发明名称 Method for selection of events based on proximity
摘要 This invention provides a system for matching a user with an item in the nature of an activity, sporting or other event, or facility, referred to collectively as an ASEF, based on a request made by a user of the system. A database stores information related to the ASEF, such as the date, time and type of ASEF, along with the location of the ASEF. The database can represent the location of the ASEF in terms of latitude and longitude. The database can also include the latitude and longitude of each client user's position or have such user position location provided separately. When a client user interrogates the database, such as through a computer based server, with a request for information on a specific ASEF, the server not only supplies the available related ASEF information, but also calculates the distance from the client user's location to each of the ASEF's related to the user's request. If the client user requests that the activity lie within a given proximity, the server's program only outputs those activities within the user's requested proximity.
