Abstract:
A method of updating a location information, which represents a physical location of a communication device (2), is generated by a location source (1), and sent from the location source (1) via a location object generating unit (1A, 2A) and a cache unit (3A) to a location consumer (4), comprises caching a first location information (6) in the cache unit (3A), monitoring of a second location information (60) received subsequently to the first location information (6) at the location object generating unit (1A, 2A) by the location object generating unit (1A, 2A) to detect an invalid location information, and, triggered by the detection of an invalid location information (30, 50, 70), sending a location object (31, 51, 61, 71, 81) generated by the location object generating unit (1A, 2A) from the location object generating unit (1A, 2A) to the cache unit (3A), wherein the location object (31, 51, 61, 71, 81) comprises an invalidation information (85-88) indicating that a location information (6, 83) sent prior to the location object (31, 51, 61, 71, 81) is invalid such that, when the location object (31, 51, 61, 71, 81) is received at the cache unit (3A), the cached first location information (6) is discarded by the cache unit (3A).
