An E911-enabled wireless network including a switching center is configured receive a request to generate location information regarding a remote mobile station, and send said location information to a subscriber only after obtaining consent from the remote mobile station. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method for locating and tracking a mobile locator device, comprising: receiving at a server computer current location data of a mobile locator device sent over a telecommunication network, the current location data corresponding to a current location of a mobile locator device; receiving at the server computer a request for information relating to the current location of the mobile locator device; and sending information relating to the current location data from the server computer in response to the request without providing information regarding the request to the mobile locator device. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of repeating the receiving location data step at predetermined intervals. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the server computer is configured to store at least one predefined location and a predefined proximity from the at least one predefined location. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The method of claim 3, further comprising the step of the server computer determining whether the current location data indicates that the mobile locator device is within the predefined proximity from the at least one predefined location. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The method of claim 4, further comprising the step of the server computer sending information relating to the current location data when the current location data indicates that the mobile locator device is outside the predefined proximity from the at least one predefined location. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The method of claim 5, wherein the at least one predefined location is a street address. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of the server computer verifying that the client is authorized to receive information relating to the current location data. ### Claim 8 A method for locating and tracking a mobile locator device, comprising: receiving at a server computer current location data of a mobile locator device sent over a telecommunication network, the current location data corresponding to a current location of a mobile locator device; receiving at the server computer a request for the current location of the mobile locator device; and sending information relating to the current location data from the server computer in response to the request without any direct communication between the client and the mobile locator device concerning the request. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, further comprising the step of repeating the receiving location data step at predetermined intervals. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, wherein the server computer is configured to store at least one predefined location and a predefined proximity from the at least one predefined location. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10, further comprising the step of the server computer determining whether the current location data indicates that the mobile locator device is within the predefined proximity from the at least one predefined location. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, further comprising the step of the server computer sending information relating to the current location data when the current location data indicates that the mobile locator device is outside the predefined proximity from the at least one predefined location. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The method of claim 12, wherein the at least one predefined location is a street address. ### Claim 14 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, further comprising the step of the server computer verifying that the client is authorized to receive the current location data.
