A computer-implemented method of providing location information associated with moveable objects, the method being carried out by a location server and comprising: receiving identification, ID, information reports from a plurality of mobile terminals over a wide area cellular network, wherein tag identifications are received over a short range wireless transmission protocol, formatted as the ID information reports, and transmitted by tag reader circuits in the mobile terminals; identifying a movable object associated with each of the ID information reports received from the mobile terminals; updating location information associated with the movable objects responsive to the received ID information reports to provide updated location information for the moveable objects, comprising, for respective ones of the ID information reports: determining an identity of a reporting one of the mobile terminals providing the respective one of the ID information reports; and estimating a location of the identified reporting one of the mobile terminals; updating the location information for the movable object associated with the respective one of the ID information reports based on the estimated location of the reporting one of the mobile terminals; grouping a plurality of the received ID information reports associated with a same one of the movable objects based on a filter time window of times associated with the respective ID information reports; comparing locations of the identified reporting ones of the mobile terminals for the grouped plurality of received ID information reports; and discarding selected ones of the grouped plurality of received ID information reports based on comparing the locations of the identified ones of the mobile terminals; determining an owner associated with each of the movable objects; and allowing access to the location information associated with respective ones of the movable objects only to requestors authorized by the owner associated with the respective ones of the movable objects, wherein the mobile terminals have not been provided notification of ID information associated with the movable objects or of the owners associated with the moveable objects. receiving identification, ID, information reports from a plurality of mobile terminals over a wide area cellular network, wherein tag identifications are received over a short range wireless transmission protocol, formatted as the ID information reports, and transmitted by tag reader circuits in the mobile terminals;
