1-21. (canceled)
A system for directing and receiving information to and from relevant geographical locations, comprising:
- a document that comprises information associated with a geographic region;
- and
- a component that automatically directs the document to a user upon entrance into the geographic region.
A portable device comprising the system of claim 1.
An automobile comprising the system of claim 1.
The system of claim 1, a region identifier associated with the document.
The system of claim 1, the document is a web page.
The system of claim 1, further comprising a component that receives a query, wherein documents returned based upon the query are restricted to documents comprising information relating to a current geographic region of the user.
The system of claim 1, at least a portion of the information within the document directed audibly to the user.
The system of claim 1, the document pushed from a database assigned to the geographic region.
The system of claim 1, at least one of size and shape of the geographic region is defined by the user.
A system that facilitates deliverance of information based upon geographic location, comprising:
- a plurality of documents associated with one or more of geographic regions, the documents comprising region identifiers that define one or more regions associated with each of the plurality of documents;
- a component that dynamically determines a current geographic region associated with a user;
- and
- a delivery component that analyzes the region identifiers associated with the plurality of documents and delivers to the user one or more of the documents that comprise region identifiers corresponding to the current geographic region associated with the user.
A method for delivering geographically specific information to a user, comprising:
- dynamically monitoring geographic location of a user;
- automatically searching over a plurality of documents relevant to the geographic location of the user;
- and
- dynamically delivering a document to the user that has been searched over based at least in part upon the monitored geographic location of the user.
A system that facilitates information retrieval, comprising:
- means for associating a document with a geographic region;
- means for dynamically monitoring geographic location of a user;
- means for determining a geographic region of the user based upon the monitored geographic location of the user;
- and
- means for delivering the document to the user based at least in part upon the geographic region associated with the document and the determined geographic region of the user.
