Abstract:
Embodiments relate to location determination of computing devices. An example system includes a processor configurable to identify, from a first device, a second device transmitting wireless signals to the first device. The processor is configurable to determine, from the first device, a signal level of the wireless signals received by the first device from the second device. The processor is configurable to identify, from the first device, a third device transmitting wireless signals to the second device. The processor is configurable to determine, from the first device, a signal level of the wireless signals received by the second device from the third device. The processor is configurable to derive a location status of the first device based on the identification of the second and third devices and the signal levels of the wireless signals received by the first and second devices from the second and third devices, respectively.

Claim (Index 4):
A method for determining a location of a computing device, the method comprising:\n establishing a communication channel between a processor and a first computing device; determining, by the processor via the communication channel, a current state of the first computing device, the current state of the first computing device being one of the following states:\n a charging state, the charging state being a state in which an energy source of the first computing device is connected to and/or being charged by an external energy source; or \n a non-charging state, the non-charging state being a state in which the energy source of the first computing device is not connected to and/or not being charged by the external energy source; \n identifying, by the processor via the communication channel, a second computing device, the second computing device being a computing device transmitting wireless signals directly to the first computing device; determining, by the processor via the communication channel, a current state of the second computing device, the current state of the second computing device being one of the following states:\n a charging state, the charging state being a state in which an energy source of the second computing device is connected to and/or being charged by an external energy source; or \n a non-charging state, the non-charging state being a state in which the energy source of the second computing device is not connected to and/or not being charged by the external energy source; \n determining, by the processor via the communication channel, a signal level of the wireless signals received by the first computing device from the second computing device; identifying, by the processor via the communication channel, a third computing device, the third computing device being a computing device transmitting wireless signals directly to the second computing device; determining, by the processor via the communication channel, a current state of the third computing device, the current state of the third computing device being one of the following states:\n a charging state, the charging state being a state in which an energy source of the third computing device is connected to and/or being charged by an external energy source; or \n a non-charging state, the non-charging state being a state in which the energy source of the third computing device is not connected to and/or not being charged by the external energy source; \n determining, by the processor via the communication channel, a signal level of the wireless signals received by the second computing device from the third computing device; deriving a location status of the first computing device based on at least the identification of the second and third computing devices, the current state of the first computing device, the current state of the second computing device, the current state of the third computing device, and the signal levels of the wireless signals received by the first and second computing devices from the second and third computing devices, respectively.
