Abstract:
A device is provided to receive, from a first device, a request for a product or service, determine a first geographic location of the first device, and identify a second device that is located in a geographic region associated with the first geographic location. The second device may be associated with a user that is capable of providing the product or service. The device may provide, to the first device, information regarding a second geographic location of the second device. The information may specify an obfuscated second geographic location without revealing the second geographic location. The device may also receive, from the first device, an instruction to provide the request to the second device, provide the request to the second device, receive an acceptance of the request from the second device, and provide, to the second device, data indicating the first geographic location of the first device.
