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 1):
A method comprising the following acts performed by a data processing apparatus, which comprises or cooperates with a positioning server system configured to manage a database storing 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 receiving one or more alert messages from an alerting positioning device, wherein each alert message conveys identifying information of the alerting positioning device that sent the one or more alert messages; using the identifying information conveyed in the at least one alert message to retrieve from the database system a location estimate of the alerting positioning device; determining a first set of other positioning devices in a vicinity of the alerting positioning device; and sending an assist request message to each of the positioning devices in the first set of other positioning devices, wherein the assist request message indicates the location estimate of the alerting positioning device and/or said descriptive information on the user associated with the alerting positioning device.
