System and method for enhanced wireless communication features
First Claim
1. A computer program product comprising a computer useable medium having computer program logic recorded thereon for enabling a processor in a computer system to request information based on locational information of a user, said computer program logic comprising:
- computer program code means for accepting an information request from a user of a wireless communication device;
computer program code means, local to the user, that prompts the user, prior to a forwarding of the information request, to refine the information request prior to the accepting the information request;
computer program code means for determining locational information of said wireless communication device;
computer program code means for forwarding said information request and said locational information to a server via a wireless communications link;
computer program code means for receiving from said server a real-time, optimized response to said information request, wherein said server compiles said optimized response based on said locational information, said information request, and the refinement, and wherein said response is transmitted to said receiver without interaction from said user.

Abstract
A wireless communication apparatus capable of providing information requests includes a wireless communication device having a wireless transceiver configured to send and receive communications across a wireless communication network. A hands-free unit can be included and coupled to the wireless communication device. The hands-free unit includes a speaker and a microphone configured to provide audio information to a user and to accept audio information from the user. A position determination system determines a location of the apparatus and provides position data indicative of such location to a server along with the information request. The server can process the information request along with the position information and provide a response to the request to the wireless communication apparatus.
