Abstract:
A method of determining whether or not a subscriber is located within the vicinity of a Home Zone defined by a geographical coordinate set. The method comprises receiving from a mobile positioning system a shape specifying a location of the subscriber taking into account a degree of uncertainty, and scaling the received shape to account for an extent of the Home Zone vicinity. It is then determined whether or not the Home Zone lies within the scaled shape.
