Abstract

According to one embodiment, a method comprises sending, from a first mobile device, a request including information associated with a mobile device of a friend of a user; receiving, in response to the request, a location of the mobile device of the friend of the user; and outputting a map generated based on the received location of the mobile device of the friend of the user.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method, comprising:
 sending, from a first mobile device, a request including information associated with a mobile device of a friend of a user;   receiving, in response to the request, a location of the mobile device of the friend of the user; and   outputting a map generated based on the received location of the mobile device of the friend of the user.   
     
     
         2 . A method as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the first mobile device is a mobile phone. 
     
     
         3 . A method as recited in  claim 1 , comprising outputting an estimated travel time. 
     
     
         4 . A method as recited in  claim 1 , comprising outputting an average travelling speed. 
     
     
         5 . A method as recited in  claim 1 , comprising outputting an elapsed travel time. 
     
     
         6 . A method as recited in  claim 1 , comprising:
 establishing a link with a global positioning service (GPS) system; and   transmitting geographical data to the GPS system, wherein the geographical data includes the location of the mobile device of the friend of the user and a first location of the first mobile device.   
     
     
         7 . A system, comprising:
 a first mobile device comprising a processor; and   a computer usable medium, the computer usable medium having computer usable program code embodied therewith, which when executed by the processor causes the processor to:
 send, from a first mobile device, a request including information associated with a mobile device of a friend of a user; 
 receive, in response to the request, a location of the mobile device of the friend of the user; and 
 output a map generated based on the received location of the mobile device of the friend of the user. 
   
     
     
         8 . A system as recited in  claim 7 , wherein the first mobile device is a mobile phone. 
     
     
         9 . A system as recited in  claim 7 , wherein the program code further causes the processor to output an estimated travel time. 
     
     
         10 . A system as recited in  claim 7 , wherein the program code further causes the processor to output an average travelling speed. 
     
     
         11 . A system as recited in  claim 7 , wherein the program code further causes the processor to output an elapsed travel time. 
     
     
         12 . A system as recited in  claim 7 , wherein the program code further causes the processor to:
 establish a link with a global positioning service (GPS) system; and   transmit geographical data to the GPS system, wherein the geographical data includes the location of the mobile device of the friend of the user and a first location of the first mobile device.
