Abstract
A method of tagging a location using a mobile device entails obtaining position data for a current location of the mobile device, detecting a proximity of another device using a short-range wireless interface, and automatically storing the position data for the current location of the mobile device in response to the detecting of the proximity of the other device. The proximity detector may comprise a near field communication (NFC) interface, a Bluetooth® transceiver or another short-range wireless technology that may be employed to detect the proximity of another device. This technology enables two devices to store a current location to facilitate a subsequent rendezvous back at that same location.

7. A first mobile device for tagging a location, the mobile first device comprising:
-
a short-range wireless transceiver; a processor configured to interact with the short-range wireless transceiver to pair the first mobile device with a second mobile device; a position-determining subsystem for determining current location data for a current location of the first mobile device; and a memory that cooperates with the processor and position-determining subsystem to store the current location data for the current location of the first mobile device in response to the pairing. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions in code which when loaded into a memory and executed by a processor of a first mobile device causes the first mobile device to:
-
pair the first mobile device with a second mobile device; and store current location data for a current location of the first mobile device in response to the pairing. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
