Abstract

In one aspect, the invention provides a system that predicts the location of an entity, such as a friend of a user of a mobile device, and displays to the user this prediction information on a display screen of the mobile device. In some embodiments, the information may be displayed to the user in an augmented reality view (e.g., the prediction information may be displayed on top of an image as seen through a camera).
