Seek and find location method, system and apparatus
First Claim
1. A method performed in a seek and find radio frequency (RF) device for locating the seek and find RF device, comprising:
- receiving a first RF cell phone signal from a requesting party device, wherein the first RF cell phone signal includes at least a location query requesting location information of the seek and find RF device, wherein the location query is directed to the seek and find RF device using a mobile device identifier;
receiving at least three GPS satellite signals;
determining a location of the seek and find RF device based upon the at least three GPS satellite signals;
transmitting a second RF cell phone signal, wherein the second RF cell phone signal includes the determined location, and wherein the second RF cell phone signal is directed to the requesting party device using a device identifier uniquely associated with the requesting party device.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus for locating the seek and find RF device are provided. An exemplary embodiment of a seek and find RF device receives a first RF cell phone signal from a requesting party device, wherein the first RF cell phone signal includes at least a location query requesting location information of the seek and find RF device, and wherein the location query is directed to the seek and find RF device using a mobile device identifier. The seek and find RF device receives at least three GPS satellite signals and determines a location of the seek and find RF device based upon the at least three GPS satellite signals. The seek and find RF device then transmits a second RF cell phone signal, wherein the second RF cell phone signal includes the determined location, and wherein the second RF cell phone signal is directed to the requesting party device using a device identifier.
