1. A method of determining a location relevant to a user of a communication device, comprising:
- determining general location information of the location relevant to the user;
determining a list of location parameters from the general location information;
determining specific location information of the communication device; and
determining the location relevant to the user by comparing the list of location parameters with the specific location information, wherein the list of location parameters comprises a dynamically generated list of location parameters, the location parameters at a given position in relation to the general location information.

Abstract
A method of determining a location relevant to a user of a communication device is provided. The method involves determining general location information of the location relevant to the user and determining a list of location parameters from the general location information. Specific location of the communication device is also determined. The location relevant to the user is then determined by comparing the list of location parameters with the specific location information. Systems and programs for using the method are also provided.

1. A method of determining a location relevant to a user of a communication device, comprising:
-
determining general location information of the location relevant to the user;
determining a list of location parameters from the general location information;
determining specific location information of the communication device; and
determining the location relevant to the user by comparing the list of location parameters with the specific location information, wherein the list of location parameters comprises a dynamically generated list of location parameters, the location parameters at a given position in relation to the general location information. - View Dependent Claims (2)
ordering the list of location parameters based upon the given position in relation to the general location information.

3. A method of determining a location relevant to a user of a communication device, comprising:
-
determining general location information of the location relevant to the user;
determining a list of location parameters from the general location information;
determining specific location information of the communication device;
determining the location relevant to the user by comparing the list of location parameters with the specific location information;
receiving a selection list corresponding to the list of location parameters;
receiving a selection;
matching the selection with the selection list to determine a matched selection;
verifying the matched selection; and
transmitting the matched selection. - View Dependent Claims (4, 5, 6, 7, 8)
