Abstract
A mobile device comprises host logic and a first transceiver coupled to the host logic. The first transceiver is adapted to wirelessly communicate with a second transceiver. The second transceiver is positioned at a fixed location and comprises location information indicative of such fixed location. The first transceiver transmits wireless beacon signals. When the second transceiver is within range of the first transceiver, the beacon signal automatically causes the second transceiver to transmit the location information to the first transceiver.
