WIRELESS DEVICE AND METHODS FOR USE IN A PAGING NETWORK
First Claim
1. A wireless device for locating at least one remote object including a handheld wireless communication device, the wireless device comprising:
- a user interface that generates a pairing signal in response to an indication from a user to pair the wireless device to at least one remote device and generates a first location request signal in response to a second indication from a user to locate the at least one remote device;
a short-range wireless transceiver, coupled to the user interface, that communicates RF signals to pair the wireless device to the at least one remote device and that transmits a first RF paging signal to the at least one remote device in response to the location request signal.
