A system and method is provided for using location information associated with wireless devices. The system includes a wireless device, a location system, and a feature server. The wireless device includes any wireless apparatus having wireless communications capabilities. The location system can generate location information pinpointing the location of the wireless device. The feature server can use the location information to determine whether to execute an action in accordance with subscriber rules. A large number of applications may be implemented to execute the action via a number of communication channels, including without limitation, a wireless communications network, a computer network, and a public switched telephone system, for example.

We claim: 1. A system for use with a wireless device characterized by a location for executing an action specified in subscriber rules based on location information comprising: a location system in communication with the wireless device configured to generate location information associated with th
We claim: 1. A system for use with a wireless device characterized by a location for executing an action specified in subscriber rules based on location information comprising: a location system in communication with the wireless device configured to generate location information associated with the wireless device; and a feature server in communication with the location system and the wireless device, the feature server configured to perform the action according to the subscriber rules if the location information satisfies the subscriber rules, wherein the action includes implementing personalized features associated with the wireless device at a particular location dependent upon user preference at the particular location. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the wireless device is a handheld computer. 3. The system of claim 1, wherein one or both of the location system and the feature server are provisioned at the wireless device. 4. The system of claim 1, wherein the location system is a GPS receiver. 5. The system of claim 1, wherein one or both of the location system and the feature server are not provisioned at the wireless devices. 6. The system of claim 1, wherein the location system and feature server are GPS compatible components. 7. The system of claim 1, further comprising a memory accessible by the feature server, wherein the memory comprises the subscriber rules. 8. The system of claim 1, wherein the location information comprises position coordinates. 9. The system of claim 7, wherein the position coordinates comprise a longitude and a latitude. 10. The system of claim 8, wherein the position coordinates further comprise an altitude. 11. The system of claim 7, wherein the position coordinates comprise an component and a Y component of a coordinate system. 12. The system of claim 1, wherein the action is executed via a global computer network. 13. A method for executing an action based on location information comprising: (a) receiving subscriber rules associated with a wireless device, wherein the wireless device is characterized by a location; (b) receiving the location information associated with the wireless device; (c) reviewing the location information and the subscriber rules; and (d) executing the action if the location information satisfies the subscriber rules, wherein the action includes implementing personalized features associated with the wireless device at a particular location dependent upon user preference at the particular location. 14. The method of claim 13, further comprising the step of querying the subscriber whether the action should be executed. 15. The method of claim 13, wherein the subscriber rules relate the location with the action. 16. The method of claim 13, wherein the action is executed via a global computer network. 17. The method of claim 13, further comprising the step of monitoring the subscriber's habits for using the wireless device. 18. The method of claim 17, further comprising the step of defining the subscriber rules using the habits. 19. The method of claim 13, wherein the action is a default action. 20. A method for using a wireless device comprising: (a) delineating a location; (b) defining an action to be executed when the wireless device is at the delineated location, wherein the action is based on rules which include implementing personalized features associated with the wireless device at a delineated location based at least in part upon previous user habits while using the wireless device at the delineated location; (c) comparing the wireless device's location to the delineated location; and (d) executing the action if the location information indicates that the wireless device is at the delineated location. 21. The method of claim 20, wherein the step of delineating uses at least three nodes. 22. The method of claim 20, wherein the step of delineating uses one node and a radius. 23. The method of claim 20, wherein the step of defining the action is specified by the subscriber. 24. The method of claim 20, wherein the step of defining the action is performed by a feature server based on habits of the subscriber for using the wireless device. 25. The method of claim 24, wherein the action is a default action until the habits are established. 26. The method of claim 20, wherein the location information is generated by a location system. 27. The method of claim 26, wherein the location system is a GPS receiver. 28. The method of claim 20, wherein the location information is based on strengths of wireless signal experienced by the wireless device. 29. The method of claim 20, wherein the location information comprises point coordinates. 30. The method of claim 13, wherein the action further comprises forwarding a communication to another wireless device. 31. The method of claim 13, wherein the action further comprises forwarding a communication to a voice mailbox. 32. The method of claim 13, wherein the action further comprises manipulating a feature on the wireless device. 33. The method of claim 13, wherein the action further comprises displaying a menu of call management options. 34. The method of claim 13, wherein the action further comprises calling a telephone number and playing a voice recording. 35. The method of claim 13, wherein the action further comprises estimating a time of arrival to a destination. 36. The method of claim 13, wherein the action further comprises controlling the wireless device to operate in one or more modes. 37. The method of claim 20, wherein the action further comprises forwarding a communication to another wireless device. 38. The method of claim 20, wherein the action further comprises forwarding a communication to a voice mailbox. 39. The method of claim 20, wherein the action further comprises manipulating a feature on the wireless device. 40. The method of claim 20, wherein the action further comprises displaying a menu of call management options. 41. The method of claim 20, wherein the action further comprises calling a telephone number and playing a voice recording. 42. The method of claim 20, wherein the action further comprises estimating a time of arrival to a destination. 43. The method of claim 20, wherein the action further comprises controlling the wireless device to operate in one or more modes.
