Abstract

A context of the user of a mobile communication device determines what product or service is requested. By determining where the mobile communication device is, unique identifying information is used to identify a specific product or service. By using information regarding products limited to a defined area, a reduced product/service identifier can be used on products/services.

Claims

1. A context sensitive computer system programmed to determine a product/service/information requested, comprising:

a computer system programmed to input a location information regarding a location of a mobile communication device, programmed to receive a product/service/information identifying information, and being programmed to determine a product/service/information requested by a user based on the location information and said product/service/information identifying information.

2. The context sensitive computer system of claim 1, wherein said computer system is configured to determine a type of user request based on selection information provided by the user, wherein said type of user request is one of a product, service, and information.

3. The context sensitive computer system of claim 1, wherein said computer system is configured to determine a type of user request based on said product/service/information identifying information.

4. The context sensitive computer system of claim 1, wherein said product/service/information identifying information is based on RFID information.

5. The context sensitive computer system of claim 1, wherein said product/service/information identifying information is based on a location based identification number.

6. The context sensitive computer system of claim 1, wherein said computer system is programmed to receive said location information from said mobile communication device.

7. The context sensitive computer system of claim 1, wherein said computer system is programmed to determine said location information of said mobile communication device.

8. A consumer request delivery system, comprising:

an information reader having first identifying information; and

a business computer system coupled to said information reader, said business computer system configured to receive second identifying information associated with a mobile communication device, said computer system configured to determine one of a product, service, and information based on said first identifying information, and configured to cause appropriate information to be provided to said mobile communication device associated with said second identifying information.

9. The consumer request delivery system of claim 8, wherein said first identifying information includes location information associated with said information reader.

10. The consumer request delivery system of claim 8, wherein said first identifying information includes product information associated with said information reader.

11. The consumer request delivery system of claim 8, wherein said first identifying information includes information associated with said information reader.

12. The consumer request delivery system of claim 8, wherein said business computer system is configured to cause an application to run on said mobile communication device associated with said second identifying information.

13. The consumer request delivery system of claim 8, wherein said business computer system is configured to cause an application to run as a thin client on said mobile communication device associated with said second identifying information.

14. A method of providing a user of a mobile communication device with context-based wireless information, comprising:

providing first identifying information associated with an information reader to a computer system;

receiving by the information reader second identifying information associated with said mobile communication device;

providing said second identifying information associated with said mobile communication device to the computer system; and

determining, by the computer system, the type of request sought by the user based on said first identifying information.

15. The method of claim 14, further comprising:

causing an application associated with said type of request to be provided to said mobile communication device, using said second identifying information.

16. The method of claim 14, further comprising:

causing a product to be ordered, wherein said product is associated with said first identifying information.

17. The method of claim 14, further comprising:

causing a service to be provided to a user associated with said mobile communication device, wherein said service is associated with said first identifying information.

18. The method of claim 14, further comprising:

causing a page to be provided to a user associated with said mobile communication device, wherein said information is associated with said first identifying information.

19. The method of claim 14, further comprising:

causing information to be provided to said mobile communication device using said second identifying information, wherein said information is associated with said first identifying information.
