Abstract
A system and method for providing position information using a three-dimensional based grid is provided. The position information may be relayed to an electronic device by providing location information to a database and receiving location-centric information at the electronic device. The system may include a network for continuously updating the database in real-time.
Claims17
A method of retrieving location-centric information, comprising:
- identifying a geographic location within a base grid using an electronic device, the base grid being defined by a plurality of volumes, the volumes defining a plurality of locations within the base grid;
- querying a database based on data associated with the geographic location, the geographic location being associated with the location of the electronic device, and the database including information associated with at least some of the plurality of the locations within the base grid;
- and
- receiving the information associated with the identified geographic location.
1 more element
Computer executable software code stored on a computer-readable medium operable with a wireless device, the code for:
- providing information related to a geographic location to an information system, the geographic location being located within a base grid and the information being associated with the position of an electronic device;
- receiving a location identifier from the information system;
- and
- receiving location-centric information from said information system, the location-centric information being related to a condition associated with the geographic location.
1 more element
A database stored on a computer-readable medium, comprising:
- a plurality of location data fields, each location field being associated with a location in a base grid, the base grid being defined in three-dimensional space;
- and
- a plurality of information data fields, at least one of the information data fields being associated with each location within the base grid, the information data fields being configured to be updated dynamically via a network, the database being configured to output information associated with a location in a base grid to an electronic device.
