`
`BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
`
`line uivention rclatcs to systems and methods for detcr-
`niinina a device's location More particularly. this invention
`relates to systems and methods for remotely determining a
`device's location
`The Cilobal Positioning System (CiPS) has been devel-
`oped ui which a ground-based system can rcccne GPS
`signals from satellites and determine its location based on
`the time that it takes the GPS signals 10 nuIcll tile gtoulld-
`based system. (Ienerally, three satellite signals are needed to
`detcrmuie where in thc world a rcceivcr is loca(cd (I.c.,
`position triangulation)
`(JPS systems have been integrated into cellular phones.
`However, these systems are deticient because the location of
`a device that is determined by these CiPS signals are only
`nnmmally utilizixl. 11 is therclorc desirable to provide sys-
`tems mid methods which better utilize Ihc ufibmiation about
`a device's location
`
`SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
`
`In accordance with thc prcscnt invennon, systems and
`niethods are pmvided for locating cellular phones More
`invention pn&vides systems and
`the present
`particularly.
`metlu&ds for allowing a user of a cellular phone (e.g. a
`requestin user or a requestor) to locate the position of a
`difli:rmit user's cellular phone (e... d requested user) based
`upoti rcxtucstol-assi gilcd ili cess nglts.
`One object of the prcscnt invention is to provule a security
`feature which allows a user to limit and/or deny location
`access to a particular user. In preferred embodiments. Oifiy
`the users that have been granted access to the location of a
`user's cellular phone can actually locate that user*s celluLar
`phone. Furthermore, ihlfi:rent types uf access lcvcls may be
`provided that allow n user to filter location information to a
`illfiblclit IISCI. Ill tlllS lllaill&CO II CCII pili&1&C IISiz llldV glvC
`access, thmugh his or her cell phone. to a friend so that the
`friend can locate hint or her dependent on the level nf access
`that is gmsnted to that friend.
`For exaniple, suppose that Phil tells Bill that he will be
`shoppuig in Manhauau and that Bill should locate him when
`Bfil gcm io Manhattan through their cell phones. In such an
`example. Phil may grnnt Bill access thc exact locanon of lus
`cell phone for a specific period of time (e.g . the next tv o
`hours). As a result. when Ihll tries to access Phil'
`location,
`Bill will be told exactly v here in Manhntmn Phil*a cell
`phone is located. Thus. Bill does not have to contact Phil
`directly to see whcrc he is and. therefore, Pint docs not have
`to spend miy tune giving Bill verbal dirimtions, Bill can
`simply sce wlrdt store Phil is currently ui and go to it.
`As mentioned previously, levels in the scope of access
`niay be controlled by a user such that, for example: only a
`
`user's exact locauon, dpproxunate locauou. city, suite, or
`country can be accessed by a particular user
`I,ocation alerts and nionitoring features are also provided
`1 &or example. Phil nmy ive .Ien. a resident of Pittsbur h. city
`access so that &shen Phil travels into Pittsburgh. Jen will be
`alerted of Phil*a presence. Such an alert may take the fomi
`ot; for example. a display on Jcn's cell phone that commu-
`nicatcs to Jcn '*Plul is in Pittsburgh."
`I,nesting a cellular phone niay be accomplished in several
`in ways For example. satellite positioning systems such as the
`Cilobal Positional System and the soon to be deployed
`Cialileo system may be used to locate a user*a cell phone.
`User positions and security settings may be regularly or
`lo a remote system, such a remote
`manually tninsnuttcst
`database so that requestuig users can locate a rcqucstcxt
`user's position even if the requested user turns his/her cell
`phone Ol'F PL&cing the security measures on a remote
`system (e.g, remnte database, coniputer, or server) pmvides
`an infomiation brokering scheme such that the system is still
`zo operable even ivhen cell phones are added, removed. or
`IllodlllCd frolll tllC SVS(CIII.
`Additionally. thc present im mition may bc configured to
`pmvide additinnal information about the location of a user
`Such additional information may be. fi&r exaniple, a map. a
`location marker nn a niap. a map that changes as the user
`moves. a compass, coordinates of the located cell phone,
`directions to the h&cated cell phone. v here a user is in
`relation to another user. and infomintion about thc location
`thc loca(cd user is currently positioned in or nearby locations
`so such as landmarks. Such information may be provided by a
`remnte information provider(e .. a remote n&ap information
`pmvider) and accessed by an information broker through a
`conununications net&york.
`Many other features are also employed that realizes
`&I advantageous locatmg lunctionality. As per an example,
`suppose that a wifb vents to scc if her husband has lef1 w urk
`yct. She can locate her husbmid. without having to talk to
`him, and realize that he is driving honte on a highway. 'I'hus,
`a tm&vel time optinn may be provided to the user 'I'his option
`do would compute the distance between the ss ife*s location and
`husband's location by taking multiple location readings of
`thc husband's locanon to scm how fast
`thc husband is
`traveling. Altcrnauvely. bccnusc the husbmid's position will
`llliip lo II lllgllwaV, 111C SVS(ctli Illa&'SSUII&C that 111C USCI is
`driving and may pmvide the wife with an estimate on the
`husband's arrival time based on an assumed route. In this
`manner, the present invention may determine how much
`time it will take the husband to reach the wife and display
`tlus infi&nnalion to thc wile.
`As pcr other cximiples. a "sec my lbmnds" opnon may
`also bc provided (liat bnngs up a map of a dcsircd arcs. Duts
`or symbols inay be present on the map to signify the location
`of all user's from &vhich the requesting user has location
`information for. SimiL&rly. a "find closest friend** option may
`&1 be employed which finds the closest user v ith which the
`rcqilcsllllg riser llas locdtloi& Iicccss to
`A cell phone location may by accessed by a vanety of
`other devices. Altcrnativcly, a cell phone may be used to
`access the location of a variety of other devices
`
`o
`
`the internet and access a remote database to either provide
`the most recent location information about the husband*s
`cell phone to hcr or rcqucst a location update Irom the
`husband's cell phone. The wifids location may bc already
`ss stored in such a datnbase by associaung thc location to the
`IP address of the computer or by a manual input of the wife'
`'Ihe &vife's identity may be determined by,
`location.

`above-identified security measures are not limited to device-
`to-dcvicc locating ruther user to user locdling, Ihc wife may
`only access the lnisband's location if the lnisband has
`granted access for the wife lo do so. If, by accident, thc
`wife's cell phone breaks, she may login on a friend's cell
`phone and determine the husband's location according to the
`device that the lnisband Is logged into
`Security is preferably taken into account in the present
`invention and, therefore, locauon rights fiir a spccilic user
`may be given to a different user only by that specific user.
`How cvcr, a user may rcqucsi localiun access rights from a
`ditferent user. Ilor exaniple, a user may be pnivided ivith a
`request location scrcmi on hm cell phime and tlxit user (c g.,
`user "X") may enter in the cell phone nmnber of the cell
`phone whose location Is desired. The user associated to the
`entered cell phone munber may then receive an alert that
`says "user X has requested access to your location." Loca-
`uon access may then bc given or denied on multiple levels
`and the requesting user notified of the decision.

`requesting user may user other means (e.g „ the internet) to
`request the location of the desired user
`Persons skilled In the art will appreciate that the location
`of a user*a cell phone may be retrieved, in step 208, from a
`renlote database. facility. distribution center. or any orher
`sv'steat. More particularly, a rcmolc database may pcnodi-
`cally request Ihc location of a cell phone user with a
`positioniim system and store this inforination. 1'his database
`may also keep a record of those people allnwed to access
`that user's location, the extent to which access is allnwed,
`to winch a user has requesred a user*a
`and the extent
`location. A user may update. add, manipuLsre. or remove
`access at any umc by doing so al
`this database. Thus, a
`rcxfucsting user only has to contact lhe remote database, have
`his/her identity recognized, have his/her access rights tiir the
`requested user location determined, and, if the requesting
`user has the correct access rights, be pnivided with the
`requested user's location.
`Instead of a remote database periodically obminiilg loca-
`uon infiinnalion for a user, the database can obtain a user's
`locations wlu:n a rcqucst is made for that user's location,
`pmviding the requesting user has access tn the requested
`user's Incation 1lowever. persons skilled in the art will
`recognize that a remote database is utilized in the above
`examples that contains the locations. in most circumsmnces,
`of a nndtitude of users. Thus. to increase security even more,
`a rcqucsting user's cell phone may directly request a user's
`locaiion Ibom the rcqucslcd user*a ceil phone wilhoul the
`ncmd for a database
`In such an cximiple a user adds,
`nlanipulates, or removes access rights locally on his,'her cell
`phone and does not have to worry about security issues that
`surround pLscing his location on a remote database. Further-
`more. in such an embodunent a user* s location does not have
