1. A computer readable storage medium comprising computer executable instructions that when executed by a computing device cause said computing device to effectuate operations comprising:
- searching, by a first device, for a signal, the signal indicative of a status of a second device;
determining that the signal has not been detected within a first period; and
responsive to the determining that the signal has not been detected within the first period,determining a location of the first device, andtransmitting, at a first transmit power, an alert comprising the location to the second device, the first transmit power greater than a second transmit power of the first period.

Abstract
A group of low power transceiver devices may create a private wireless network. In a private communication network, each device may monitor neighboring devices and transmit a low power signal on a periodic basis. At any time, if a device breaks away from the private communication network, the device determines its location and then transmits its location to one or more devices in the group at a high transmit power level.

8. A mobile device comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory coupled with the processor, the memory having stored thereon executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising; searching for a signal, the signal indicative of a status of a first device; determining that the signal has not been detected within a first period; and responsive to the determining that the signal from the first device has not been detected within the first period, determining a location of the mobile device, and transmitting, at a first transmit power, an alert comprising the location to the first device, the first transmit power greater than a second transmit power of the first period. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
