Wireless coordination and management system
First Claim
1. A method of managing information that is received from one or more users over a communication network in a communication environment, comprising:
- receiving information from a user at a first node of the communication network, the information indicating user-specified criteria related to an establishment located in the communication environment;
storing the information at a central database that is linked to the communication network;
monitoring the user'"'"'s location within the communication environment;
determining if the user is located near an establishment that satisfies one or more of the user-specified criteria; and
sending a notification to the user if the user is near an establishment that satisfies one or more of the user-specified criteria.

Abstract
The disclosed system manages information that is received from one or more users over a communication network. A user provides information to the network using a network node, such as a data acquisition device that is a wireless, mobile communication device. The system monitors the user'"'"'s location within a communication environment and sends an alarm to a user when the user is near a location that satisfies user-specified criteria. The system stores the user-provided information at a central database that is linked to the communication network. When an authorized user revises the information, any other authorized user can access the revised information by accessing the central database through a node of the communication network.

13. A method of managing data that is received from one or more users over a communication network in a communication environment, comprising:
-
receiving data from a node of the communication network, the data indicating at least one criterion that can be satisfied by an establishment located in the communication environment;
obtaining a location of a remote device in the communication environment, wherein the remote device is a node of the communication network;
identifying an establishment as a qualified establishment when an establishment satisfies at least one of the criterion;
determining whether the location of the remote device relative to the location of the qualified establishment satisfies a condition; and
transmitting an alarm over the communication network to the remote device if the condition is satisfied. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
