Abstract
Requests for location fix for a mobile device, received from one or more Location Based Service (LBS) applications are queued in a queue in the mobile device. Based on information in a first queued request, the mobile device runs a location engine in a first fix mode to obtain a location fix for the mobile device, for a response to the first request. While the location engine is running to obtain the fix for the response to the first request, the mobile device analyzes information in a second queued request, to determine a second fix mode for response to the second request. Based on a comparison of the first and second fix modes, the mobile device may change the information in the second request to correspond to the first fix mode, before output of the second request from the queue to the location engine.
