Patent ID: 7218938

Claim:
A computer-implemented method comprising: retrieving at least a first piece of location-designating information from a location-designating device, the location-designating information identifying the location of the location-designating device, and being associated with a time; transforming the first piece of location-designating information into a first label for identifying the location; and retrieving a first piece of location-related information related to the first piece of location-designating information; wherein the label is typically a name of the location, and the label is stored in a memory device to allow the process of transforming to access it, and wherein the method further comprises: retrieving a second and a third piece of location-designating information from the location-designating device, which identify the locations of the location-designating device at later times than the time associated with the first piece of location-designating information, all three pieces of location-designating information being different from each other, and the second and the third piece of location-designating information being coupled to a corresponding second and third piece of location-related information respectively, transforming the second and the third pieces of location-designating information into a second and a third label, the second label being the same as the first label and the third label being different from the first label, and presenting the first and the third label chronologically to show the change in location of the location-designating device as a function of time, and presenting the first piece of location-related information and the third piece of location-related information, but not presenting at least a portion of the second piece of location-related information.
