ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein is a system and method for notifying a person that they have become separated from their mobile communication device. A comparison between location information for the device and presence information for the person is used to determine whether or not a separation exists. Certain corrective actions are possible in order to mitigate the consequences of the separation. A separation may be allowed to exist within a certain maximum allowable distance of separation without the system or method notifying the person.
