Abstract

A system and method for conducting a search for a search subject. The system and method includes receiving a request to initiate a search for a search subject having an associated mobile device, the mobile device having a mobile telephone number. A search record is created and associated with the mobile telephone number and the location information is forwarded to one or more search agencies. The method includes communicating with the search subject and obtaining search information for the search subject; and communicating the search to the one or more search agencies.

Abstract

A processor enabled method in a mobile device includes configuring a WiFi radio controller of the mobile device with a WiFi service set identifier of a search detector and configuring a Bluetooth connection configuration of a search detector. The method also includes responsive to a rescue trigger, enabling the device to exit a low power mode while awaiting a connection attempt from a Bluetooth radio via the configured Bluetooth connection configuration. The method also includes upon receiving the connection attempt, powering up the WiFi radio and attempting to connect to the configured WiFi service set identifier.

Abstract

A beacon detection system which can locate a missing search subject includes: a beacon signal receiver; a location position detector; and a beacon detector. The detector is configured to detect a location of a broadcasting beacon signal associated with a personal device of a search subject within search data covering a geographic search area derived from a search for the search subject, the search data gathered by the beacon signal receiver and location position detector. A computer implemented method of determining a location of a search subject is also provided. The method determines at least a possible connection request from Wi-Fi signals in search data gathered by a Wi-Fi radio covering a geographic search area for a search subject and associated location information to locate the search subject.
