telephone, (2) a user interface device 133, which has the hardware and/or software
necessary to allow the user to interface with the transceiver and may be a computer

132, such as a global positioning system (GPS) receiver which receives signals from
the GPS satellite system, thereby specifying the location of mobile communication
system 130. The apparatus further includes a resolution server 110 connected to the
