Abstract

See full text

A location-based and preference-based system and method for matching information such as the attributes and/or characteristics profiles of restaurants with the expressed preferences of mobile users to alert and direct such users to any restaurants having information matching the user's express preferences. The system and method also permits users to submit restaurant reviews that may be accessed by others for the matching restaurants. In particular, the system comprises a mobile device such as a GPS-capable PDA that stores the user's preferences and communicates with a server that contains or accesses the profiles of the restaurants to compare the profiles and preferences. Comparison of the user's preferences with the various profiles allows the user only to be informed of those restaurants that it is likely to be interested in, while providing access to third party reviews of the restaurants. The system and method thus provides for a mobile real-time point of interest exchange network.
