Abstract
A tool for augmenting and customizing business transaction processes uses the communication capability and functionality of a geolocation system to embed information associated with a transaction of a tagged object within the spread spectrum signals used to geolocate the object. This enables an ancillary transaction controller, separate from the geolocation system, to focus or target one or more transactions with respect to the tagged object, which may be an individual, such as a customer, patient, client, or the like of an institution in which the geolocation system is installed.
