Abstract:

A method of requesting location-based services using a rejection model. Responsive to receiving from a pervasive device a network request for location-based processing, the received network request can be stored prior to being forwarded to a selected location-based application. A rejection response to the forwarded network request can be received subsequently and a request for required location information can be identified in the rejection response. The required location information can be identified within the stored network request and a specific network request can be formulated with the required location information. Finally, the specific network request can be forwarded to the selected location-based application. The selected location-based application, in turn, can perform the requested location-based processing using the required location information provided in the specific network response.
