Apparatus and method for transmitting/identifying location based on local communication

A first location apparatus for identifying a location of a close object based on local communication, comprising:

• a location information calculating means for receiving a Global Positioning System (GPS) signal from a GPS satellite and calculating a location of the first location apparatus based on the GPS signal;
• own location transmitting means for transmitting a first signal directly to a second location apparatus via an ISM frequency band, wherein the second location apparatus is located within about three kilometers from the first location apparatus during the transmitting, and wherein the first signal comprises the location of the first location apparatus and recognition information of the first location apparatus;
• a counterpart location receiving means for receiving a second signal directly from the second location apparatus via the ISM frequency band;
• and
• a counterpart location identifying means for identifying a location of the second location apparatus based on the second signal,
• wherein the own location transmitting means transmits information corresponding to a location of the GPS satellite directly to the second location apparatus via the ISM frequency band, and wherein the second location apparatus uses the information corresponding to the location of the GPS satellite to receive a GPS signal from the GPS satellite.
