A method comprising establishing a call between an apparatus and a separate apparatus, establishing a homing session between the apparatus and the separate apparatus, receiving separate apparatus location information from the separate apparatus, determining apparatus location information, receiving orientation sensor information from at least one orientation sensor, determining an apparatus orientation, determining a homing direction to the separate apparatus, determining a separate apparatus direction indicator that represents the homing direction to the separate apparatus, causing display of the separate apparatus direction indicator, terminating the homing session between the apparatus and the separate apparatus, and precluding display of the separate apparatus direction indicator in response to the termination of the homing session between the apparatus and the separate apparatus is disclosed.

主权项

1. An apparatus, comprising:
at least one processor; at least one memory including non-transitory computer program code, the memory and the computer program code configured to, working with the processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following: establishment of a call between an apparatus and a separate apparatus, the call being at least one of a voice call or a video call; establishment of a homing session between the apparatus and the separate apparatus based, at least in part, on the call; receipt of separate apparatus location information from the separate apparatus, the separate apparatus location information being information indicative of a geographic location of the separate apparatus; determination of apparatus location information, the apparatus location information being information indicative of a geographic location of the apparatus; receipt of orientation sensor information from at least one orientation sensor; determination of an apparatus orientation based, at least in part, on the orientation sensor information, the apparatus orientation being indicative of an orientation of a display with respect to a geographical reference direction; determination of a homing direction to the separate apparatus based, at least in part, the separate apparatus location information, the apparatus location information, and the apparatus orientation, the homing direction being a direction from the apparatus to the separate apparatus relative to the apparatus orientation; determination of a separate apparatus direction indicator that represents the homing direction to the separate apparatus; causation of display of the separate apparatus direction indicator; determination of a distance between the apparatus and the separate apparatus based, at least in part, on the apparatus location information and the separate apparatus location information; determination that the distance is within a threshold proximity alert distance; transmission of a smoke signal directive to the separate apparatus, the smoke signal directive being information indicative of a command that is configured to cause the separate apparatus to render a smoke signal; termination of the homing session between the apparatus and the separate apparatus; and preclusion of display of the separate apparatus direction indicator in response to the termination of the homing session between the apparatus and the separate apparatus.
