Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes establishing a communication session between a first device and a second device. The first device is a mobile computing device. The location of the first device is received at the second device. The location of the first device is displayed on a graphical user interface of the second device during the communication session.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- establishing a communication session between a first device and a second device, wherein the first device is a mobile computing device;
- receiving a request to provide location information associated with the first device;
- determining, using a processor, a location of the first device;
- and
- communicating, using the processor, the location of the first device to the second device, wherein a graphical user interface of the second device displays one or more messages exchanged between the first device and the second device in a message pane while displaying the location of the first device in an image pane during the communication session.
