METHOD AND APPLICATION FOR CONDUCTING REAL-TIME LOCATION-BASED DISTRIBUTED SEARCH

摘要

A system and method for providing location-based services on an electronic communications network. Mobile agents or programs for location-based services are propagated on the electronic communications network from a launch node using an echo pattern for network navigation. The mobile agents or programs for location-based services include a specification of a localization distance. The echo pattern propagation of the mobile agents or programs on the echo pattern is limited only to network nodes within the specified localization distance form the launch node.
