LOCATION SWAPPING BETWEEN DEVICES IN PHYSICAL PROXIMITY

摘要

A location swapping application running on a first client device scans for location information broadcast by other client devices in proximity to the first client device, the first client device having current location information comprising first location coordinates and a first timestamp. The first client device receives shared location information from a second client device, the shared location information comprising second location coordinates and a second timestamp and compares the second timestamp to the first timestamp. If the location swapping application determines that the second timestamp is more recent than the first timestamp, the application updates the current location information to replace the first location coordinates with the second location coordinates.
