Abstract
Access to digital data is provided based on a specific location of a receiver device. In one embodiment, for each one of a plurality of digital files, a location identity is received, where the location identity includes a location value (e.g., a geographical location) and a proximity value (e.g., a geographical region in relation to the geographical location), thereby defining a particular area. A location of a receiver device (e.g., operated by a user) is then received (e.g., in response to a query) and used to select at least one of the plurality of digital files (e.g., one that matches the users location). The selected file (i.e., selected digital data or selected content) is then provided to the receiver device.
