Abstract: A system and method of locating "friends" having mobile devices connected to a network and associated with a user account is disclosed. The method includes sending a request to a mobile device, the mobile device determining its present geographic location and responding to the requestor with this information. This information may be in the form of a coordinate location such as a GPS location or it may be in the form of a name that the mobile device owner assigned to a particular area (e.g., "home"). Having this location information, a user is able to view the location of the friend that is associated with the mobile device.

Abstract: Ein System und ein Verfahren zur Lokalisierung von „Freunden” wird offenbart, welche mobile Geräte besitzen, die mit einem Netzwerk verbunden sind und mit einem Benutzerkonto verknüpft sind. Das Verfahren beinhaltet das Senden einer Anfrage an ein mobiles Gerät, wobei das mobile Gerät seinen aktuellen geographischen Standort bestimmt und mit dieser Information dem Fragenden antwortet. Diese Information kann in Form einer koordinatengestützten Bestimmung, wie zum Beispiel einer GPS-Standortbestimmung, vorliegen oder sie kann in Form eines Namens vorliegen, welchen der Besitzer des mobilen Geräts einem speziellen Bereich zugewiesen hat (zum Beispiel „zu Hause”). Wenn er diese Informationen hat, ist ein Anwender in der Lage, den Standort des Freundes zu sehen, welcher mit dem mobilen Gerät verknüpft ist.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for remotely initiating lost mode on a computing device. A request that lost mode be initiated can include a message and contact information provided by the requesting user. Once authenticated, a command to initiate lost mode is sent to the lost device. Initiating lost mode includes locking the lost device and suppressing select functionality. The message and contact information are displayed and the lost device is enabled to contact the requesting user using the contact information. The lost device can also collect and transmit location data to the requesting user. The location data can be presented on a map indicating the lost devices location and the time the lost device was at the location. The location data can be scheduled to be resent to the user based on numerous factors such as a set schedule, rules or heuristic.

Abstract: The present technology resolves playlist version conflicts resulting from modifications made to a playlist version, stored on a client device and in a cloud locker, when the client device and the cloud locker are in a disconnected state. The present technology is a heuristic for determining how to resolve such version conflicts. Upon reconnection of the client and cloud locker, the server, associated with cloud locker attempts to reconcile any version discrepancies resulting from user-initiated changes. In one embodiment, when the server determines that one of the playlists on the client or server is a superset of the other, the superset is selected and saved to both the client and cloud locker, while the subset version is deleted.

Abstract: A system and method of locating mobile devices connected to a network is disclosed. A server receives a request to determine the location of one or more devices. The server determines whether an accurate response is required, or an approximate response will suffice. If the latter, a shallow location request, which may include an acceptable accuracy range, is sent to the requested device. The requested device will preferably fulfil the request without using an available GPS device, using less accurate, low power methods instead, and preserving battery life. The server may determine an approximate response is required if the request is for locations of multiple devices. The requester may ask for permission to locate the requested devices, which may only last for a set period of time. The server may store device locations, so, if the cached location has not expired, subsequent requests for the same device can be serviced more quickly, with minimal communication.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for setting a reminder triggered by a target device. A requesting device sends a request to a server to set a reminder triggered by a target device. The request includes parameters, such as a location and a condition that define when the reminder is triggered. The server sends instruction to the target device to set the reminder based on the parameters. When the condition such as arrival is met by the target device in relation to the location the target device sends a message to the server that the reminder has been triggered. The target device can set a geo-fence to determine the position of the target device in relation to the location, and the requesting user can dictate the size of the geo-fence. The server sends a notification to the requesting device that the reminder has been triggered.
