A plurality of user-defined parameters are received by a user input database with at least one of the user-defined parameters including a user profile. Each of the user profiles includes a user identifier code identifying a communicator device associated with a particular user. Real-time data indicative of the spatial locations of the communicator devices is received by a communicator location database. Search information is received independently from a plurality of vendors and a data set is generated for each vendor.
1. A method for providing information to a plurality of vendors located remotely from a broadcast network, comprising the steps of:
receiving a plurality of user-defined parameters by a user input database with at least one of the user-defined parameters including a user profile, each of the user profiles including a user identifier code identifying a communicator device associated with a particular user;
receiving real-time data indicative of the spatial locations of the communicator devices by a communicator location database;
receiving search information independently from a plurality of vendors;
generating a data set utilizing the search information for each of the plurality of vendors, each data set including user identifier codes from user profiles other than a user profile associated with the vendor; and
sending advertisements utilizing the user identifier codes to the communicator devices identified in the data sets.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the steps of:
