Therefore, the user needs to know exactly what he wants and how the product is positioned within a predetermined classification of products or services.

  • Example 3 The Searcher runs a vegetable shop. Unfortunately, this requires a lot of time and work because he is forced to go a vegetable marketplace distant by 150 km to obtain fresh vegetables. There are hundreds of sellers with a variety of goods. The whole is sited on a large area frequented by thousands of people, which makes it difficult to find necessary vegetables and to select the most advantageous price offer.
  • Using the system according to the invention in which he activates Buy / Sell section (also selects the scanning area, e.g. 800 metres), he selects goods and price range of interest to him. In this manner, he is able to find the most advantageous offer in a very short period of time, and to save money and time thanks to the built-in price comparison site.
  • the seller who submitted the best offer can be located thanks to GPS guiding on the map, telephone number or interactive chat.
  • the Searcher runs a construction company. He needs 10 new employees. Instead of placing his offer on the Internet or at the employment office, to make appointments and conduct telephone conversations with candidates, he launches the system according to the invention and selects Services/Job vacancies function. Then, he sets all the criteria for the offer. The area around him (while moving through the town) is continuously scanned, and people accidentally passing by who happened to search for such a job are able to make contact with the Searcher. Thanks to this interactive matching, the Offerors and the Searchers are able to talk about work in the street. This gives the Searcher an opportunity to have the first personal contact, so that he is able to assess whether the person suits him.
  • appointment can be replaced with an interactive chat or they can make an appointment at a given location.
  • the appointment can be determined by clicking on a point on the displayed map and specifying the time in a window. If the other person accepts the invitation to an interview, appropriate information will appear and he will be guided by the navigation system to the appointed place.
  • the Searcher plans to build a house. He plans to purchase specific hollow blocks to make certain parts of the building. When carrying out other tasks, e.g. he gets on a town bus which goes around the town, runs the application with the buy/sell section and selects the scanning area of e.g. 10 km. He also indicates the type of goods that interest him.
  • the system performed the operation of searching offers to buy hollow blocks for the Searcher, it continuously scanned the area, analysed and compared the offers, assessed the availability and chose the most advantageous offer. Now, he needs only to order by telephone the goods at the best price.
  • Example 6 The searcher wants to employ a graphic designer who would design graphic materials for a conference. The conference will take place in Berlin and he would like to find a graphic designer precisely from this city. The searcher currently stays in Warsaw. Using the system according to the invention, it is possible to search for interesting offers without excessive involvement. Having launched the system, the Searcher chooses category "looking for services" and enters the scanning location, e.g., Berlin with a search radius of 50 km. He enters, to the system, information that he is looking for a graphic designer and the type of graphic design work he is interested in. He determines also the price of the service in the range of 5,000 to 1,000 euros.
  • the system displays a map of Berlin and shows all the offers matched. The better matched ones are displayed in a shade of green, the less matched are in yellow. Each item shows the percentage of matching according to the system.
  • content of the offer made by the Offeror can be read. If it seems not relevant enough, the Searcher clicks a button indicating a poor matching, and at the same time, information that this offer is not relevant enough to the query is sent to the server. In the future, the offers will be better matched.
