SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DISPLAYING THE LOCATION OF A WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS DEVICE

摘要

A system and method for displaying the current street address on the display (108) of a mobile wireless communications device (100). The longitude and latitude of the device is determined by a system such as GPS and triangulation. This information is appended to the URL of a web server (136), and a browser contained within the wireless device navigates to the server. The server (136) performs reverse geocode processing on the longitude and latitude to compute the corresponding street address.
