Abstract:
A first mobile device detects a second mobile device in the vicinity of the first mobile device and determines that the second mobile device is lost. The first mobile device electronically binds to the second mobile device and obtains information relating to the second mobile device. The first mobile device sends the information relating to the second mobile device to a designated party. The first mobile device receives an indication that the second device is no longer lost. The first mobile device, in response to receiving the indication that the second device is no longer lost, unbinds from the second mobile device.
