A method and system for tailoring responses from a location-determination
system. A location-determination system will receive a position request
from a location-based service (such as a PSAP), seeking the location of a
wireless communication device, and the location-determination system will
provide a position response, indicating the location of the wireless
communication device. A rules engine positioned in the communication path
between the location-determination system and the location-based service
will intercept the position response and will tailor the response in a
manner dependent on the identity of the location-based service that sent
the request. Advantageously, a wireless service provider can control
operation of the rules engine to dictate how to tailor various position
responses, without the need to modify operation of the
location-determination system.
