GEOLOCATION CHECK-IN SYSTEM

摘要

Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods and computer program products for providing a geolocation check-in system. An exemplary apparatus is configured to collect positioning data related to a user. After collecting position data the apparatus may be configure to determine, based at least partially on the positioning data that the user has crossed a threshold of a geofence associated with a merchant's location. Based at least partially on this determination the apparatus may be configured to initiate a merchant check-in associated with the user and transmit user information to the merchant.

主权项

1. A computer program product for providing a geolocation check-in system, the computer program product comprising:
a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising a set of codes for causing a computer to:
determine a likely route of travel of a user, wherein determining the likely route of travel is determined based on analyzing social network feeds associated with the user, wherein the social network feeds provide an indication of the likely route of travel of the user;collect, from a computing device associated with the user, positioning data related to the user, wherein the positioning data comprises a location of the user along the likely route of travel, and wherein the positioning data is determined by the computing device interfacing with a global positioning system;identify a threshold of a geofence associated with a merchant's location;determine whether the likely route of travel of the user will cross the threshold of the geofence associated with the merchant;determine, based at least partially on the positioning data, that the user has crossed the threshold of the geofence associated with the merchant's location;transmit a communication to the user requesting the user to check-in with a social media site associated with the merchant;receive a verification that the user desires to check-in with the merchant;initiate a check-in with the social network associated with the merchant; andtransmit information associated with the user to the merchant.
