Abstract
A system and method for creating a location uniform resource identifier (“URI”) for determining the location of a target device. A location request may be received for a target device. Location context information may be collected for the target device including starting information, validating information and policy information. This collected location context information may be encrypted in a location information server and converted to a form compatible with URI syntax. A location URI may then be constructed as a function of the converted information.
Claims23
A method for creating a location uniform resource identifier (“URI”) for determining the location of a target device, comprising the steps of:
- (a) receiving a location request for a target device;
- (b) collecting location context information for the target device including starting information, validating information and policy information;
- (c) encrypting the collected location context information in a location information server (“LIS”);
- (d) converting the encrypted location context information to a form compatible with URI syntax;
- and
- (e) constructing a location URI as a function of the converted information.
A location information server (“LIS”) comprising:
- (a) circuitry for receiving a location request for a target device;
- (b) circuitry for collecting location context information for the target device including starting information, validating information and policy information;
- (c) circuitry for encrypting the collected location context information;
- (d) circuitry for converting the encrypted location context information to a form compatible with uniform resource identifier (“URI”) syntax;
- and
- (e) circuitry for constructing a location URI as a function of the converted information.
