1. A method comprising:
- receiving a plurality of geo-fence extent factors, a plurality of extents, and a plurality of violation responses associated with a geo-fence;
determining a location of a user with respect to an activation area corresponding to one or more geo-fences;
detecting a first geo-fence extent factor of the plurality of geo-fence extent factors, associated with the user;
determining whether the first geo-fence extent factor associated with the user is within the activation area;
selecting a first extent for a first geo-fence that corresponds to the first geo-fence extent factor associated with the user, in response to determining the first geo-fence extent factor associated with the user is within the activation area;
determining whether the first extent of the first geo-fence is violated; and
responsive to determining that the first geo-fence is violated, performing a violation response, of the plurality of violation responses, corresponding to the first geo-fence extent factor.
