Abstract
A communications system and method for communicating geographic location-based information to a client computer operating in a communications network is disclosed. The system involves the use of a geographic location-based records database, a client profile database containing at least one user preference, a means for receiving at least one request from a client computer, the request including information about a location of the client computer, and a means for parsing the request to identify the location of the client computer. The system and method involve identifying a set of information records from the database that are relevant to the location of the client computer and the user's preferences, an algorithm that computes a statistical result from the information records, and a communications network for communicating the result to the client computer.
