Abstract

See full text

A system includes a location tracking services server (LTSS) in communication with a location owner device. A tracking packet is sent from the location owner device to the LTSS. The tracking packet includes a unique transaction identifier that uniquely identifies the tracking packet as being associated with a transaction between the location owner and a location consumer. The LTSS sends to the location owner device a link that points to the tracking packet. The location owner device uses the link to send to the LTSS information (e.g., a GPS ID) that uniquely identifies a device associated with a location provider selected to fulfill the transaction. This information is used to update the tracking packet. The LTSS provides access for a temporary period defined by the tracking packet to location data that enables the location consumer device to display the geographical location of the device associated with the selected location provider.
