Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé, un dispositif et un système destinés à rendre compte d'une position, le procédé comportant les étapes consistant à : acquérir des informations d'événement destinées à signaler qu'un équipement d'utilisateur visé entre dans une zone de localisation visée ou la quitte, et les informations d'événement comprenant les informations de position de la zone de localisation visée ; sur la base des informations concernant la position où se situe l'équipement d'utilisateur et sur les informations de position de la zone de localisation visée, déterminer si l'équipement d'utilisateur entre dans la zone de localisation visée ou s'il la quitte ; et si l'équipement d'utilisateur entre dans la zone de localisation visée ou s'il la quitte, signaler alors à un élément de réseau servant à la gestion du réseau un événement selon lequel l'équipement d'utilisateur entre dans la zone de localisation visée ou la quitte, de telle façon que l'élément de réseau de gestion puisse effectuer un compte rendu d'événement. Les modes de réalisation de la présente invention permettent de satisfaire l'exigence d'un serveur d'applications imposant à un équipement d'utilisateur d'effectuer un compte rendu d'événement lorsqu'il entre dans une zone de localisation visée ou la quitte ; la signalisation superflue peut être éliminée, la charge de signalisation du système peut être réduite ; il n'est pas nécessaire qu'un équipement d'utilisateur établisse un support et maintienne un état d'activité, et les ressources de réseau occupées par le compte rendu de position peuvent être soulagées.
