Abstract

One embodiment is directed to a system for assisting an operator to view events, comprising: a first centralized computing system; and a mobile computing device operatively coupled to the first centralized computing system and configured such that a mobile location may be determined based at least in part upon wireless communications between the mobile computing device and one or more remote transceivers positioned in known locations; wherein the first centralized computing system is configured to operate an event management webservice, and is operatively coupled to a second centralized computing system containing social networking data; and wherein the mobile computing device may be operated to view a selection of event data received from the first centralized computing system that has been selected based at least in part upon the mobile location and the social networking data.

Claims

1. A system for assisting an operator to view events, comprising:

a. a first centralized computing system; and

b. a mobile computing device operatively coupled to the first centralized computing system and configured such that a mobile location may be determined based at least in part upon wireless communications between the mobile computing device and one or more remote transceivers positioned in known locations;

wherein the first centralized computing system is configured to operate an event management webservice, and is operatively coupled to a second centralized computing system containing social networking data; and

wherein the mobile computing device may be operated to view a selection of event data received from the first centralized computing system that has been selected based at least in part upon the mobile location and the social networking data.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the first centralized computing system is a webserver.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the mobile computing device is selected from the group consisting of:

a mobile phone, a tablet computer, and a laptop computer.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the mobile computing device is operatively coupled to the first centralized computing system via a wireless network.

5. The system of claim 4, wherein the wireless network comprises a mobile wireless network.

6. The system of claim 4, wherein the wireless network comprises a WiFi network.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the second centralized computing system is a webserver.

8. The system of claim 7, wherein the webserver is configured to host one or more portions of a social network platform.

9. The system of claim 8, wherein the one or more portions of a social network platform comprise a database featuring user relationship information.

10. The system of claim 9, wherein the user relationship information comprises contact information.

11. The system of claim 9, wherein the user relationship information comprises relationship status information.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein the relationship status information comprises friend status.

13. The system of claim 7, wherein the webserver is configured to host one or more portions of an electronic mail platform.

14. The system of claim 13, wherein the one or more portions of an electronic mail platform comprise a database featuring contact information.

15. The system of claim 1, wherein at least one of the one or more mobile transceivers is a mobile wireless transceiver.

16. The system of claim 15, wherein a plurality of mobile wireless transceivers is configured to be utilized to determine the mobile location with triangulation techniques.

17. The system of claim 1, wherein at least one of the one or more mobile transceivers is a satellite positioning transceiver.

18. The system of claim 17, wherein a plurality of satellite positioning transceivers is configured to be utilized to determine the mobile location with triangulation techniques.

19. The system of claim 1, wherein at least one of the one or more mobile transceivers is a near-field-communications transceiver.

20. The system of claim 19, wherein a plurality of near-field-communications transceivers is configured to be utilized to determine the mobile location with triangulation techniques.

21. The system of claim 1, wherein the event management webservice is further configured such that the operator may utilize contact information comprising the social networking data to complete one or more portions of an invitation interface before dispatching to a designated group of invitees, the invitation interface comprising payment amount and payment closing date configuration options such that the operator may select a payment amount for each invitee to pay to attend the event, as well as a closing date for processing such payment amount which may be before, during, or after occurrence of the event.
