A method of locating a first user comprises receiving at a server, via a communication network, video data from a sensor at a predetermined location that is remote from the server. Using a process in execution on a processor of the server, at least one of video analytics, image analytics and audio analytics is performed for determining a presence of the first user at the predetermined location. When a result of the video analytics is indicative of the first user being present at the predetermined location, an indication that the first user is at the predetermined location is retrievably stored within a memory element of the server. |

1. A method of locating a first user, comprising:
associating the first user with a plurality of first systems, each first system of the plurality of first systems including at least an electronic sensing device for sensing data within a sensing area of said each first system; using a second system, transmitting a signal indicative of a request for locating the first user within the sensing area of one of the plurality of first systems; performing at least one of audio, image and video analytics of data that are sensed using the electronic sensing device of each first system of the plurality of first systems, to determine a presence of the first user within the sensing area of one of the plurality of first systems; and, when the first user is determined to be present within the sensing area of the one of the plurality of first systems, providing a first indication indicative of the location of the first user within the sensing area of the one of the plurality of first systems, wherein the sensed data are transmitted from each first system of the plurality of first systems to a third system via a communication network, and the at least one of audio, image and video analytics is performed using a processor of the third system, and wherein the third system comprises a plurality of user systems, and performing the at least one of audio, image and video analytics is accomplished according to a peer-to-peer protocol. |
