Abstract: Global Positioning System (GPS), Personal Data Assistant (PDA), and wireless communications are combines in order to create a more personalized advertising experience. The invention creates and presents advertising content founded on individual user profiles integrated with the physical geographic location of a consumer. The invention solves the problem of advertising tailored so that it is appropriate to both the user and their current location by including a customer's profile and his/her current location into the advertising message. Also, the invention integrates location tracking, e.g. GPS technology, with a personal electronic calendaring system. Further, an advertising message is more personalized by using a relative address/directions that start from the current customer's location. This information could be provided in the form of driving directions, using the current physical position of the user as a start address.

Abstract: A system and associated method that allow particular requests to be executed at some point in the future without specifying the exact time or necessarily a precise location. The execution time of the request is linked to the arrival of a person or object at, or near a geographic destination location. When a person, an object, or a group of persons or objects, arrives at the destination location, or comes close to it, the request to interact will be executed. The proximity threshold can be adjustable or programmable.

Abstract: A processing unit, computer program and method of sharing queries in a hub processing unit (102a-y) coupled to a plurality of information processing units (101a-n) over a network 100, comprising the steps of: receiving a string from a user; determining if the string is a query; if the string is a query performing the sub-steps of: storing the query in an information processing unit; and forwarding the query to a hub processing unit in the event that the user selects a query for sharing. A method and server is also disclosed which is characterised by receiving a query selected for sharing; storing the query; means for searching through queries by a second user; upon finding an interesting shared query by the second user, performing the further sub-steps of: activating a hyperlink to request a search result set upon selection of the hyperlink; and displaying the search result set for a users review.
