Abstract:
1. A method for communication information between processors coupled to a communications network, dependent on geographic location of one of the processors, the method comprising: receiving a request for access to selected information from a first processor at a second processor; receiving location data corresponding to the geographic location of the first processor; receiving time information associated with the time at which the location data is generated; determining, from the location data and the time information, whether the geographic location of the first processor is within one or more first and second predefined regions; and controlling access to information by the first processor by applying a set of rules such that in an event that the geographic location of the first processor is determined to be within a first predefined region and the time information is within a preselected period of time at which the location data is received by the second processor, the first processor is provided with access to selected information only if a further predefined condition is met, and in the event that the first processor is determined to be within a second region and the time information is within the preselected period of time at which the location data is received by the second processor, the first processor is provided access to the selected information without requiring the further condition to be met.
