Abstract: A method for interactively providing information to a user over a network, including: transmitting a stream of data from a server to a first user device through the network and displaying the stream of data on the first user device; receiving a first location information of the first user device through a first beacon signal from a first beacon installed on the first user device and including the first user location information in the stream of data sent to the first user device; receiving a preference information of a first user from the first user device over the network; and sending a stream of data related to the preference information of the first user to the first user device based on the first user location information of the first user device.

Abstract: The invention is system and method for extending social networking features to a map based system Social Navigation. It is called MySocialGPS where one can use Active Maps to locate friends, locate social activities, and send Active Messages, Plan Social Activities and Socialize. In addition to regular social networking features, a Beacon ID is generated by the system to enable social mapping on the Social GPS “SGPS” of Friends, Businesses, Places, Events and Deals. The Beacon ID enables enhanced GPS functionality enabling a Friend location to become a destination. The proposed system will have coupons and deals from merchant partners. The system provides a portal for merchants to upload their deals and coupons. MySocialGPS has a deals-events search engine, which connects to the other websites, retrieves and consolidates Featured Places, Events and Deals then displays them on the Social GPS Map for its users.
