Systems and methods for administering policies for physical locations
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for administering policies for physical locations, at least a portion of the computer-implemented method being performed by a computing device comprising at least one processor, the computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving verification that a source is authorized to provide mobile-computing-device policies specific to a first physical location;
receiving a first mobile-computing-device policy specific to the first physical location;
identifying the first physical location, wherein identifying the first physical location comprises at least one of receiving, from the source, a set of geographical coordinates of the first physical location, receiving, from the source, boundaries of the first physical location, and/or receiving, from the source, an address of the first physical location;
associating the first mobile-computing-device policy with the first physical location such that the first mobile-computing-device policy is implemented while a mobile-computing device is located within the first physical location;
determining that the mobile-computing device is located within the first physical location;
implementing the first mobile-computing-device policy at the first physical location in response to the mobile-computing device being located within the first physical location.

Abstract
A method for receiving verification that a source is authorized to provide mobile-computing-device policies for a first physical location. The method may include receiving a first mobile-computing-device policy and identifying the first physical location. The method may also include associating the first mobile-computing-device policy with the first physical location and implementing, based on the verification, the first mobile-computing-device policy at the first physical location. Systems and computer-readable media for verifying that a source is authorized to provide mobile-computing-device policies for a first physical location are also disclosed.

12. A system for administering policies for physical locations, the system comprising:
-
a verification mechanism configured to verify that a source is authorized to provide mobile-computing-device policies specific to a first physical location, wherein the verification mechanism is configured to perform at least one of receiving, from the source, a set of geographical coordinates of the first physical location, receiving, from the source, boundaries of the first physical location, and/or receiving, from the source, an address of the first physical location; a policy module configured to receive a first mobile-computing-device policy specific to the first physical location; a location module configured to identify the first physical location; a policy-location-information database configured to store policy information; an implementation module configured to enforce the first mobile-computing-device policy on a mobile-computing device located at the first physical location in response to the mobile-computing device being located within the first physical location; at least one hardware processor configured to execute the policy module, the location module, and the implementation module. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A non-transitory computer-readable-storage medium comprising one or more computer-executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a mobile-computing device, cause the mobile-computing device to:
-
receive verification that a source is authorized to provide mobile-computing-device policies specific to a first physical location; receive a first mobile-computing-device policy specific to the first physical location; identify the first physical location; associate the first mobile-computing-device policy with the first physical location such that the first mobile-computing-device policy is implemented while the mobile-computing device is located within the first physical location; implement the first mobile-computing-device policy at the first physical location in response to the mobile-computing device being located within the first physical location; receive a set of geographical coordinates that corresponds to a sub-region within the first physical location; receive a second mobile-computing-device policy; associate the second mobile-computing-device policy with the sub-region.
