Method and device for position determination

An apparatus comprising,

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following:
• receive a first request for position of a mobile terminal from a first application resident on the mobile terminal;
• receive a second request for the position of the mobile terminal from a second application resident on the mobile terminal;
• select a positioning scheme among a plurality of positioning schemes for determining the position according to a first criterion specified by the first application and a second criterion specified by the second application;
• determine whether positioning data satisfies either of the first criterion or the second criterion;
• and
• initiate forwarding of the position data to the first application if the first criterion is satisfied and to the second application if the second criterion is satisfied.

A computer-readable storage medium carrying one or more sequences of one or more instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause an apparatus to perform at least the following:

• receive a first request for position of a mobile terminal from a first application resident on the mobile terminal;
• receive a second request for the position of the mobile terminal from a second application resident on the mobile terminal;
• select a positioning scheme among a plurality of positioning schemes for determining the position according to a first criterion specified by the first application and a second criterion specified by the second application;
• determine whether positioning data satisfies either of the first criterion or the second criterion;
• and
• initiate forwarding of the positioning data to the first application if the first criterion is satisfied and to the second application if the second criterion is satisfied.
