LOCATION-BASED SERVICES

摘要

Provided herein are methods and systems relating to location-based services such as providing a geofence, outputting location-based information on a mobile device, varying transmissions to and from a mobile device, and providing location-based alerts. More specifically, a method can include obtaining a first physical location of a mobile device; and generating a geofence on the mobile device based on the first physical location. The methods and systems also provide the capability to generate a geofence based on one or more physical locations of a mobile device over a course of time.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method for defining a geofence using a mobile device, the method comprising:
obtaining, electronically using one or more sensors on the mobile device, a first datum, the first datum representing a past or present physical location of the mobile device; and generating, on the mobile device and in response to obtaining the first datum, a geofence based on the first datum.
