Creating a Communication Group
First Claim
1. A mobile device, comprising:
- a display device configured to display a user interface;
a processing system implemented at least partially in hardware and configured to execute one or more modules implemented to perform operations comprising to;
receive a selection to enable communication of location information between devices that correspond to one or more entities from a group of entities associated with a user of the mobile device;
receive location information that describes a physical location or proximity of the devices that correspond to the one or more entities; and
present in the user interface on the display device, a visual representation that indicates at least one of the one or more entities is at a location within a pre-set distance of the mobile device.

Abstract
In implementations of creating a communication group, a mobile device can receive a selection to enable communication of location information between devices that correspond to entities from a group of entities associated with a user of the mobile device. The mobile device can receive location information that describes a physical location or proximity of the devices that correspond to the entities, and present in a user interface on a display device, a visual representation that indicates at least one of the entities is at a location within a pre-set distance of the mobile device. A communication group can be created that includes the entities selected from the group of entities associated with the user of the mobile device. The mobile device can also communicate the location information of the mobile device to all of the devices that correspond to the entities as a group communication based on the communication group.
