Abstract
In accordance with this invention, a system and method of presenting and selecting information on providers of goods or services via a voice interactive device based upon a consumer's location are provided. A wireless indication of a consumer's location passed to such a system along with a detailed provider request. The system is then able to locate nearby providers that match said detailed provider request. Next, the nearby providers are prioritized according to a predetermined criteria, such as by distance, travel time, sponsorship or other possible criteria. The prioritized listing of nearby providers is then sent to the consumer. The consumer may then select a provider, whereupon the system, would return detailed information on the provider to the consumer. Additionally, the system may also respond with directions from the consumer's location to the selected provider.
