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.
Claims19
A method of retrieving location-centric information, comprising:
- identifying a geographic location from a plurality of geographic locations within a base grid using an electronic device, the base grid being defined by a plurality of volumes, the volumes defining the plurality of geographic locations within the base grid;
- identifying a property associated with the geographic location;
- querying a database based on data associated with the property, the geographic location being associated with a location of the electronic device, and the database including information associated with at least some of the plurality of the geographic locations within the base grid;
- receiving directly from the database a data set associated with the identified property, the data set including a selectable icon associated with making a bid;
- and
- transmitting data associated with a selection of the icon associated with making a bid.
A processor-readable medium storing code representing instructions to cause a processor to perform a process, the code comprising code to:
- provide information related to a geographic location associated with a position of an electronic device to an information system, the geographic location being located within a base grid;
- receive a location identifier associated with a property at the geographic location from the information system;
- receive a first menu of location-centric information associated with the property directly from the information system, the first menu having a plurality of selectable icons;
- and
- transmit data associated with a selection of an icon from the plurality of icons to the information system, the plurality of selectable icons including an icon associated with making a bid.

- receive a first menu of location-centric information associated with the property directly from the information system, the first menu having a plurality of selectable icons;
- transmit data associated with a selection of an icon from the plurality of icons to the information system;
- and
- receive an audio response directly from the database based on the selection.
