1. A geolocation home range management system, comprising:
- a geolocation home range manager comprising a mobile computing device that is carried by a user, and a computer program having a plurality of sub-programs executable by said computing device, wherein the sub-programs configure said computing device to,continuously track a current geolocation of the user as they travel to different geolocations,based upon said continuous tracking, establish an initial geolocation home range for the user with a union of a plurality of two-dimensional micro-ranges, wherein each of the two-dimensional micro-ranges is defined by said continuous tracking and corresponds to a particular geolocation the user traveled to, wherein the plurality of two-dimensional micro-ranges define one or more geographically distinct geo-fenced geographic regions, andwhenever the current geolocation of the user changes in a prescribed manner, modify the initial geolocation home range for the user based upon said change.

Abstract
A geolocation home range for a user is managed. The user'"'"'s geolocation is tracked and recorded periodically, as the user travels to different geolocations. An initial collection of geolocations is established, which defines the user'"'"'s home range. Each of the geolocations corresponds to a micro-range for the user, which is a geo-fenced geographic region. When the user'"'"'s current geolocation changes in a prescribed manner, the user'"'"'s home range is modified based upon this change, or else the user is considered to be outside their home range.

17. A geolocation home range management system, comprising:
-
a geolocation home range manager comprising one or more computing devices, said computing devices being in communication with each other via a computer network whenever there is a plurality of computing devices, and a computer program having a plurality of sub-programs executable by said computing devices, wherein the sub-programs configure said computing devices to, continuously track a current geolocation of a user as they travel to different geolocations, based upon said continuous tracking, establish an initial geolocation home range for the user with a union of a plurality of two-dimensional micro-ranges, wherein each of the two-dimensional micro-ranges is defined by said continuous tracking and corresponds to a particular geolocation the user traveled to, wherein the plurality of two-dimensional micro-ranges define one or more geographically distinct geo-fenced geographic regions, and whenever the current geolocation of the user changes in a prescribed manner, modify the initial geolocation home range for the user based upon said change. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)

20. A computer-implemented geolocation home range management process comprising the actions of:
-
using one or more computing devices to perform the following process actions, the computing devices being in communication with each other via a computer network whenever a plurality of computing devices is used; continuously tracking a current geolocation of a user as they travel to different geolocations; based upon said continuous tracking, establish an initial geolocation home range for the user with a union of a plurality of two-dimensional micro-ranges, wherein each of the two-dimensional micro-ranges is defined by said continuous tracking and corresponds to a particular geolocation the user traveled to, wherein the plurality of two-dimensional micro-ranges define one or more geographically distinct geo-fenced geographic regions, and whenever the current geolocation of the user changes in a prescribed manner, modifying the initial geolocation home range for the user based upon said change.
