Systems and methods for generating called device location based on cell sector information

A system for generating location data for a mobile device, comprising:

• a server, communicating with a wireless interface to a called mobile device, the server being configured to:
• initiate a voice call from a calling device to the called mobile device,
• receive a request from the calling device to capture location data of the called mobile device,
• initiate a paging process to locate the called mobile device via a called device service provider,
• identify a cell sector location for the called mobile device based on a paging response of the called mobile device via the called device service provider,
• generate called device location data for the called mobile device based on the cell sector location identified via the called device service provider, and
• transmit the called device location data to the calling device.

A system for generating location data for a mobile device, comprising:

• means for serving data to a called mobile device, the means for serving data being configured to:
• initiate a voice call from a means for calling to the called mobile device,
• receive a request from the means for calling to capture location data of the called mobile device,
• initiate a paging process to locate the called mobile device via a called device service provider,
• identify a cell sector location for the called mobile device based on a paging response of the called mobile device via the called device service provider,
• generate called device location data for the called mobile device based on the cell sector location identified via the called device service provider, and
• transmit the called device location data to the means for calling.

A computer program product, comprising:

• computer-readable medium comprising:
• at least one instruction for causing a computer to initiate a voice call from a calling device to a called mobile device;
• at least one instruction for causing a computer to receive a request from the calling device to capture location data of the called mobile device;
• at least one instruction for causing a computer to initiate a paging process to locate the called mobile device via a called device service provider;
• at least one instruction for causing a computer to identify a cell sector location for the called mobile device based on a paging response of the called mobile device via the called device service provider;
• at least one instruction for causing a computer to generate called device location data for the called mobile device based on the cell sector location identified via the called device service provider;
• and
• at least one instruction for causing a computer to transmit the called device location data to the calling device.

A method of receiving location information for a called device, comprising;

• initiating a voice call to a called mobile device serviced by a called device service provider;
• generating a request to capture location data of the called mobile device;
• initiating a paging process to locate the called mobile device via the called device service provider;
• and
• receiving called device location data for the called mobile device based on a cell sector location identified via the paging process of the called device service provider.

A communications device, comprising:

• an interface to a called device service provider;
• and
• a processor, communicating with the interface, the processor being configured to:
• initiate a voice call to a called mobile device serviced by the called device service provider,
• generate a request to capture location data of the called mobile device,
• initiate a paging process to locate the called mobile device via the called device service provider, and
• receive called device location data for the called mobile device based on a cell sector location identified via the paging process of the called device service provider.

A communications device, comprising:

• means to provide an interface to a called device service provider;
• and
• means for processing, communicating with the interface, the means for processing being configured to:

• generate a request to capture location data of the called mobile device,
• initiate a paging process to locate the called mobile device via the called device service provider, and
• receive called device location data for the called mobile device based on a cell sector location identified via the paging process of the called device service provider.

A computer program product, comprising:

• computer-readable medium, the computer-readable medium being configured to program a communications device, comprising:
• at least one instruction for causing a computer to initiate a voice call to a called mobile device serviced by a called device service provider;
• at least one instruction for causing a computer to generate a request to capture location data of the called mobile device;
• at least one instruction for causing a computer to initiate a paging process to locate the called mobile device via the called device service provider;
• and
• at least one instruction for causing a computer to receive called device location data for the called mobile device based on a cell sector location identified via the paging process of the called device service provider.
