Wireless communication system and method to provide geo-spatial related event data
First Claim
1. A method of activating geo-spatial dependent data using a server and a global positioning satellite-based wireless component, said method comprising:
- receiving input event data associated with a designated geo-spatial area at said server;
maintaining and updating said event managed data and event subscribed data at said server;
matching a profile that is subscribed to by entering a designated geo-spatial area by said wireless component; and
notifying said wireless component of said event subscribed data.

Abstract
A system and method for communication of information that has particular significance to a specific location only to those individuals that are at or near that geo-spatial location. In particular, providing safety factor data and alerts is a preferred use of the invention. The invention allows information to be tailored to the individual at that location by selectively filtering what is communicated and what is not. The system includes a transmitting proximity event server, a GPS client wireless component that can be a personal wireless communication device (such as Palm Pilot, cellular digital phones, etc.) or personal computer configured for use within a global position satellite network.

8. A system for activating geo-spatial dependent data, the system comprising:
-
a global positioning satellite (GPS) wireless component configured for use with a remote wireless server, said server including a server session manager operatively connected a location database and a matcher component;
a notification unit operatively connected to said matcher component;
an event database operatively connected to an event manager that receives external event data;
a profile database operatively connected to said matcher component;
and a status database operatively connected to said notification unit, whereby a profile subscribed to causes transmission of geo-spatial dependent data when entering a designated geo-spatial area and said dependent data is provided to said wireless component. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

14. A program storage device readable by machine, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by said machine to perform a method for activating geo-spatial dependent data using a server configured for use with a global positioning satellite-based wireless component, said method comprising:
-
receiving input event data associated with a designated geo-spatial area at said server;
maintaining and updating said event managed data and event subscribed data at said server;
matching a profile that is subscribed to when entering said designated geo-spatial area; and
notifying said wireless component of said event subscribed data.
