Methods for location of persons with electronic wearables
First Claim
1. A method implemented in a server for providing a unique beaconing sequence to an electronic wearable and a mobile device in a geographic area so a user of the electronic wearable and a user of the mobile device can locate each other, comprising:
- receiving a request from the mobile device;
reading the request;
reading a beacon history table in response to the request read;
in response to the reading, determining if there are beacon sequences used in the geographic area;
in response to the determining, calculating a unique beacon sequence not used in the geographic area;
adding the unique beacon sequence to the beacon history table; and
sending the unique beacon sequence for display on the electronic wearable and the mobile device, wherein the displayed unique beacon sequence is conspicuous and can be seen by the user of the electronic wearable and the user of the mobile device in the geographic area so that the user of the electronic wearable and the user of the mobile device can locate each other.

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.
