Systems and methods for determining to use geo-fencing by using straight-line distances between locations

摘要

Systems and methods are described herein for determining whether a user device is within a geofenced region using lower powered location tracking techniques. In one instance, the user device may determine the minimum distances to geofenced regions. The user device may track the distance between locations and compare those distances to the minimum distances to determine the likelihood the user device is within one of the geofenced regions.

1. A system, comprising:
at least one memory that stores computer-executable instructions; and at least one processor that executes the computer-executable instructions to:
determine a first location of a user device associated with the system;determine geographic boundaries of one or more regions;determine minimum distances between the user device and a portion of the one or more of the regions;determine a second location of the user device;determine a distance between the first location and the second location; anddetermine the user device is within one of the one or more regions when the distance between the first location and the second location meets a predetermined criteria with reference to the minimum distances and the distance between the first location and the second location.
