Abstract

A utility to invoke web services with information identifying an estimated geographic position of a user. The utility includes a geographic position estimating engine for periodically estimating a geographic position of the user in a first predetermined position information format and a database of website entries stored in an electronically readable medium, each entry specifying a network address of a web service and identifying a corresponding format the web service expects when receiving position information as a web service parameter. The utility also includes logic for detecting web service activation, for accessing the database to identify the expected format for the activated web service, and for invoking transformation logic. The transformation logic transforms position information in the first predetermined format into position information encoded in the identified format for the activated web service. The utility includes logic to issue the web service activation with the position information in the transformed format.
