Abstract: In this nonprovisional utility patent application, we describe a system and method for enabling micro check-in, which is defined as the process by which a user can selectively reveal her location at a service point in order to obtain specific services from a service provider. The invention is characterized by three unique, novel, traits: (a) the check-in (location revelation) happens at a fine resolution not possible by GPS-based sensors, (b) definition of specific service points, and (c) provision of a service or utility at the service point or elsewhere by the service provider. This represents the novelty of the invention with respect to the prior art, and also allow several new uses described in this application. In one embodiment we describe a system and method for ordering food from a restaurant table using a smartphone. We also describe several other embodiments for a variety of domains.
