Configuring and using multi-dimensional zones

A method to define a three-dimensional geographical zone utilized with a movable entity having at least one attached transponder and to communicate a message to an individual having the transponder wirelessly linked to the internet and provided with a GPS receiver, comprising:

• allowing a user to enter at least one a geographical coordinate,
• wherein the at least one geographical coordinate is represented by a latitude value, a longitude value, and an elevation value;
• the coordinate being indoors within a building structure, the coordinate being derived from a network indoors within the building structure;
• loading the at least one geographical coordinate on the at least one transponder;
• receiving over the internet, from the transponder, the transponder being enabled to operate based on a location of the device in a 3-D space environment, the geographical coordinate being location information derived from the GPS receiver and information identifying the individual;
• using the location information and the identifying information in a programmed computer in communication with stored messages;
• and thereupon, under the control of a programmed computer and without specific request by the individual, sending to the transponder over the internet using an identifier personal to the individual a message, the message being directed to the individual based on the 3-D location of the device in space of the individual and the transponder, the transponder being a cell phone, or PDA and wherein the transponder includes the ability to communicate selectively by at least one of WiFi and short radio range, selectively by Bluetooth protocol to effect location information, and commercial communications are performed by the transponder associated with the user located in a particular geographical area, selectively the user associated with the transponder being located in a specific area of a shopping mall or a hotel, and wherein at least one of an advertisement, promotion or suggestion that relates to that specific area of the shopping mall or hotel is downloaded to the transponder for the user.

A method to define a three-dimensional geographical zone utilized with a movable entity having at least one attached transponder and to communicate a message to an individual having the transponder wirelessly linked to the internet and provided with a GPS receiver, comprising:

• allowing a user to enter at least one waypoint,
• wherein the at least one waypoint is defined by a first geographical coordinate and a radius,
• wherein the first geographical coordinate is represented by a latitude value, a longitude value, and an elevation value;
• the coordinate being within a confined area of a building structure;
• wherein the radius is represented by a distance magnitude;
• allowing a user to enter at least one second geographical coordinate,
• wherein the at least one second geographical coordinate is represented by a latitude value, a longitude value, and an elevation value;
• loading the at least one waypoint on the at least one transponder;
• loading the at least one second geographical coordinate on the at least one transponder;
• receiving over the internet, from the transponder, the transponder being enabled to operate based on a location of the device in a 3-D space environment, the geographical coordinate being location information derived from the GPS receiver and information identifying the individual;
• using the location information and the identifying information in a programmed computer in communication with stored messages, the messages being offerings of commercial products or services;
• and thereupon, under the control of a programmed computer and without specific request by the individual, sending to the transponder over the interne using an identifier personal to the individual a message, the message being directed to the individual based on the 3-D location of the device in space of the individual and the transponder, the transponder being a cell phone, or PDA and wherein the transponder includes the ability to communicate selectively by at least one of WiFi and short radio range, selectively by Bluetooth protocol to effect location information, and commercial communications are performed by the transponder associated with the user located in a particular geographical area, selectively the user associated with the transponder being located in a specific area of a shopping mall or a hotel, and wherein at least one of an advertisement, promotion or suggestion that relates to that specific area of the shopping mall or hotel is downloaded to the transponder for the user.
