Abstract

A system is provided for directing region-specific information. The system locates and transmits information to location-specific users. A directed information system links information related to the location-specific users. The directed information system has access to a regionally defined data base for directing region-specific information to location specific-users.

Claims

1-21. -21. (canceled)

22. A system for directing and receiving information to and from relevant geographical locations, comprising:

a document that comprises information associated with a geographic region; and

a component that automatically directs the document to a user upon entrance into the geographic region.

23. The system of claim 22, the document comprising information associated with the geographic region dynamically linked from a database upon entrance into the geographic region.

24. The system of claim 23, the database is the Internet.

25. The system of claim 22, further comprising a component that receives a query, the document directed to the user based at least in part upon contents of the query.

26. The system of claim 22, further comprising a GPS component that dynamically determines a geographic region associated with the user.

27. The system of claim 22, further comprising a component that analyzes demographic information relating to the user, wherein the document is directed to the user based at least in part upon the analyzed demographic information.

28. The system of claim 27, the demographic information being one or more of income level, vehicle type driven by the user, search history on the Internet, time of day, day of a week, and past purchasing history.

37. A system that facilitates deliverance of information based upon geographic location, comprising:

a plurality of documents associated with one or more of geographic regions, the documents comprising region identifiers that define one or more regions associated with each of the plurality of documents;

a component that dynamically determines a current geographic region associated with a user; and

a delivery component that analyzes the region identifiers associated with the plurality of documents and delivers to the user one or more of the documents that comprise region identifiers corresponding to the current geographic region associated with the user.

38. The system of claim 37, further comprising a query component that receives a query, the one or more documents delivered to the user is based at least in part upon contents of the query.

39. The system of claim 37, further comprising a component that analyzes demographic information corresponding to the user, the one or more documents delivered to the user is based at least in part upon the analyzed demographic information.

40. A portable communication device employing the system of claim 37.

41. The system of claim 37, the region identifiers embedded into the plurality of documents.

42. The system of claim 37, the documents resident upon the Internet.

43. A method for delivering geographically specific information to a user, comprising:

dynamically monitoring geographic location of a user;

automatically searching over a plurality of documents relevant to the geographic location of the user; and

dynamically delivering a document to the user that has been searched over based at least in part upon the monitored geographic location of the user.

44. The method of claim 43, further comprising delivering a disparate document to the user based at least in part upon a sensed alteration in geographic location of the user.

45. The method of claim 43, further comprising receiving a query, the document delivered based at least in part upon the monitored geographic location of the user and the query.

46. The method of claim 43, a GPS system employed to dynamically monitor the geographic location of the user.

47. The method of claim 43, further comprising:

assigning the current geographic location of the user to a geographic region; and

delivering the document to the user based upon the assigned geographic region.

48. The method of claim 47, further comprising embedding geographic region identifiers within the plurality of documents.

49. A system that facilitates information retrieval, comprising:

means for associating a document with a geographic region;

means for dynamically monitoring geographic location of a user;

means for determining a geographic region of the user based upon the monitored geographic location of the user; and

means for delivering the document to the user based at least in part upon the geographic region associated with the document and the determined geographic region of the user.

50. The system of claim 49, further comprising:

means for receiving a query; and

means for delivering the document to the user based at least in part upon the query.
