Patent ID: 8010131

Claim:
A computer-implemented method for enabling interactive wireless communication between at least two mobile devices, the method comprising: affiliating at least one first mobile device and at least one second mobile device with an interactive network comprising a plurality of members associated therewith, associating at least one first interactive pairing criterion with the first mobile device, wherein the first interactive pairing criterion corresponds to at least one prospective wireless match, associating at least one second interactive pairing criterion with a second mobile device, determining whether the first and second interactive pairing criterion at least partially coincide with one another upon determining, using at least one global positioning system, the first and second mobile devices are disposed in a geographic proximity to one another, establishing a communication channel between the first mobile device and the second mobile device for communication therebetween; and upon disposition of the first and second mobile devices in the geographic proximity to one another, automatically querying the second mobile device to determine whether the first and second interactive pairing criterion coincide with one another; providing a series of successive automatic queries to the second mobile device to determine whether the first and second interactive pairing criterion coincide with one another upon disposition of the first and second mobile devices in a geographic proximity to one another; and graphically displaying on the first mobile device a location of a plurality of second mobile devices disposed in a proximate relation thereto.
