1. A method for communicating an estimate of a location of at least one radio endpoint to at least one connected object, wherein the method is implemented by a mobile terminal and comprises:
receiving, at a given time, from at least one received radio signal, at least one identifier of said at least one radio endpoint,
obtaining at least an estimate of the location of said at least one radio endpoint,
associating the estimate of said location of said at least one radio endpoint and said given time with said at least one identifier, and
broadcasting said association to said at least one connected object, which is situated in a vicinity of the mobile terminal, by using at least one broadcast radio signal, the estimate of said location of said at least one radio endpoint also being representative of the location of the at least one connected object, and usable by the at least one connected object to locate itself.
