Abstract
A system is provided for directing region-specific information. The system locates and transmits information to location-specific users. A directed information system links information related to the location-specific users. The directed information system has access to a regionally defined data base for directing region-specific information to location specific-users.
Claims21
A method comprising:
- maintaining an index of information sources, wherein each information source is associated with at least one geographic region;
- and
- initiating the transmission of data from at least one of the information sources to a communications device if the communications device's indicated geographic position changes from a first position that is greater than a predefined distance from a geographic region associated with the at least one information source to a second position that is within a predefined distance from a geographic region associated with the at least one information source.
A system comprising:
- an information source database comprising an index of information sources, wherein each information source in the index is associated with at least one geographic region;
- and
- one or more processors configured to initiate the transmission of data to a communications device if the communications device's indicated geographic position changes from a first position that is greater than a predefined distance from a geographic region associated with the at least one information source to a second position that is within a predefined distance from a geographic region associated with the at least one information source.
A tangible computer readable media having instructions stored thereon, the instructions comprising:
- instructions for maintaining an index of information sources, wherein each information source in the index is associated with at least one geographic region;
- instructions for initiating the transmission of data from at least one of the information sources to a communications device if the communications device's indicated geographic position changes from a first position that is greater than a predefined distance from a geographic region associated with the at least one information source to a second position that is within a predefined distance from a geographic region associated with the at least one information source.
