Patent number: 10009390Abstract: The disclosure is directed to a system and method for sharing, broadcasting, or publishing information by a user from a location in real-time and allowing one or more users near that location to directly respond to and directly communicate with the sharing, broadcasting, or publishing user. A computing device, for example, may receive a request for assistance from a first user computing device and determine a geographical location corresponding to the first user computing device. The computing device may publish the geographical location. The computing device may also receive a response to the request for assistance from a second user computing device and may determine whether the response indicates a request to establish communication with the first user computing device. Based on the determination, the computing device may establish direction communication between the first user computing device and the second user computing device.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2016Date of Patent: June 26, 2018Assignee: Hashington GCVInventor: Christophe Laurent
