1. A method of providing check-in information from a mobile computer device to a check-in enabled network, the method comprising:
wirelessly providing check-in information from the mobile computer device to the check-in enabled network, the mobile computer device comprising a processor and a memory that stores the check-in information, wherein at least one of the processor and the check-in enabled network:
electronically recognizes, by using at least one of (i) GPS, (ii) multi-lateration of radio signals, (iii) cell tower triangulation, (iv) WiFi positioning, and (v) a short-range wireless technology standard, when the mobile computer device is within a sufficient physical proximity to an entity associated with the check-in enabled network;
based on a location of the mobile computer device, allows the mobile computer device to interact with the check-in enabled network; and
communicates the check-in information with the check-in enabled network when the mobile computer device is within the sufficient physical proximity to the check-in enabled network to alert at least one of the entity and the check-in enabled network of an arrival of a user of the mobile computer device,
wherein the check-in information comprises a unique identifier that is configured to be sent to an information repository and to be used to retrieve pre-stored information relating to the user from the information repository,
wherein the information repository participates in a query to retrieve at least a portion of the pre-stored information in response to the information repository receiving the unique identifier, and
wherein the information repository transfers the at least the portion of the pre-stored information to the entity in response to the query.
