Abstract:
A method for a positioning server configured to locate positioning devices and to maintain information on users, who are associated with respective positioning devices. The server receives one or more alert messages from an alerting positioning device. Each alert message conveys identifying information of the alerting positioning device. The server uses the identifying information to retrieve a location estimate of the alerting positioning device. The server forms a first set of other positioning devices in a vicinity of the alerting positioning device and sends an assist request message to the positioning devices in the first set. The assist request message indicates the location estimate of the alerting positioning device and/or said descriptive information.

Claim (Index 6):
An apparatus, wherein the apparatus comprises or cooperates with a positioning server system configured to track a respective location estimate for each of several positioning devices and to maintain descriptive information on each of several users, each of whom is associated with a respective positioning device;\n wherein the apparatus further comprises:\n a memory system for storing program instructions; \n a processing system for executing the program instructions; \n a database system for storing the respective location estimates for the set of positioning devices; \n an alert signal reception system for receiving at least one alert message from one or more of alerting positioning devices, wherein each alert message conveys identifying information of the alerting positioning device that sent the alert message; \n wherein the apparatus is configured to:\n use the identifying information conveyed in the at least one alert message to retrieve from the database system the location estimate for the one or more alerting positioning device; \n determine a first set of other positioning devices in a vicinity of the at least one alerting positioning device and to send an assist request message to each of the positioning devices in the first set of other positioning devices.
