Patent ID: 8825368

Claim:
A method comprising: receiving, by a computer processor of a remote computing system from a mobile user via a mobile device, description data describing search requirements associated with a requested physical object to be located; generating, by said computer processor, a request associated with a real time search for said requested physical object associated with said description data; monitoring, by said computer processor, current locations of said mobile user; transmitting, by said computer processor, said request to a plurality of video data retrieval devices, wherein each video data retrieval device is located in a different location; receiving, by said computer processor in response to said request from said plurality of video data retrieval devices, video data associated with a plurality of physical objects associated with said requested physical object; receiving, by said computer processor, location data associated with an object location for each physical object of said plurality of physical objects; calculating, by said computer processor, distances between said current locations of said mobile user and each said object location for each said physical object; calculating, by said computer processor, a relative velocity between said mobile user and each said physical object; first determining, by said computer processor based on each said relative velocity, that a first group of physical objects of said plurality of physical objects are moving away from said mobile user; second determining, by said computer processor based on each said relative velocity, that a second group of physical objects of said plurality of physical objects are moving towards said mobile user, wherein said generating said recommendations are further based on said first determining and said second determining; generating, by said computer processor based on said first determining, said second determining, each distance of said distances, and each said relative velocity, recommendations associated with traveling to view each said physical object; and presenting, by said computer processor to said mobile user, said recommendations.
