  • Patent number: 9198002
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide peer-to-peer communication of device movements. A first computing device receives a message from a second computing device via a peer-to-peer connection. If the message does not include movement information, the first computing device requests from the second computing device the movement information describing travel of the second computing device. Upon receipt of the movement information over the peer-to-peer connection, the first computing device presents the received message and the received movement information to a user of the first computing device. The movement information may include route, velocity, heading and an estimated time of arrival, and may be periodically updated via additional messages sent to the first computing device. In some embodiments, the first computing device and the second computing device are configured to automatically send and receive movement information without user input.
