Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a location service and method for providing a location aware computing device extensible by allowing different types of location awareness providers to operate with the service. SOLUTION: The method comprises functions of receiving a request for a location context, acquiring data associated with a current location from one or more location detecting devices, reconciling the acquired data for any inconsistencies concerning the current location by applying either or both of a hierarchical process and a metric process, and generating a location object accessible to applications. The service comprises a location management component configured to route location data, a fuser engine configured to receive location reports generated from the location data, to reconcile conflicts between the location reports and to generate a location object, and a location application programming interface (API) coupled to the location management component to transmit the location object from the fuser engine to an application.
