Abstract

An apparatus, system, and method for managing geographical location information of a portable communication device by determining and storing the geographic location information while registered on a cellular communication system in response to detecting an available wireless local area network (WLAN) system. When the portable communication device is communicating on the cellular communication system and a WLAN access point is detected, a location determination procedure is performed and the resulting geographical location information is stored at the portable communication device. When the portable communication device, is communicating with a wireless access point of a WLAN system, and a second access point is detected, the portable communication device registers to the cellular communication network, if not already registered, and performs the geographical location determination procedure. Geographical location information is transmitted to a public safety answering point (PSAP) or network entity when an emergency call is executed.

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS received by the International Bureau on 02 July 2007 (02.07.2007)

12. A portable communication device comprising; a transceiver configured to receive signals to exchange signals with a cellular base station of a cellular communication system; a controller configured to determine geographical location information in response to detecting an available alternate wireless communication system while the portable communication device is registered on the cellular communication system; and a memory configured to store the geographic location information at the portable communication device.
13. The portable communication device of claim 12, wherein the available alternate wireless communication system comprises a wireless local area network "WLAN" system.
14. The portable communication device of claim 13, wherein the controller is further configured to detect the WLAN system while the portable communication device is communicating through the celfular communication network-
15. The portable communication device of claim 13, wherein the controller is further configured to detect, while the portable communication device is communicating through a WLAN coverage area, another WLAN coverage area.
16. The portable communication device of claim 12, wherein the transceiver is further configured to transmit the geographic location information through the alternate wireless network to an emergency public safety answering point "PSAP".
17. The portable communication device of claim 13, wherein the transceiver is further configured to transmit the geographic location information through the cellular communication system.
18. The portable communication device of claim 14, wherein the controller is further configured to determine the geographical location information based on location data received from a global positioning satellite "GPS" system.
19. A dual mode portable communication device comprising: detecting means for detecting a wireless local area network "WLAN" system while communicating within a cellular system; location determination means for determining, in response to the detecting, geographical location information based on location data received at the dual mode portable communication device; storing means for storing the geographical location information; and transmitting means for transmitting the geographical location information after an emergency call is initiated from the portable communication device.
