Abstract
As part of a handset finder service, a customer will download and install a small application, e.g., handset finder application, onto their wireless device. The first time this handset finder application runs, it registers to receive battery notification events from the device (or if not available, another type of wake-up event, like a timer or SMS wake-up). These events wake-up the application, which will determine whether a “low power” threshold has been reached. When this occurs, the application initiates a location query. The application will submit a determined location to a handset finder server.
