Cell phone relative position indication on displayed map using GPS coordinates
First Claim
1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a first communication device that is operative to;
transmit a tracking request via supporting wireless network infrastructure to track position of a second communication device;
receive a tracking response via the supporting wireless network infrastructure, the tracking response including a position corresponding to the second communication device as determined by the supporting wireless network infrastructure; and
identify the position of the second communication device relative to the first communication device.

Abstract
A wireless terminal tracks a tracked wireless terminal and displays tracking information to a user. The tracking wireless terminal sends a tracking request for the tracked wireless terminal via a supporting wireless network infrastructure. When the tracking request is valid, the tracking wireless terminal receives a tracking response for the tracked wireless terminal. Based upon the tracking response, the tracking wireless terminal accesses a map segment corresponding to received location coordinates. The tracking wireless terminal determines a relative position of the location coordinates of the tracked wireless terminal with respect to the map segment. With this determination made, operation concludes with the tracking wireless terminal displaying the map segment and an icon on the map segment that represents the tracked wireless terminal. The icon representing the tracked wireless terminal is displayed at the relative position of the location coordinates of the tracked wireless terminal.
