MOBILE NETWORK BASED GEOFENCING
First Claim
1. A system for managing a geofence of a mobile device in a network, the system comprising:
- a memory; and
a processor communicatively coupled to the memory, wherein the system performs a method comprising;
based on identifying a geofence associated with a mobile device or a user of the mobile device, registering the identified geofence with a network component;
identifying, to a first granularity, a first location for the identified geofence;
monitoring, to a second granularity, a location of the mobile device, wherein the first granularity is more coarse-grained than the second granularity; and
based on the mobile device triggering the geofence, pushing a notification to a first application operable with the mobile device to facilitate performing an operation associated with the geofence.

Abstract
Managing a geofence of a mobile device in a network is provided, which includes: identifying, by a first application operable with the mobile device, the geofence associated with the mobile device or a user of the mobile device; based on identifying the geofence, registering the identified geofence with a network component; identifying, to a first granularity, a first location for the identified geofence; monitoring, to a second granularity, a location of the mobile device, where the first granularity is more coarse-grained than the second granularity; and based on the mobile device triggering the geofence, pushing a notification to the application; and based on receiving the notification, performing an operation associated with the geofence.

31. A computer program product for managing a geofence of a mobile device in a network, the computer program product comprising:
a computer-readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions being executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform a method comprising; based on identifying a geofence associated with a mobile device or a user of the mobile device, registering the identified geofence with a network component; identifying to a first granularity, a first location for the identified geofence; monitoring to a second granularity, a location of the mobile device, wherein the first granularity is more coarse-grained than the second granularity; and based on the mobile device triggering the geofence, pushing a notification to a first application operable with the mobile device to facilitate performing an operation associated with the geofence.
