Abstract: A cellphone locator for finding a misplaced or lost cellphone or other personal electronic device emits an audible signal or alert when the cellphone has been stationary longer than a period of time typical for normal use. Location is sensed from a GPS, accelerometer or similar locating capability to indicate if the cellphone has remained stationary and unmoved for a predetermined time interval, as when a cellphone cannot be found by the user. Upon an elapsed interval of stationary usage, a beep or buzzing sound independent of a silent mode setting of the cellphone is initiated. The independent audible signal identifies the location even when the user has disabled a ringer function on the cellphone that would prevent locating the cellphone via an incoming call for identifying the location.
