METHOD AND MEANS FOR BROWSING BY WALKING
First Claim
1. An electronic transaction method, comprising:
- broadcasting a short range wireless information signal from at least one base station directly to a mobile station with an operating system via one or more of a wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) signal, a Bluetooth©
signal and a near field communication (NFC) signal;
receiving the short range wireless information signal by a mobile client application in the mobile station at a specific location of the mobile station in a range from a specific location of the base station allowing short range direct communication connection between one or more mobile stations and the base station, the mobile client application being a downloadable third party application; and
determining, by a transceiver of the mobile station, the location of the mobile station by deducing the location from at least one base station identity of the base station.

Abstract
A mobile station is arranged to determine its location, which is searched against street addresses from a database, and at least one matching street address is retrieved. The street address is searched on the mobile station and/or over the network. The search engine conducts a search in the mobile station file system and/or the Internet and/or a file system over the network with the at least one query term, -at least one search result is arranged to be displayed to user on the screen of the mobile station. This facilitates on-demand effortless Mobile Internet Search that allows the users to access opportunities that they did not know about, or would not have had time to find out about with minimum effort as the software of the mobile phone is scanning the Internet and information pages for these opportunities and displaying the results dynamically on the mobile phone screen.
