Abstract

Embodiments of a method and system for providing geographic context for services delivered over a network, without user intervention, are described. In one embodiment, the geographic location of an access point on a wireless network, or a reference to the geographic location, is stored in the access point (202). The information can be in the form of latitude/ longitude or street address. The access point makes this information available to mobile clients, carriers, or service providers by broadcasting this information at regular time intervals, or by responding to a query (204). A mobile client device searches for broadcasts of geographic location transmitted by an access point over a network, and retransmits any geographic location information in a first application layer protocol to a service provided by a server coupled to the access point over the network (206). The application accepts the geographic location of the access point as the geographic location of the client device.
