Abstract:
1. A location method comprising the steps of: communicating data via a portable radio-frequency transceiver operable to communicate data with at least two associated, remote data communication devices operating under mutually distinct frequencies, wherein one communication frequency is associated with a cellular communications system access point associated with an active communication session and wherein a second communication frequency is associated with an extraterrestrial data communication system; receiving first location data specifying a location of the portable radio-frequency transceiver from a first of the remote data communication devices and determining second location data associated with a relative location of the portable radio-frequency transceiver to a second of the remote communication devices; generating, via a processor, a location indicator corresponding to a physical location of the portable radio-frequency device determined by a combination of the first and second location data; and generating, in accordance with at least one of the mutually distinct frequencies, a directional indicator corresponding to an orientation of the portable radio-frequency device in accordance with at least one of the mutually distinct frequencies.
