Abstract
A device may send registration information for a location dependent application that is associated with an area to a location dependent application information server device. The device may receive, from a user device that is within the area, a request for the location dependent application. In addition, the device may determine whether the location dependent application or an update for the location dependent application is to be uploaded to the user device, and upload the location dependent application or the update for the location dependent application to the user device when it is determined that the location dependent application or the update for the location dependent application is to be uploaded to the user device.
