Abstract

See full text

Users and vendors are matched. A request from a mobile wireless device of a user is received that relates to a business service. The request is matched against vendors providing the business service to yield one or more vendors currently locationally near the user and that are currently accepting service calls for the business service. A response is sent to the mobile wireless device of the user, with identities of the vendors that are locationally near the user and that are currently accepting service calls for the business service. The current location of the user may be determined based on the user's mobile wireless device. The current location of each vendor may be determined based on that provider's mobile wireless device. Whether each vendor providing the business service requested is currently accepting service calls is determined based on previously provided information by the provider.
