Claim 12:
13. A computer program product comprises a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, wherein the computer readable storage medium is not a transitory signal per se, the program instructions executable by a computer to cause the computer to:
receive, by the computer, a selection by at least one user of at least one user path device to intersect with a moving target, wherein the moving target is identified by a particular entity identifier that is not a fixed address;
detect, by the computer, broadcasts of one or more monitored locations within a network environment, each identified by a separate entity identifier of a plurality of entity identifiers;
read, by the computer, a plurality of locations from broadcasts of the one or more monitored locations by a navigation device, the navigation device carried by the moving target identified by the particular entity identifier and using a location detecting system to determine and track a current location, a current time, and a direction of movement of the navigation device, the navigation device broadcasting the current location, the current time, and the direction of movement;
access, by the computer, a path of the plurality of locations of the moving target monitored by the navigation device;
predict, by the computer, based on the path of the plurality of locations and based on at least one context record, one or more future locations of the moving target;
calculate, by the computer, at least one optimized course for the at least one user to follow to intersect with the moving target at the one or more future locations; and
output, by the computer, the at least one optimized course to a display interface of the at least one user path device accessible to the at least one user for directing the user to navigate from a starting point to at least one of the one or more future locations.
