METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR FACILITATING COMMUNICATION BASED ON GEOLOCATION
First Claim
1. A method of facilitating communication of a message from a sender to a recipient based on geolocation, the method comprising:
- receiving, using a processor, a message associated with a sender, wherein the message is further associated with a topic indicator;
receiving, using a processor, a location criterion associated with the sender;
receiving, using a processor, an interest indicator associated with the recipient;
receiving, using a processor, a location criterion associated with the recipient; and
transmitting, using a processor, the message to a recipient device associated with the recipient, wherein the transmitting is based on each of the topic indicator, the interest indicator associated with the recipient, the location criterion associated with the sender and the location criterion associated with the recipient, wherein the message is configured for re-transmission by the recipient device.

Abstract
Disclosed is a method of facilitating communication of a message from a sender to a recipient based on geolocation. The method may include receiving, using a processor, a message associated with a sender. The message may be further associated with a topic indicator. Additionally, the method may include receiving, using a processor, a location criterion associated with the sender. Further, the method may include receiving, using a processor, each of an interest indicator and a location criterion associated with the recipient. Furthermore, the method may include transmitting, using a processor, the message to a recipient device associated with the recipient. The transmitting may be based on each of the topic indicator, the interest indicator associated with the recipient, the location criterion associated with the sender and the location criterion associated with the recipient. Additionally, the message may be configured for re-transmission by the recipient device.

28. A method of facilitating communication between a sender device and a recipient device, wherein each step of the method is performed by at least one processor, the method comprising:
-
receiving a message from the sender device; receiving a topic tag associated with the message; receiving each of a transmission location and a transmission distance, wherein each of the transmission location and the transmission distance characterize a transmission region; receiving an interest tag associated with the recipient device; receiving each of a reception location and a reception distance, wherein each of the reception location and the transmission distance characterize a reception region; and determining an interest match based on a comparison of the topic tag with the interest tag; determining a location match based on an intersection of the transmission region and the reception region; and transmitting the message to the recipient device based on each of the interest match and the location match, wherein the message is configured for re-transmission by the recipient device. - View Dependent Claims (29)

30. A system for facilitating communication of a message from a sender to a recipient based on geolocation, the system comprising each of a communication module and a processor, wherein the communication module is configured to:
-
receive a message associated with a sender, wherein the message is further associated with a topic indicator; receive a location criterion associated with the sender; receive an interest indicator associated with the recipient; receive a location criterion associated with the recipient; and transmit the message to a recipient device associated with the recipient, wherein the transmission is based on each of the topic indicator, the interest indicator associated with the recipient, the location criterion associated with the sender and the location criterion associated with the recipient, wherein the message is configured for re-transmission by the recipient device.
