Abstract
A system and method for providing position information using a three-dimensional based grid is provided. The position information may be relayed to an electronic device by providing location information to a database and receiving location-centric information at the electronic device. The system may include a network for continuously updating the database in real-time.
Claims20
A non-transitory processor-readable medium storing code representing instructions to be executed by a processor, the code comprising code to cause the processor to:
- receive at a mobile electronic device from an information system information related to a geographic location associated with a position of the mobile electronic device and defined within a base grid of the information system, the information including a plurality of location identifiers, the information system being at a geographic location remote from the geographic location of the mobile electronic device, the information system including a database including information related to a plurality of properties for sale and configured to be dynamically updated to associate information related to each property for sale from the plurality of properties for sale to a geographic location defined within the base grid;
- transmit from the mobile electronic device to the information system a selection of at least one location identifier from a plurality of location identifiers, each location identifier from the plurality of location identifiers associated with a unique street address of a property for sale located proximate to the geographic location associated with the position of the mobile electronic device;
- receive at the mobile electronic device, from the information system, data associated with the selected location identifier including a plurality of selectable icons configured to initiate a search for additional information associated with the selected location identifier;
- and
- transmit from the mobile electronic device to the information system data associated with a selection of a selectable icon from the plurality of selectable icons.

A non-transitory processor-readable medium storing code representing instructions to be executed by a processor, the code comprising code to cause the processor to:
- provide from a mobile electronic device to an information system information related to a geographic location associated with a position of the mobile electronic device, the information system being at a geographic location remote from the geographic location of the mobile electronic device, the information system including a base grid with geographic location information and a database configured to be dynamically updated and to associate information related to a plurality of properties for sale input to the database to geographic locations within the base grid;
- receive at the mobile electronic device from the information system a location identifier associated with a property for sale located proximate to the geographic location of the mobile electronic device and defined within the base grid, and a conduct search icon,
- transmit from the mobile electronic device to the information system, a selection of the conduct search icon;
- in response to the selection of the conduct search icon, receive at the mobile electronic device from the information system, a menu of location-centric information associated with the location identifier, the menu having a plurality of selectable icons, each icon from the plurality of selectable icons configured to initiate a search within a different predetermined radius of the geographic location of the mobile electronic device when selected;
- and
- transmit from the mobile electronic device to the information system data associated with a selection of an icon from the plurality of icons of the menu.

A method, comprising:
- providing from a mobile electronic device to an information system information related to a geographic location associated with a position of the mobile electronic device, the information system being at a geographic location remote from the geographic location of the mobile electronic device, the information system including a base grid defining a plurality of geographic locations and a database configured to be dynamically updated and to associate information related to a plurality of properties for sale input to the database to geographic locations within the base grid;
- receiving at the mobile electronic device from the information system a plurality of location identifiers, each location identifier from the plurality of location identifiers including a unique street address of a property for sale located proximate to the geographic location of the mobile electronic device;
- transmitting from the mobile electronic device to the information system data associated with a selection of one location identifier from the plurality of location identifiers;
- receiving at the mobile electronic device from the information system a plurality of selectable icons to search within a predetermined radius, each icon from the plurality of selectable icons configured to initiate a search within a different predetermined radius of the geographic location of the mobile electronic device when selected;
- and
- transmitting from the mobile electronic device to the information system data associated with a selection of a selectable icon from the plurality of selectable icons.
