METHOD TO DETERMINE SEARCH AREA FOR A PERSON OF INTEREST BASED UPON PAST ROUTE INFORMATION FROM SEARCHERS

摘要

A method and server for determining the current location of a person of interest (POI) is provided. The server receives a first indication that a first searcher has identified a POI and requests first route information from the first searcher. Upon receiving the first route information from the first searcher, the server determines if second route information relating to the person of interest has been received from a second searcher. If so, the server determines a search area for the person of interest based at least in part upon the first route information and the second route information.
