Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for responding to a command at a mobile telecommunications terminal based on the geo-location of the terminal are disclosed. The illustrative embodiment determines the appropriate response based on geo-location and optionally, one or more additional factors (e.g., who the user is, the nature of the command, what the data is when the command is a query, the date and time [i.e., “calendrical time”], etc.). Responses based on the geo-location of the terminal (and inferentially, the user) might be desirable in a variety of settings, such as hospitals, banks, military bases, libraries, museums, etc.
