Abstract
A system and method for access to data containing location information. From a terminal (10), a request is made for determining data (170). When processing the request by a search program (software agent) (S), the position of the terminal (10) is taken into account.
Claims33
A method for access to data containing location information, the method comprising:
- receiving a request for a determination of data, the request being sent from a terminal to a computer connected to a data communications network;
- determining the position of the requesting terminal;
- setting up connections with one or more service provisioning computers of the data communications network;
- processing the request at the one or more service provisioning computers;
- evaluating the processed request based on the determined position of the requesting terminal;
- generating a response based on the evaluation, the response including data containing location information related to the position of the requesting terminal;
- and
- transmitting the response to the requesting terminal.
A system for access to data containing location information, the system comprising:
- means for receiving a request for a determination of data, the request being sent from a terminal to a computer connected to a data communications network;
- means for determining the position of the requesting terminal;
- means for setting up connections with one or more service provisioning computers of the data communications network;
- means for processing the request at the one or more service provisioning computers;
- means for evaluating the processed request based on the determined position of the requesting terminal;
- means for generating a response based on the evaluation, the response including data containing location information related to the position of the requesting terminal;
- and
- means for transmitting the response to the requesting terminal.
A computer program product for access to data containing location information, the computer program product comprising a computer readable medium having a computer readable program code thereon, the computer program code comprising:
- program code for receiving a request for a determination of data, the request being sent from a terminal to a computer connected to a data communications network;
- program code for determining the position of the requesting terminal;
- program code for setting up connections with one or more service provisioning computers of the data communications network;
- program code for processing the request at the one or more service provisioning computers;
- program code for evaluating the processed request based on the determined position of the requesting terminal;
- program code for generating a response based on the evaluation, the response including data containing location information related to the position of the requesting terminal;
- and
- program code for transmitting the response to the requesting terminal.
