METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR OBTAINING INFORMATION

摘要

A predetermined geographic region is associated with a building offering goods or services. The region has a shape and size chosen depending upon the type and/or location of the building to define a region of relevance of the building. Probe data is used to identify probe devices which enter the region, and to include the devices in a database. The database is provided to someone wishing to promote the services or goods provided by the building to enable promotional material to be sent to users associated with the devices. As the devices were found in the predetermined region, the users are considered to be potential local users of the building.
