Abstract

See full text

A system and method that enables a LBS provider to provide a location-based marketplace for third-party businesses to market or advertise location- and/or need-based offers to users while keeping the users' information confidential from both the LBS provider and the third party businesses is provided. While the LBS provider is able to identify a user, it cannot learn his/her needs. The third party businesses can learn the user needs, but not the identity of the users with the need. A business can compare its target location for a marketing/advertising campaign to the user's location, such that it can learn when a user is currently at a target location. However, the business will fail to learn the identity of a user in the target location, or any information about the user's current location when outside of the target location.
