System and method for sending local information from a wireless browser to a web server

Non-transitory computer-readable memory storing instructions comprising operating system instructions and hardware-coded instructions of a handheld cellular telephone device, the device being capable, in operation of the device, of wirelessly communicating with at least one server, the stored instructions when executed by the device resulting in the device being capable of performing operations comprising:

• reception, at least in part, via a microphone of the device, of at least one vocalized user request for at least one service to be provided, at least in part, by the at least one server to a user, the at least one service to be provided based at least in part upon location of the device;
• audible rendering, at least in part, via a speaker of the device, of synthesized speech to be heard by the user, the synthesized speech being associated, at least in part, with certain information received, at least in part, from the at least one server, the certain information being responsive, at least in part, to the at least one request and also being associated, at least in part, with the at least one service;
• and
• displaying, at least in part, via a display of the device, of the certain information;
• wherein:
• the at least one service comprises:
• provision, at least in part, of driving directions from the location to a destination;
• and/or
• identification, at least in part, of at least one business satisfying at least one user-specified parameter;
• the device also comprises a rechargeable power source capable of powering the device for carrying out the operations;
• and
• in the operation of the device, the instructions are capable of being downloaded, at least in part, to the device from the at least one server;
• the operations also comprise reception, at least in part, of at least one user input;
• when the device is in the operation, the device is capable of determining, at least in part, whether the at least one user input is associated, at least in part, with (1) at least one other service that is capable of being provided, at least in part, by the at least one server, or (2) at least one telephone number that is capable of being called via the device, the at least one other service to be based, at least in part, upon the location of the device.

At least one server capable of wirelessly communicating with a handheld cellular telephone device, the at least one server comprising:

• storage to store instructions that comprise operating system instructions and hardware-coded instructions of the handheld cellular telephone device, the instructions being capable of being downloaded, at least in part, from the at least one server to the device;
• the stored instructions when executed by the device resulting in the device being capable of performing operations comprising:
• reception, at least in part, via a microphone of the device, of at least one vocalized user request for at least one service to be provided, at least in part, by the at least one server to a user, the at least one service to be provided based at least in part upon location of the device;
• audible rendering, at least in part, via a speaker of the device, of synthesized speech to be heard by the user, the synthesized speech being associated, at least in part, with certain information received, at least in part, from the at least one server, the certain information being responsive, at least in part, to the at least one request and also being associated, at least in part, with the at least one service;
• and
• displaying, at least in part, via a display of the device, of the certain information;
• wherein:
• the at least one service comprises:
• provision, at least in part, of driving directions from the location to a destination;
• and/or
• identification, at least in part, of at least one business satisfying at least one user-specified parameter;
• the device also comprises a rechargeable power source capable of powering the device for carrying out the operations;
• the operations also comprise reception, at least in part, of at least one user input;
• when the device is in the operation, the device is capable of determining, at least in part, whether the at least one user input is associated, at least in part, with (1) at least one other service that is capable of being provided, at least in part, by the at least one server, or (2) at least one telephone number that is capable of being called via the device, the at least one other service to be based, at least in part, upon the location of the device.
