A user device may receive selection of a type of a location-based proximity notification, and may receive a device parameter, a message parameter, and a location parameter for the selected notification type. The user device may detect that the user device is proximate to a location defined by the location parameter, and may provide a proximity notification message, defined by the message parameter, to a device defined by the device parameter, when the user device is proximate to the location. |

1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a mobile device, a location-based proximity notification application; presenting, by the mobile device and using the application, a first user interface to select a type of a location-based proximity notification from a group of types of location-based proximity notifications, wherein the group of types of location-based proximity notifications includes a message for display via a set-top box; receiving, by the mobile device and from a user via the first user interface, selection of a type of a location-based proximity notification; presenting, by the mobile device and based on receiving the selection of the type of the location-based proximity notification, a second user interface to solicit one or more parameters for the selected type of the location-based proximity notification, wherein the second user interface is selected from a group of different user interfaces for particular types of location-based proximity notifications, and wherein the group of different user interfaces includes a user interface for a message for display via the set-top box; receiving, by the mobile device and from the user via the second user interface:
a medium parameter for a recipient medium associated with a recipient,a message parameter including a message to be provided,a time parameter including when the location-based proximity notification is to be generated, anda location parameter for generating the location-based proximity notification,wherein the location parameter indicates a particular amount of travel time to a location;
detecting, by the mobile device, that the mobile device is within the particular amount of travel time to the location as defined by the location parameter; and sending, by the mobile device and using the application, the location-based proximity notification as defined by the message parameter, to the recipient medium as defined by the medium parameter, when the mobile device detects that a current time is within the time parameter and the mobile device is within the location parameter that indicates the particular amount of travel time to the location, wherein the location-based proximity notification indicates the particular amount of travel time to the location. |
