Abstract

The present invention relates to a computer-implemented method of providing a location-based service to a mobile client device. The method comprises receiving the current location of the mobile client device; identifying establishments (e.g. restaurants, bars, pubs) within a predefined area around the current location of the mobile client device; and tracking the current location of one or more further mobile client devices. The method further comprises detecting if the current location of a further mobile client device is in the proximity of an identified establishment, such that the further mobile client device is considered to be located within the identified establishment; and counting the number of further mobile client devices in the proximity of each identified establishment to obtain a dynamic total of further mobile client devices at each of the identified establishments within the predefined area around the current location of the mobile client device. Finally, the method comprises displaying the dynamic total for each of the identified establishments on the mobile client device for viewing by a user (e.g. on a mapping interface).
