1. A computing device comprising:
- a processor module configured to;
receive identification information of a first movable device and a second movable device;
receive, from one of a processor module and the second movable device, an instruction to monitor a position of the first movable device;
in response to receiving the instruction;
determine a position of the first movable device;
determine whether the position of the first movable device is one of a predetermined location and distance from the second movable device; and
control communication with the second movable device in response to determining that the position of the first movable device is the one of the predetermined location and distance from the second movable device.

Abstract
According to an aspect, a computing device may include a processor configured to determine a position coordinate of a first movable device. Further, the processor is configured to determine whether the position coordinate of the first movable device is a predetermined distance from a second movable device. The processor is also configured to signal the second movable device in response to determining that the position coordinate of the first movable device is a predetermined distance from a second movable device.
