1. A method of tracking a location of a movable device including a wireless interface for interaction with a wireless mobile device of a user, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving, by the movable device, an input from the user;
computationally executing an agent program on the movable device, the agent program detecting the user wireless device via the wireless interface;
interrogating, by the agent program via the wireless interface, the user wireless device for local GPS coordinates obtained by a GPS chipset of the user wireless device;
reporting the local GPS coordinates as a location of the movable device; and
storing the reported location in a location database of movable devices.

7. A movable electronic device configured for interaction with users, the movable electronic device comprising:
-
a wireless interface for interaction with a wireless mobile device of a user; an input device for receiving input from the user; a processor; a computer memory storing agent instructions for execution by the processor, the agent instructions, when executed, causing the movable device to; detect the user wireless device via the wireless interface; interrogate the user wireless device via the wireless interface for local GPS coordinates obtained by a GPS chipset of the user wireless device; and electronically communicate the local GPS coordinates for storage in a location database of movable devices. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
