Mobile device proximity notification
First Claim
1. A method for mobile computing device proximity notification, the method comprising:
- acquiring, by one or more processors, location information for a plurality of mobile computing devices;
creating, by one or more processors, a first group of mobile computing devices based on location proximity in the acquired location information of the plurality of mobile computing devices, wherein the created first group includes a first mobile computing device and a second mobile computing device;
determining, by one or more processors, whether the first mobile computing device is within a predetermined distance to the second mobile computing device, and the first mobile computing device and the second mobile computing device are outside of an area associated with the first group;
counting, by one or more processors, a number of detections of a third mobile computing device within the area associated with the first group; and
determining, by one or more processors, whether to add the third mobile computing device to the first group based on comparing the number of detections of the third mobile computing device to a predetermined threshold.
