Claims36
A method comprising:
- receiving a search query from a communications device, the search query comprising a communications device identifier, an indication of the geographic position of the communications device, a search distance, and at least one search term;
- and
- initiating the transmission of a list of one or more search results to the communications device identified in the search query, wherein the list of one or more search results comprises at least one search result associated with a predefined geographic region, wherein the geographic position of the communications device indicated in the search query is within the search distance from the predefined geographic region associated with the at least one search result.
A system comprising:
- a processor configured to receive a search query from a communications device, the search query comprising a communications device identifier, an indication of the geographic position of the communications device, a search distance, and at least one search term;
- and
- wherein the processor is configured to initiate the transmission of a list of one or more search results to the communications device identified in the search query, wherein the list of one or more search results comprises at least one search result associated with a predefined geographic region, wherein the geographic position of the communications device indicated in the search query is within the search distance from the predefined geographic region associated with the at least one search result.
A method comprising:
- sending a search query comprising a communications device identifier, an indication of the geographic position of the communications device, a search distance, and at least one search term;
- and
- receiving a list of one or more search results in response to the search query, wherein the list of one or more search results comprises at least one search result associated with a predefined geographic region, wherein the geographic position of the communications device indicated in the search query is within the search distance from the predefined geographic region associated with the at least one search result.
A system comprising:
- a processor configured to initiate the transmission of a search query, the search query comprising a communications device identifier, an indication of the geographic position of the communications device, a search distance, and at least one search term;
- and
- wherein the processor is also configured to receive a list of one or more search results in response to the search query, wherein the list of one or more search results comprises at least one search result associated with a predefined geographic region, wherein the geographic position of the communications device indicated in the search query is within the search distance from the predefined geographic region associated with the at least one search result.
A tangible computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon, the instructions comprising:
- instructions for receiving a search query comprising a communications device identifier, an indication of the geographic position of the communications device, a search distance, and at least one search term;
- and
- instructions for initiating the transmission of a list of one or more search results to the communications device identified in the search query, wherein the list of one or more search results comprises at least one search result associated with a predefined geographic region, wherein the geographic position of the communications device indicated in the search query is within the search distance from the predefined geographic region associated with the at least one search result.
A tangible computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon, the instructions comprising:
- instructions for initiating the transmission of a search query comprising a communications device identifier, an indication of the geographic position of the communications device, a search distance, and at least one search term;
- and
- instructions for receiving a list of one or more search results in response to the search query, wherein the list of one or more search results comprises at least one search result associated with a predefined geographic region, wherein the geographic position of the communications device indicated in the search query is within the search distance from the predefined geographic region associated with the at least one search result.
