Determining location based on nearby devices

Abstract:

A method for determining location based on nearby devices includes receiving a broadcast message from a proximate device over a wireless personal area network, triggering an event that requires recording location data and time data, and establishing a connection over the wireless personal area network to the proximate device. The method further includes requesting proximate location data from the proximate device over the connection with a user device location request and receiving the proximate location data from the proximate device in a proximate device location response.
