Method and apparatus for providing user adaptive service

A method performed by a second device, the method comprising:

• transmitting, to a server, second identification information of the second device for registering the second device in the server;
• receiving, from a first device, advertised first identification information;
• transmitting, to the server, the advertised first identification information;
• receiving, from the server, a message requesting a location of the first device, in response to a request to the server for the location of the first device identified based on the first identification information;
• and
• transmitting, to the server, the location in response to the message requesting the location,
• wherein a location is mapped to a current location of the second device when the second device transmits the location to the server, and
• wherein the location is identified by a user using a web page or an application.

A method performed by a server, the method comprising:

• storing first identification information of a first device, and second identification information of a second device;
• receiving, from the second device, the first identification information;
• identifying whether the first device identified based on the first identification information is lost;
• transmitting, to the second device, a message requesting a location of the first device, in response to a request to the server for the location of the first device identified based on the first identification information;
• mapping the location to a current location of the second device when the server receives the location from the second device;
• and
• receiving, from the second device, the location in response to the message requesting the location,
• wherein the location is identified by a user using a web page or an application.

A first device comprising:

• a transceiver;
• and
• a controller configured to:
• transmit, from the first device to a server, first identification information of the first device for registering the first device in the server, and
• advertise, by the first device, the first identification information of the first device,
• wherein a location of the first device is mapped to a location at which a second device is located,
• wherein a message, requesting a location of the first device, is transmitted from the server to a second device, in response to a request to the server for the location of the first device identified based on the first identification information,
• wherein the location is transmitted from the second device to the server in response to the message requesting the location,
• wherein the location is mapped to a current location of the second device when the second device transmits the location to the server, and
• wherein the location is identified by a user using a web page or an application.

A second device comprising:

• a transceiver;
• and
• a controller configured to:
• transmit, to a server, second identification information of the second device for registering the second device in the server,
• receive, from a first device, advertised first identification information,
• transmit, to the server, the advertised first identification information,
• receive, from the server, a message for requesting a location of the first device, in response to a request to the server for the location of the first device identified based on the first identification information, and
• transmit, to the server, the location in response to the message requesting the location,
• wherein a location is mapped to a current location of the second device when the second device transmits the location to the server, and
• wherein the location is identified by a user using a web page or an application.

A server comprising:

• a transceiver;
• and
• a controller configured to:
• store first identification information of a first device, and second identification information of a second device,
• receive, from the second device, the first identification information,
• identify whether the first device identified based on the first identification information is lost,
• transmit, to the second device, a message requesting a location of the first device, in response to a request to the server for the location of the first device identified based on the first identification information,
• map the location to a current location of the second device when the server receives the location from the second device, and
• receive, from the second device, the location in response to the message requesting the location,
• wherein the location is identified by a user using a web page or an application.
