A specific type of URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) is included in the ALI data response field, addressing specific augmented location data maintained by the augmented information server, e.g., a map image file, building floor plan, etc. The Augmented Information URI addresses to information accessed by the Augmented Information Server, inserted into an ALI data response field. The augmented, extended or additional location information is stored at a particular web address accessed through a query to the Augmented Information server. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method of obtaining augmented location information in relation to an incoming call, comprising: querying an automatic location information (ALI) database for basic location information; receiving, in response to said ALI query, location information relating to a location of a caller, together with a universal resource indicator (URI) indicating an address of augmented location information relating to said location of said caller; initiating a universal resource indicator (URI) de-reference request to an augmented location information server; and receiving, in return to said URI de-reference request, augmented location information augmenting said location of said caller. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of obtaining augmented location information in relation to an incoming call according to claim 1, wherein: said PSAP initiates said URI de-reference request to said augmented location information server. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of obtaining augmented location information in relation to an incoming call according to claim 1, wherein: said URI de-reference request is performed via an HTTPS browser client. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of obtaining augmented location information in relation to an incoming call according to claim 1, wherein: said URI de-reference request is performed via an HTTP browser client. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of obtaining augmented location information in relation to an incoming call according to claim 1, wherein: said augmented location information comprises a map. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of obtaining augmented location information in relation to an incoming call according to claim 1, wherein: said augmented location information comprises an image file. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of obtaining augmented location information in relation to an incoming call according to claim 1, wherein: said augmented location information comprises a specific DAS antenna description over which a related emergency call was initiated. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method of obtaining augmented location information in relation to an incoming call according to claim 1, wherein: said augmented location information comprises a building floor number. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The method of obtaining augmented location information in relation to an incoming call according to claim 1, wherein: said augmented location information comprises a building room number. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The method of obtaining augmented location information in relation to an incoming call according to claim 1, wherein: said incoming call is an emergency call. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The method of obtaining augmented location information in relation to an incoming call according to claim 1, wherein: wherein a PSAP queries said ALI database. ### Claim 12 Apparatus for obtaining augmented location information in relation to an incoming call, comprising: means for querying an automatic location information (ALI) database for basic location information; means for receiving, in response to said ALI query, location information relating to a location of a caller, together with a universal resource indicator (URI) indicating an address of augmented location information relating to said location of said caller; means for initiating a universal resource indicator (URI) de-reference request to an augmented location information server; and means for receiving, in return to said URI de-reference request, augmented location information augmenting said location of said caller. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The apparatus for obtaining augmented location information in relation to an incoming call according to claim 12, wherein: said PSAP initiates said URI de-reference request to said augmented location information server. ### Claim 14 (depends on 12) The apparatus for obtaining augmented location information in relation to an incoming call according to claim 12, wherein: said URI de-reference request is performed via an HTTPS browser client. ### Claim 15 (depends on 12) The apparatus for obtaining augmented location information in relation to an incoming call according to claim 12, wherein: said URI de-reference request is performed via an HTTP browser client. ### Claim 16 (depends on 12) The apparatus for obtaining augmented location information in relation to an incoming call according to claim 12, wherein: said augmented location information comprises a map. ### Claim 17 (depends on 12) The apparatus for obtaining augmented location information in relation to an incoming call according to claim 12, wherein: said augmented location information comprises an image file. ### Claim 18 (depends on 12) The apparatus for obtaining augmented location information in relation to an incoming call according to claim 12, wherein: said augmented location information comprises a specific DAS antenna description over which a related emergency call was initiated. ### Claim 19 (depends on 12) The apparatus for obtaining augmented location information in relation to an incoming call according to claim 12, wherein: said augmented location information comprises a building floor number. ### Claim 20 (depends on 12) The apparatus for obtaining augmented location information in relation to an incoming call according to claim 12, wherein: said augmented location information comprises a building room number. ### Claim 21 (depends on 12) The apparatus for obtaining augmented location information in relation to an incoming call according to claim 12, wherein: said incoming call is an emergency call. ### Claim 22 (depends on 12) The apparatus for obtaining augmented location information in relation to an incoming call according to claim 12, wherein: wherein a PSAP queries said ALI database.
