Methods for geographic gesturing using a mobile device for interactions with nearby other mobile devices

1. A method of transaction processing, comprising:

obtaining geogesture parameters based on a geogesture an initiator device of an initiator, wherein the geogesture comprises an orientational movement of the initiator device in a geographical location of the initiator device;

computing a geogesture area based at least part on the geogesture parameters, wherein the geogesture area corresponds to a geographical area in the geographical location based on the geogesture;

determining a geographical offset of the initiator device in the geographical location based at least part on the geogesture area and the geogesture parameters;

adjusting the geogesture area to include the geographical offset of the initiator device;

querying a POI database system for a matching set of POIs, wherein a POI of the matching set of POIs is a matching POI matching the geogesture area when a POI location of the POI is at least partly within the geogesture area and meets a matching requirement;

providing the matching set of POIs, or information thereof, to the initiator device or a designee;

identifying a selected POI from the matching set of POIs;

identifying a potential respondent device of a potential respondent associated with the selected POI;

determining whether the potential respondent is to proceed with a transaction with the initiator and be a respondent, wherein the respondent interacts via a respondent device;

obtaining transaction details from the initiator device, the respondent device, or both; and

processing the transaction.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the respondent device is a mobile device.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the respondent device is a business computer operated by or for the respondent.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein processing the transaction comprises:

determining parameters of a payment network;

obtaining payment network details;

formulating a payment network transaction; and

emitting the payment network transaction into the payment network.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying the selected POI from the matching set of POIs is based on initiator device input.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying the selected POI from the matching set of POIs is based on which of a plurality of potential respondent devices respond to a transaction initiation request from the initiator device.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transaction details are a function of one or more of time of day, season, weather, a number of times an initiator device had interacted with the selected POI or a respondent entity of the selected POI, demographics of the initiator, and/or demographics of the potential respondent or an actual respondent.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the matching requirement is that the POI location and a location of the geogesture overlap geographically.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein a POI location of the selected POI of the initiator device and a location of the respondent device are variable and stored in the POI database system.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the geographical area is a bounded 2D geographical area with a vertical boundary based on the geographical location of the initiator device.
