Abstract
Systems, methods, apparatus and software have been discovered for use by individual users to monitor the geographic location of other people or assets with some relationship to the user. Once some manner of location information is determined, users have the ability to describe that location in various ways and control how that information is shared with other users.
Claims17
A method, comprising:
- identifying, by a processing device using a registry that aggregates plural access points, one or more assets corresponding to a wireless access point associated with a mobile communication device;
- identifying, by the processing device, at least one communication device located remotely from the mobile communication device;
- displaying, by the processing device, one or more category types;
- receiving, by the processing device, a selection by a person of at least one category type from the one or more category types;
- generating, by the processing device, a graphical user interface listing options for selecting from a collection of the previously-identified assets associated with the at least one category type of the one or more category types, wherein the processing device displays the generated graphical user interface in response to the selection by the person of the at least one category type;
- in the case that a plural-asset selection by the person is received in response to display of the graphical user interface, wherein the plural-asset user selection comprises a request by the person to assign a first label to a first asset of the collection of previously-identified assets and a second label to a second asset of the collection of previously-identified assets, aggregating, by the processing device, the first and second assets;
- generating display information comprising an aggregated label associated with the first and second assets;
- and
- transmitting, by the processing device, the display information to the at least one communication device located remotely from the mobile communication device.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that when executed by one or more computing devices, cause the one or more computing devices to:
- identify using a registry that aggregates plural access points one or more assets corresponding to a wireless access point associated with a mobile communication device;
- identify at least one communication device located remotely from the mobile communication device;
- display one or more category types;
- identify a selection by a person of at least one category type from the one or more category types;
- generate a graphical user interface listing options for selecting from a collection of the previously-identified assets associated with the at least one category type of the one or more category types, wherein the processing device displays the generated graphical user interface in response to the selection by the person of the at least one category type;
- in the case that a plural-asset selection by the person is received in response to display of the graphical user interface, wherein the plural-asset user selection comprises a request by the person to assign a first label to a first asset of the collection of previously-identified assets and a second label to a second asset of the collection of previously-identified assets, aggregate the first and second assets;
- generate display information comprising an aggregated label associated with the first and second assets;
- and
- transmit the display information to the at least one communication device located remotely from the mobile communication device.
6 more elements
A system, comprising:
- a memory device to store instructions;
- and
- one or more processing devices to execute the instructions stored in the memory device to:
- identify using a registry that aggregates plural access points one or more assets corresponding to a wireless access point associated with a mobile communication device;
- identify at least one communication device located remotely from the mobile communication device;
- display one or more category types;
- identify a selection by a person of at least one category type from the one or more category types;
- generate a graphical user interface listing options for selecting from a collection of the previously-identified assets associated with the at least one category type of the one or more category types, wherein the processing device displays the generated graphical user interface in response to the selection by the person of the at least one category type;
- in the case that a plural-asset selection by the person is received in response to display of the graphical user interface, wherein the plural-asset selection by the person comprises a request by the person to assign a first label to a first asset of the collection of previously-identified assets and a second label to a second asset of the collection of previously-identified assets, aggregate the first and second assets;
- generate display information comprising an aggregated label associated with the first and second assets;
- and
- transmit the display information to the at least one communication device located remotely from the mobile communication device.
