Abstract
Implementations relate to systems and methods for location assistance using devices () in a personal area network (PAN). In one scenario, a user may use two separate location-enabled devices, such as a wearable personal device () and a cellular telephone device (). In cases, one of those devices may have reached a higher or farther-developed state in terms of generating or storing location information () for the user's current position, as compared to the opposite device. This can take place, for instance, when the first (e.g. wearable) device () is first turned on. The two devices use platforms and techniques to exchange location information and carry out GPS or other operations to furnish the device that is lagging in position processing progress with assistance which will speed up or otherwise enhance the position fix for that device.
