Abstract
The invention pertains to dynamic specification of location collection and computation logic. First, a request for location data from an end device is received. The location data is loaded from at least one electronic database. It is then determined whether an algorithm version number is indicated in the request and whether the algorithm version number indicated in the request equals a latest algorithm version number. The location data and an algorithm for location collection and computation is embedded in a stream, if it is determined that the algorithm version number is not indicated in the request or that the algorithm version number indicated in the request is not equal to the latest algorithm version number. Only the location data is embedded in the stream, if it is determined that the algorithm version number is indicated in the request and that the algorithm version number indicated in the request is equal to the latest algorithm version number. The stream is then streamed to the end device.
