Abstract:
In some implementations a method includes receiving a first message from a computing device via a first network. The first message may indicate that the computing device is unable to communicate with a second network. The method also includes determining whether a beacon operator has requested tracking of the computing device. The method further includes transmitting a second message to the beacon operator when the beacon operator has requested tracking of the computing device. The second message may include a first geographical location identified by the first network.
