1. A method for generating alerts, the method comprising:
- receiving, by an alert processing apparatus, preference information to generate an alert indicating occurrence of an event, wherein the preference comprises location information of an event;
determining, by the alert processing apparatus, location information of the alert processing apparatus;
comparing, by the alert processing apparatus, the location information of the alert processing apparatus and the location information associated with the event; and
generating, by the alert processing apparatus, an alert when the location information of the alert processing apparatus matches the location information associated with the event and based on the preference.

Abstract
A method of generating alerts comprising the steps of receiving preference information to generate an alert indicating occurrence of an event, wherein the preference comprises location information of an event and determining location information of a mobile device. The location information is used for comparing the location information of the mobile device and the location information associated with the event. Subsequently generating an alert when the location information of the mobile device matches the location information associated with the event and based on the preference.
