System and method for providing geo-relevant information based on a location

A system for providing geo-relevant information based on a received data item originating from a geographic location, the received data item comprising at least one component characterized by the geographic region, the system comprising:

• a geo-coding processor operative to geo-code the received data item originating from a geographic location, the geo-coding processor further including:
• an identifying processor operative to identify the at least one component;
• an associating processor coupled with the identifying processor and operative to associate the identified at least one component with a first geographic region;
• a determining processor coupled with the associating processor and operative to determine a first group of at least two points corresponding to the first geographic region, the first group of at least two points defining a plane in which the first geographic region lies;
• and
• an augmenting processor coupled with the determining processor and operative to augment the data item with data representative of the determined first group of at least two points defining a plane;
• and
• wherein the system further comprises:
• a relevance processor coupled with the geo-coding processor and operative to determine relevant information based on the augmented data item;
• and
• a communications processor coupled with the relevance processor and operative to provide the relevant information to a user.

A system for providing geo-relevant information based on a location, the system comprising:

• means for receiving a data item, the data item originating from a geographic location and comprising at least one component characterized by the geographic location;
• means for geo-coding the data item coupled with the means for receiving, wherein the means for geo-coding further includes:
• means for identifying the at least one component;
• means, coupled with the means for identifying, for associating the identified at least one component with a geographic region;
• means, coupled with the means for associating, for determining at least one group of at least two points corresponding to the geographic region, the at least one group of at least two points defining a plane in which the geographic region lies;
• and
• means, coupled with the means for determining, for augmenting the data item with data representative of the determined at least one group of at least two points defining a plane;
• and
• wherein the system further comprises:
• means, coupled with the means for geo-coding, for determining relevant information based on the augmented data item;
• and
• means, coupled with the means for determining, for providing the relevant information to a user.
