Abstract
Techniques for supporting location-based services (LBS) by a removable module are described. A set of messages (e.g., commands and events) may be defined to support location-based services by the removable module. In one design, the removable module may send a first message (e.g., a Get Position—Request message) to a terminal to request for location information. The first message may be sent for an LBS application running on the removable module. The removable module may thereafter receive a second message (e.g., a Get Position—Response message) with the requested location information from the terminal. The removable module may execute a task for the LBS application based on the location information. The task may include reporting the location of the terminal, initiating a voice call, sending an SMS message, displaying a menu on the terminal, sending a report for tracking of the terminal, etc.
