This invention provides an object locator to locate a variety of target
objects. A selective directional transceiver is used to determine the
relative direction of the target object, even in a multiple-story
building, from a hand held component of the object locator. And moving
the hand held component toward the target object according to the
relative direction shall allow the user to quickly locate the target
object. The hand held component may keep a list of identifications of
multiple target objects in the memory and locate them one by one. A voice
recognition unit and a key stroke recognition unit in the hand held
component shall allow the user of the object locator to easily locate the
object by voice and/or key stroke. To share the hardware, software,
memory and the display unit of an existing device like cellular phone
hand set, personal digital assistant, or car alarm remote, the object
locator may be embedded in it, and expand its additional application.
