The example method may also include determining whether there is user preference information and user location information included in the request. The information may be used to limit the amount of search results to increase relevancy. The method may also include searching a database for at least one dealer based on the user preference information and the user location information, and transferring the at least one dealer information to the user.

Abstract: A system and method for recovering from a failure during the position tracking of an RF-transmitting device includes tracking the position of the radio frequency (RF) transmitting device based on RF signals emitted by the RF-transmitting device. If the tracking loses the position of the RF-transmitting device, new phase difference data are calculated from the RF signals transmitted by the RF-transmitting device and received at four or more antennas. A subset of candidate position solutions for evaluation is identified based on the new phase difference data. One or more of the candidate position solutions in the subset is evaluated to find an acceptable position solution. The tracking of the position of the RF-transmitting device resumes using the acceptable position solution.
