Geofence Information Delivery Systems and Methods
First Claim
1. A method for requesting information for at least one geofence by at least one device having a processor coupled with a memory, constructed and configured for wireless communication, and programmed to include a fencing agent operable to query for geofence information over a network to at least one server computer, comprising the steps of:
- generating a request for geofence information for a region of interest (ROI);
receiving in near real-time geofence information corresponding to the ROI;
wherein the geofence information includes identification of at least one geofence.

18. A system for requesting information for at least one geofence by at least one device within a geofence, comprising:
-
the at least one device having a processor coupled with a memory, constructed and configured for wireless communication, and programmed to include a fencing agent operable to query for geofence information over a network to at least one server computer associated with a geofence database; the geofence database including at least one registered geofence having a class and at least one entitlement and/or at least one license; and a geofence manager module for implementing rules on the at least one device, wherein the geofence manager module is operable to confirm and/or activate the at least one license associated with the geofence in the geofence database. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
