Abstract
A system and method for locating objects uses a wireless communication interface for performing searches for specified objects. Initially, a location request for a specified device is transmitted via a local wireless interface, such as a Bluetooth.TM. radio interface, by a request origination device. A separate device receives the location request, either directly or via one or more other devices that use the local wireless interface, and forwards the location request via the local wireless interface. When the separate device receives a response to the forwarded location request from the specified device, the separate device sends a message to the request origination device that includes information relating to a location of the specified device.
