Abstract:
This disclosure provides methods and systems for locating wireless mobile devices in an area, for example, using an unmanned aerial vehicle. An unmanned aerial vehicle may receive a wireless signal with identification information from a mobile device. The unmanned aerial vehicle may fly in wireless communication range with the mobile device; measuring, representative parameters related to the received wireless signal and associating the value of measured representative parameters with the mobile device identification and with the location of the unmanned aerial vehicle at the time the wireless signal was received and estimating, the location of the mobile device in the area based on the value of measured representative parameters and the location of the unmanned aerial vehicle at the time it received the wireless signal. The measurement of the representative parameters may be time-stamped and the location of the unmanned aerial vehicle at the time the wireless signal was received may be calculated based on the time stamp and flight information of the unmanned aerial vehicle.

Claim (Index 16):
The system of  claim 15  for locating mobile devices in an area, further comprising:\n a second unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) flying in wireless communication range with the mobile device; comprising: \n a GPS system; and \n wireless communication means able to receive and measure representative parameters of the wireless signal; and \n a memory storing software instructions; and \n a processor configured to execute the software instructions to perform operations including: \n measuring, by the second unmanned aerial vehicle, a representative parameter related to the wireless signal as received by second unmanned aerial vehicles; and \n associating, by the second unmanned aerial vehicle, the measured value of the representative parameter with the mobile device identification and with the location of the second unmanned aerial vehicle at the time the wireless signal was received; and \n wherein the first and second unmanned aerial vehicles are operative to establish communication with a computer, the computer separated from the unmanned aerial vehicles; and \n wherein the first and second unmanned aerial vehicles are operative to report to the computer, the mobile device identification, the associated measured values of the representative parameter and the associated location information of the respective unmanned aerial vehicle at the time the wireless signals were received; and \n wherein the computer is operative to estimate, the location of the mobile device in the area based on the first and second unmanned aerial vehicles reports.
