Wireless communication system and method to provide geo-spatial related event data
First Claim
1. A method of activating geo-spatial dependent data using a wireless component having a global positioning satellite (GPS) interface, said method comprising:
- identifying a current geo-spatial location of said wireless component;
evaluating whether to send dynamic event data from a server to said wireless component based on said geo-spatial location; and
controlling said dynamic event data delivered to said wireless component using a user-defined profile.

Abstract
A system and method for communication of information that has particular significance to a specific location only to those individuals that are at or near that geo-spatial location. In particular, providing safety factor data and alerts is a preferred use of the invention. The invention allows information to be tailored to the individual at that location by selectively filtering what is communicated and what is not. The system includes a transmitting proximity event server, a GPS client wireless component that can be a personal wireless communication device (such as Palm Pilot, cellular digital phones, etc.) or personal computer configured for use within a global position satellite network.
