Abstract:
1. A computer implemented method for rendering time sensitive responses to a query associated with a target location, comprising: providing a first client application executable by at least one processor on a requesting device of a requesting user, and a second client application executable by at least one processor on a responding device of each of a plurality of responding users; providing a query-response management server comprising at least one processor configured to render said time sensitive responses to said query associated with said target location, wherein said query-response management server communicates with said first client application on said requesting device and said second client application on said responding device via a network; receiving said query from said first client application on said requesting device of said requesting user by said query-response management server via said network, wherein said query comprises information on said target location; dynamically retrieving location information and activity information of each of said responding users by said query-response management server via said network; identifying one or more of said responding users proximal to said target location extracted from said received query, by said query-response management server based on said dynamically retrieved location information and said activity information; transmitting said received query to said second client application on said responding device of each of said identified one or more of said responding users by said query-response management server via said network; receiving and aggregating responses to said transmitted query from said second client application on said responding device of each of one or more of said identified one or more of said responding users by said query-response management server via said network; and rendering said aggregated responses to said first client application on said requesting device of said requesting user by said query-response management server via said network.
