Abstract

A system and method for providing business information to a communication device include partitioning a region for each base station, and creating a database to store business information of each region. The system and method further include receiving a query request from the communication device through a base station, determining a region corresponding to the base station, and sending business information of the determined region to the communication device.

Claims

1. A method for providing business information from a server to a communication device, the server in communication with the communication device through a plurality of base stations, the method comprising:

partitioning a region for each of the plurality of base stations, and assigning an identification (ID) number for each of the plurality of base stations;

creating a database in a storage system of the server, and storing business information of a plurality of businesses in each region into the database;

receiving a query request from the communication device when a communication between the communication device and the server is established through one of the plurality of base stations;

acquiring an ID number of the base station, and determining a region corresponding to the base station; and

sending business information of the determined region from the server to the communication device through the base station.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the business information is sent to the communication device by messages or E-mails.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the plurality of base stations are wireless base stations or mobile telephone base stations.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the business information comprises names, classifications, addresses, contact phone numbers, and preferential information of various trade companies.

5. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

presetting query conditions to query the business information.

6. The method according to claim 5, further comprising:

searching the database for the business information according to the preset query conditions; and

sending the searched business information to the communication device.

7. A computing system for providing business information from a server to a communication device, the server in communication with the communication device through a plurality of base stations, the computing system comprising:

a storage system;

at least one processor; and

one or more programs stored in the storage system and being executable by the at least one processor, the one or more programs comprising;

a creating module operable to partition a region for each of the plurality of base stations, assign an identification (ID) number for each of the plurality of base stations, create a database in the storage system, and store business information of a plurality of businesses of each region into the database;

a receiving module operable to receive a query request from the communication device when a communication between the communication device and the server is established through one of the plurality of base stations;

an acquiring module operable to acquire an ID number of the base station, and determine a region corresponding to the base station; and

a sending module operable to send business information of the determined region from the server to the communication device through the base station.

8. The computing system according to claim 7, wherein the business information is sent to the communication device by messages or E-mails.

9. The computing system according to claim 7, wherein the plurality of base stations are wireless base stations or mobile telephone base stations.

10. The computing system according to claim 7, wherein the business information comprises names, classifications, addresses, contact phone numbers, and preferential information of various trade companies.

11. The computing system according to claim 7, wherein the one or more programs further comprises a setting module operable to preset query conditions to query the business information.

12. The computing system according to claim 11, wherein the sending module is further operable to search the database for the business information according to the preset query conditions, and send the searched business information to the communication device.

13. A storage medium storing a set of instructions, the set of instructions capable of being executed by a processor to perform a method for providing business information from a server to a communication device, the server in communication with the communication device through a plurality of base stations, the method comprising:

partitioning a region for each of the plurality of base stations, and assigning an identification (ID) number for each of the plurality of base stations;

creating a database in a storage system of the server, and storing business information of a plurality of businesses of each region into the database;

receiving a query request from the communication device when a communication between the communication device and the server is established through one of the plurality of base stations;

acquiring an ID number of the base station, and determining a region corresponding to the base station; and

sending business information of the determined region from the server to the communication device through the base station.

14. The storage medium as claimed in claim 13, wherein the business information is sent to the communication device by messages or E-mails.

15. The storage medium as claimed in claim 13, wherein the plurality of base stations are wireless base stations or mobile telephone base stations.

16. The storage medium as claimed in claim 13, wherein the business information comprises names, classifications, addresses, contact phone numbers, and preferential information of various trade companies.

17. The storage medium as claimed in claim 13, wherein the method further comprises:

presetting query conditions to query the business information.

18. The storage medium as claimed in claim 17, wherein the method further comprises:

searching the database for the business information according to the preset query conditions; and

sending the searched business information to the communication device.
