First Claim
1. A method of sharing, with one or more external mobile devices, a location of a first mobile device, which performs electronic communication with the one or more external mobile devices, the method comprising:
- transmitting, using at least one processor of the first mobile device, a first location information signal to at least one external mobile device;
receiving, using the at least one processor, a second location information signal from the at least one external mobile device in response to the first location information signal;
generating, using the at least one processor, a location share window, the location share window including visual display of location information of the first mobile device and the at least one external mobile device, based on the first and second location information signals;
measuring, using the at least one processor, a desired time lapse period from a reference time point;
deleting, using the at least one processor, the location share window when the measured time lapse period is greater than or equal to a first period, wherein the reference time point is a point in time when the location share window is created;
receiving, using the at least one processor, a specific information signal including distance information related to distances between the first mobile device and the at least one external mobile device and moving speed information related to each of the external mobile devices;
determining, using the at least one processor, moving speed information related to the first mobile device;
estimating, using the at least one processor, transportation type information corresponding to each external mobile device based on the moving speed information related to each of the external mobile devices and the first mobile device;
controlling, using the at least one processor, displaying of transportation type information visually in the location share window; and
transmitting, using the at least one processor, the received specific information signal including the moving speed information related to each of the external mobile devices and the moving speed information related to the first mobile device, to each of the at least one external mobile devices.

Abstract
A method of sharing, with one or more external devices, a location of a first device, includes transmitting a first location information signal to at least one external device; receiving a second location information signal from the at least one external device in response to the first location information signal; generating a location share window, the location share window including visual display of location information of the first device and the at least one external device, based on the first and second location information signals; measuring a desired time lapse period from a reference time point; and deleting the location share window when the measured time lapse period is greater than or equal to a first period, wherein the reference time point is a point in time when the location share window is created.
