First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of communicating with target units in a wireless network performed by a requesting unit, the method comprising:
- storing, by the requesting unit, identifying information of the requesting unit and a plurality of target units;
searching, by the requesting unit, to locate at least one of the plurality of target units, wherein the searching compares the identifying information with information received by the requesting unit from a user; and
calculating, by the requesting unit in real time during a communication, an amount of time left in the communication based on speed, direction and location of the at least one of the plurality of target units and the speed, the direction and the location of the requesting unit.

Abstract
Communication between a requesting unit and target units in a wireless network is disclosed. Searching is performed to locate target units by comparing identifying information with information received by the requesting unit from a user. Calculating, in real time during a communication, an amount of time left in the communication based on speed, direction and location of the target units and the speed, the direction and the location of the requesting unit may also be performed.

8. A method of communicating with target units in a wireless network performed by a target unit, the method comprising:
-
storing, by the target unit, identifying information of the target unit; receiving, by the target unit, information provided by a user of a requesting unit; comparing, by the target unit, the identifying information of the target unit with the information received from the user of the requesting unit to determine a match; providing, by the target unit, a notification to a user of the target unit of matching information received from the user of the requesting unit; initiating, by the target unit, a communication between the requesting unit and the target unit using at least one communication packet; and calculating, by the target unit, in real time during the communication an amount of time left in the communication based on speed, direction and location of the target unit and the speed, the direction and the location of the requesting unit. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
