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: 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: 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.
