A system and method is designed for accessing local merchandize information in a database. The merchandize database is organized with merchandize information which includes identifier of merchant, identifier of merchandize, position of merchandize, price of merchandize. The position of merchandize is a position coordination of Global Position System that provides an accurate and fast location search capability of the database. User of an end-user computer system (30) is able to search the database (14) by sendin query to a remote server computer system (10). The query includes a searching area, price range, and other search criteria. After receiving the query, the server computer system (10) then queries the database (14) and receives merchandize from the database query. The server computer (10) returns the search result to end-user computer system (30). The returned search result includes the information of merchant identifier, merchandize identifier, price of merchandize, and position of merchandize. The position of merchandize is a position coordination of Global Position System that could be further utilized by other Global Position System applications, for example route search and navigation.

L'invention porte sur un système et un procédé d'accès à des informations locales sur des marchandises, stockées dans une base de données identifiant le vendeur et la marchandise et fournissant la position de la marchandise et son prix. Ladite position est coordonnée avec le GPS ce qui permet une recherche rapide et précise dans la base de données. L'utilisateur d'un PC (30) consulte la base de données (14) en envoyant à un serveur informatique distant (10) une demande (14) indiquant la zone de recherche, la gamme de prix, et d'autres critères de recherche. Le serveur, au reçu de la demande questionne la base de données, en reçoit des informations sur la marchandise, et renvoie au PC (30) le résultat de la recherche qui contient l'identification du vendeur et de la marchandise, et la position de la marchandise et son prix. La position de la marchandise coordonnées avec le GPS peut être utilisée ultérieurement pour d'autres applications du GPS par exemple la recherche d'un itinéraire et la navigation.
