1. A method for providing predictive offerings to a user of a mobile device, the steps comprising:
- providing a mobile device location;
providing a nature of the present mobile device location;
accessing a database system having a plurality of records, wherein the records respectively include stored locations correlated with stored natures;
comparing the mobile device location and nature thereof with the records, thereby defining a location nature;
determining a predicted relevant set of offerings based on the location nature, wherein the offerings include records, the stored location and correlated stored nature of each record being different than the present mobile device location and nature thereof;

Abstract
Systems and methods for providing predictive services and/or goods to a mobile device user are disclosed. A mobile device is able to obtain location information which is then processed to determine a present location of a user, and a nature of that location may be associated therewith, either by user input or by accessing a database having stored natures for that location. The location and nature may be stored as a record, and/or may be compared to stored records of stored locations and correlated natures. The predictive service makes a determination of possible future locations and natures of the user, different from the present location and nature thereof, to provide offerings to the mobile device.
