Abstract:
1. A method for localizing a mobile terminal, comprising: a server sending a query to the mobile terminal, the query prompting the mobile terminal to determine a geographical position of the mobile terminal; the server receiving position information for the mobile terminal, the position information based on the geographical position of the mobile terminal; the server determining a speed of displacement of the mobile terminal from the position information; and the server resending the query at an adjustable frequency, wherein the adjustable frequency is determined as a function of the speed of displacement of the mobile terminal; wherein the adjustable frequency is increased when the speed of displacement of the mobile terminal increases above a first predetermined amount and the adjustable frequency is reduced when the speed of displacement of the mobile terminal decreases below a second predetermined amount such that an amount of dynamic load on a transmission system and processing components is reduced when the speed of displacement of the mobile terminal is at a predetermined speed.
