Abstract

A memory stores a list of identifiers. A processor receives a notification from a card user indicating that the card user is missing a card. The card includes a transmitter configured to broadcast a transmission including a card identifier. The processor adds the card identifier to the list of identifiers. The processor receives messages from mobile devices that received the transmission, including the card identifier from the transmission and locations of the mobile devices. In response to receiving the messages, the processor determines that the list of identifiers contains the card identifier. The processor further determines, based on the locations of the mobile devices, a location of the card and sends the location of the card to a mobile device of the card user.
