Abstract
Methods, computer readable storage medium, and systems for mobile devices to locate persons or places are described. In a feature, the invention is a method implemented in a server for providing beaconing sequences to the mobile devices for location sharing. In a feature, the invention is a server executing a method of locating a user using a beaconing mobile device. In a feature, the invention is a non-transitory computer readable medium on a server that encodes a program to execute a method on a first mobile device that determine directions and/or distance between the first mobile device and a second mobile device. In a feature, the invention is a server executing a method to remember a place on a mobile device.
Claims22
A non-transitory computer readable medium that encodes a program to execute a method on a first mobile device for providing a beaconing sequence to a first mobile device that matches the beaconing sequence of a second mobile device so a first user of the first mobile device and a second user of the second mobile device can locate each other, comprising:
- displaying a share location screen to a first user;
- sending a message to a server that notifies a second mobile device;
- receiving a message with an assigned beacon sequence;
- and
- displaying the assigned beacon sequence on the first mobile device that matches the beacon sequence displayed on the second mobile device so that the first user can locate the second user in a geographic area.
A method executed on a first mobile device for providing a beaconing sequence to a first mobile device and a second mobile device in a geographic area so a first user of the first mobile device and a second user of the second mobile device can locate each other, comprising:
- displaying a share location screen to a first user;
- sending a message to a server that notifies a second mobile device;
- receiving a message with an assigned beacon sequence;
- and
- displaying the assigned beacon sequence on the first mobile device that matches the beacon sequence displayed on the second mobile device so that the first user can locate the second user.
