Abstract

A method of trace-position including following steps is provided. A tracing message is transferred to a second electronic device having a positioning function from a first electronic device, wherein the tracing message has a verifying code. The verifying code is verified by the second electronic device. The second electronic device enables the positioning function to generate positioned information and transfer the positioned information to the first electronic device if the verifying code is correct. Furthermore, the positioning function is disabled if the verifying code is incorrect. In addition, a system of trace-position is provided.

Claims

1. A method of trace-position comprising:

transferring a tracing message from a first electronic device to a second electronic device having positioning function, wherein said tracing message has a verifying code;

receiving and verifying said tracing message at said second electronic device;

enabling positioning function to generate said positioned information by said second electronic device when said verifying code is correct; and

transferring said positioned information to said first electronic device.

2. The method of trace-position of claim 1, wherein disabling said positioning function when said verifying code is incorrect.

3. The method of trace-position of claim 1, wherein disabled positioning function further comprises a step of transferring an error message to said first electronic device.

4. The method of trace-position of claim 1, wherein said tracing message is a short message service (SMS) or a multimedia message service (MMS).

5. The method of trace-position of claim 1, wherein said verifying code comprises words, numbers or symbols.

6. The method of trace-position of claim 1, wherein said verifying code is selected from at least two components of the group consisting of words, numbers and symbols.

7. The method of trace-position of claim 1, wherein said positioned information comprises coordinates.

8. The method of trace-position of claim 1, wherein said positioned information comprises images.

9. The method of trace-position of claim 1, wherein said positioned information comprises descriptive words.

10. The method of trace-position of claim 1, wherein said first electronic device comprises mobile electronic device.

11. The method of trace-position of claim 1, wherein said second electronic device comprises mobile electronic device.

12. A system of trace-position comprises:

a first electronic device having a first transferring module and a first receiving module, wherein said first transferring module is capable of transferring a tracing message having a verifying code; and

a second electronic device having a second transferring module, a second receiving module, a password verifying module and a global positioning system module, wherein said second receiving module is coupled to said password verifying module, said password verifying module is coupled to said global positioning system module, said global positioning system module is coupled to said second transferring module, and wherein said second receiving module is capable of receiving said tracing message, said password verifying module is capable of verifying said verifying code, said global positioning system module is capable of generating positioned information, said second transferring module is capable of transferring said positioned information to said first electronic device, and said first receiving module is capable of receiving said positioned information.

13. The system of trace-position of claim 12, wherein said tracing message is short message service (SMS) or multi message service (MMS).

14. The system of trace-position of claim 12, wherein said verifying code comprises words, numbers or symbols.

15. The system of trace-position of claim 12, wherein said verifying code is selected from at least two components of the group consisting of words, numbers and symbols.

16. The system of trace-position of claim 12, wherein said positioned information comprises coordinates or images.

17. The system of trace-position of claim 12, wherein said positioned information comprises descriptive words.

18. The system of trace-position of claim 12, wherein said first electronic device comprises mobile electronic device.

19. The system of trace-position of claim 12, wherein said second electronic device comprises mobile electronic device
