, TERMINAL LOCATION DETERMINING APPARATUS, AND PRIVACY CHECK APPARATUS

摘要

A terminal (101) sends a location request message to a terminal location determining apparatus (103) of a mobile unit network (100) so as to notify information of the location of the terminal to a server (102). The terminal location determining apparatus (103) determines, based on privacy information of the user of the terminal (101), whether the notification of the location information from the terminal (101) to the server (102) has been permitted. Only when determining that it has been permitted, the terminal location determining apparatus (103) performs a location determination for the terminal (101), and provides the terminal (101) with the location information thereof. The terminal (101) then notifies the provided location information thereof to the server (102).
