Augmented device retrieval assistance

A computer program product for displaying an image of a possible location of a device mapped onto a time-spatial axis comprising:

• one or more computer-readable storage media, and program instructions stored on the one or more computer-readable storage media, the program instructions comprising:
• program instructions to add identification information of a device to an initialized augmented device retrieval assistance (ADRA) data structure, based on registration information of the device;
• program instructions to receive data from one or more ADRA clients monitoring the device within a location, including a network connection status and a time-based position of the device;
• program instructions to update the ADRA data structure with the location, a position of the device, and a timeframe of the data from the monitoring by the one or more ADRA clients;
• program instructions to receive a request for augmented device retrieval assistance, wherein the request includes an identification of a target device, the timeframe, and identification of a location;
• program instructions to generate one or more location images respectively including a location layout and a position of the target device at a designated timeframe;
• and
• program instructions to send a display-enabled rendering of a time-spatial axis including one or more location images and target device position within respective images, the location images associated with a specific timeframe on the time-spatial axis on a space-time visualization interface.
