Proxy for Location Enabled Services
- Shields applications from the method used to retrieve the location information (GPS data from client, network based data, measurements in combination with mapping server etc.), leaving operators free to use the best method for each network.
- Provides a single, well defined interface to applications for server initiated requests, regardless of different protocols and formats used to determine the location.
- Allows location data to be added for client initiated requests, automatically and transparently to the client.
- Provides a single point for access control to the location information owner by restricting access to the location server.
- Provides a single point for privacy policy management.
