Abstract:

A process for locationally sorting and filtering mobile applications at a geographical level, utilizing location-specific information is disclosed. The ability to filter categories among location-specific displayed application results in an interface creates much greater additional value to consumers, as they can quickly and easily screen applications pertaining to “Dating,” “Transportation” or other categories near them, where both location and underlying functionality are equally important. Additionally, browsing is encouraged under this system, as users do not have to continually enter new terms and hit search to generate new application search results.
