    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 5 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: 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.
