Abstract
Providing a request is disclosed. A first distance indication indicating a physical distance between the first mobile device and a reference location is received from a first mobile device. It is determined that the first distance indication meets a threshold criteria relative to a second distance indication of a second mobile device. A request for payment is provided to the first mobile device based at least in on part on the determination that the first distance indication meets the threshold criteria.
Claims20
A system for providing a request, comprising:
- a communication interface configured to receive from a first mobile device a first distance indication indicating a physical distance between the first mobile device and a reference location;
- and
- a processor coupled with the communication interface and configured to
- determine that the first distance indication meets a threshold criteria relative to a second distance indication of a second mobile device, and
- provide a request for payment to the first mobile device based at least in on part on the determination that the first distance indication meets the threshold criteria.
A method for providing a request, comprising:
- receiving from a first mobile device a first distance indication indicating a physical distance between the first mobile device and a reference location;
- using a processor to determine that the first distance indication meets a threshold criteria relative to a second distance indication of a second mobile device;
- and
- providing a request for payment to the first mobile device based at least in on part on the determination that the first distance indication meets the threshold criteria.
A computer program product for providing a request, the computer program product being embodied in a tangible computer readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions for:
- receiving from a first mobile device a first distance indication indicating a physical distance between the first mobile device and a reference location;
- determining that the first distance indication meets a threshold criteria relative to a second distance indication of a second mobile device;
- and
- providing a request for payment to the first mobile device based at least in on part on the determination that the first distance indication meets the threshold criteria.
