摘要： Systems, methods, devices and computer-readable storage mediums are disclosed for managing location sharing requests. In various implementations, a requesting device or a server computer in communication with the requesting device, receives a location sharing request associated with a user and, in response, sends a notification to a companion device associated with the user. A location of the companion device is received from the companion device together with a list of one or more devices associated with the user that are paired with the companion device and a connection status for at least one of the one or more paired devices. The connection status indicates if there is a direct communication link established between the paired device and the companion device. A notification is sent to each disconnected paired device based on the connection status. Each disconnected device that is worn or carried by the user responds with their location.

摘要： Methods, non-transitory machine-readable mediums, and system to provide location services are described. In an embodiment, a method provides receiving, at a delegate server, authentication credentials from a sub-delegate of a delegate entity, determining at least one locator service for a wireless accessory device accessible to the sub-delegate with the received authentication credentials, receiving a request for the at least one locator service from the sub-delegate, evaluating a set of inputs to determine if a set of conditions corresponding to the at least one locator service and the sub-delegate are satisfied, upon determination that the set of conditions are satisfied, sending the request for the at least one locator service to a device locator server, and decrypting a response to the request received from the device locator server using encryption keys stored for the delegate entity.
