Terminal Location

 


Operations

The RESTful Terminal Location interfaces allow an application to get a location for an individual terminal or a group of terminals; to get the distance of the terminal from a specific location; and to start and stop notifications, based on geographic location or on a periodic interval.

In the listings below, bold indicates a required attribute, <> a descriptive comment.

Note: An HTML version of this information is at http://host:port/rest/terminal_location/index.html where host and port depend on the Oracle Communications Services Gatekeeper installation.

Get Location

Gets the location of a single terminal

Note: If a group URI is provided, an error response is returned.

Request

${query}:

{

"acceptableAccuracy": "Integer",<The range that the application considers useful. If the location cannot be determined within this range, the application would prefer not to receive the information.>

"address": "URI",<address of the terminal to be located>

"requestedAccuracy": "Integer",<The range over which the application wishes to receive location information. This may influence the choice of location technology to use (for instance, cell sector location may be suitable for requests specifying 1000 meters, but GPS technology may be required for requests below 100 meters).>

"tolerance": "NoDelay|LowDelay|DelayTolerant",<The priority of response time versus accuracy. See Table 7-1 for more information.>.

Table 7-1 Enumeration values
Value
Meaning
NoDelay
The server should immediately return any location estimate that it currently has. If no estimate is available, the server return a failure indication. It may optionally initiate procedures to obtain a location estimate (e.g. to be available for a later request
LowDelay
The response time is more important than requested accuracy. The server attempts to fulfil any accuracy requirement, but not if it adds delay. A quick response with lower accuracy is more desirable than waiting for a more accurate response.
DelayTolerant
The network is expected to return a location with the requested accuracy even if this means not complying with the requested response time.
