Abstract
For location-based communication with mobile devices, a condition is received, at a device associated with a caller, where the condition has to be satisfied by a callee at a past location, the past location being a place where different callees with different mobile devices are present at different times. At the device associated with the caller, an instruction is received for making a telecommunication call to a mobile device of a potential callee in a set of potential callees, where each mobile device associated with each potential callee in set of potential callees was present at the past location at a past time, and where each potential callee in the set of potential callees satisfies the condition at the past location. Using a processor and a memory in the device associated with the caller, the telecommunication call is initiated to mobile devices associated with a subset of potential callees.
