Wi-Fi BASED GEO-LOCATION CONNECTIVITY

Abstract

A wireless device capable of matching a user with content based on the user's proximity to other users, by searching for a match between profiles of wireless devices within a wireless coverage area. Wireless devices broadcast profiles within a wireless coverage area. Other wireless devices within the wireless coverage area receive the broadcasted profiles, determine a match between the received profile and a profile stored on the wireless device, and display a match indicator if a match is determined. In this manner, a user having a wireless device may be matched with content based on the user's proximity to other users.

1 . A wireless device comprising:
 a processor; and   a non-transitory storage medium, wherein instructions are tangibly stored on the non-transitory storage medium, and wherein the instructions are executable by the processor to
 transmit a beacon to an access point within a wireless coverage area, wherein the beacon includes a first profile of the wireless device, and wherein the first profile is forwarded from the access point within the wireless coverage area to a server to enable the server to compare the first profile with a second profile stored on the server, and 
 based on the server determining a match between (i) the first profile and (ii) the second profile, obtain a wireless network connection to connect the wireless device with the server, wherein the first profile includes one or more of (i) a list of product identification, (ii) a price that a user of the wireless device desires to pay for one or more products, and (iii) a shopping history of a user of the wireless device. 
   
     
     
         2 . The wireless device of  claim 1 , wherein the first profile includes the list of product identification and a corresponding list of price. 
     
     
         3 . The wireless device of  claim 1 , wherein the instructions are further executable by the processor to process one or more applications with respect to the first profile. 
     
     
         4 . The wireless device of  claim 3 , wherein the one or more applications include a social networking application. 
     
     
         5 . The wireless device of  claim 4 , wherein:
 the first profile comprises a first personal profile of a first user of the wireless device; and   the instructions are further executable by the processor to determine a match between personal profiles of users within the social networking application by comparing personal preferences and attributes of the first personal profile of the first user of the wireless device with personal preferences and attributes of a second personal profile of a second user of the wireless device.   
     
     
         6 . The wireless device of  claim 4 , wherein the instructions are further executable by the processor to:
 exchange information between the wireless device and at least one other wireless device via a network connection;   create a chat session between the wireless device and the at least one other wireless device via the network connection; and   store a personal profile of a user of the at least one other wireless device.   
     
     
         7 . The wireless device of  claim 3 , wherein the one or more applications include classified sale applications. 
     
     
         8 . The wireless device of  claim 1 , wherein the wireless device is one of a cellular phone, a laptop, and a special purpose wireless device. 
     
     
         9 . The wireless device of  claim 8 , wherein the special purpose wireless device includes a universal serial bus (USB) interface, an embedded wireless system, and a display. 
     
     
         10 . A method comprising:
 transmitting, from a wireless device to an access point, a beacon within a wireless coverage area, wherein the beacon includes a first profile of the wireless device, and wherein the first profile is forwarded from the access point within the wireless coverage area to a server to enable the server to compare attributes of the first profile with attributes of a second profile stored on the server;   based on the server determining a match between (i) the first profile and (ii) the second profile, obtaining, by the wireless device, a wireless network connection to connect the wireless device with the server; and   wherein the first profile includes one or more of (i) a list of product identification, (ii) a price that a user of the wireless device desires to pay for one or more products, and (iii) a shopping history of a user of the wireless device.   
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , further comprising processing, by the wireless device, one or more applications with respect to the first profile. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the one or more applications include a social networking application. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the first profile comprises a first personal profile of a first user of the wireless device, and wherein the method further comprises:
 determining, by the wireless device, a match between personal profiles of users within a social networking application by comparing personal preferences and attributes of the first personal profile of the first user of the wireless device with personal preferences and attributes of a second personal profile of a second user of the wireless device.   
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 12 , further comprising:
 exchanging, by the wireless device, information with at least one other wireless device via a network connection;   creating, by the wireless device, a chat session with the at least one other wireless device via the network connection; and   storing, by the wireless device, a personal profile of a user of the at least one other wireless device.   
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the one or more applications include classified sale applications. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the wireless device is one of a cellular phone, a laptop, and a special purpose wireless device. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the special purpose wireless device includes a universal serial bus (USB) interface, an embedded wireless system, and a display
