Patent ID: 7885664

Claim:
A method of generating triggers for the provision of location based services in a mobile communication network supporting a plurality of mobile terminals over a given territory, comprising the steps of: defining a set of target areas within said territory, each target area in said set being identified by respective geographic data; transforming said geographic data in a respective set of values of network related entities, said respective set of values being expected to be associated with a mobile terminal of said mobile network when located in the corresponding target area and at least one value of the respective set is weighted by a probabilistic index as a function of a temporal percentage of presence of at least one of the network related entities; monitoring the values in said respective set as associated to at least one monitored mobile terminal in said mobile communication network; checking whether said values as monitored match with said set of values as expected to be encountered; and when a match is found, which is indicative of said monitored mobile terminal being located in a given target area of said set: generating a trigger for prompting delivery of location based services related to said given target area in said set toward said monitored mobile terminal, and activating a set of location actions carried out by said mobile terminal or said mobile network, to improve the accuracy of the location of said mobile terminal being monitored within said given target area.
