Abstract: In some implementations, wireless transceivers (“nodes”) can be located throughout a building. In some implementations, an originating mobile device can request the current location of a target mobile device. In some implementation, if a direct connection cannot be established between the originating mobile device and the target mobile device, the originating mobile device can send the location request to one or more nodes in the building. The nodes can relay the location request to the target mobile device. The target mobile device can determine the target mobile device's current location and send the current location of the target mobile device back to the originating mobile device through the nodes.

Abstract translation: 在一些实现中，无线收发器（“节点”）可以位于整个建筑物中。 在一些实现中，始发移动设备可以请求目标移动设备的当前位置。 在一些实现中，如果在始发移动设备和目标移动设备之间不能建立直接连接，则始发移动设备可以向建筑物中的一个或多个节点发送位置请求。 节点可以将定位请求中继到目标移动设备。 目标移动设备可以确定目标移动设备的当前位置，并且通过节点将目标移动设备的当前位置发送回始发移动设备。
