Geographic position based reward system
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of rewarding a user based on compliance with predetermined geographic limitations comprising:
- receiving from a first user and storing an indication of at least one geographic area comprising an indication of a dynamic geographic area determinable as a function of a device position;
receiving mobile device location information of a user mobile device associated with a second user from at least one of the user mobile device and a remote telecommunication carrier server in communication with the user mobile device;
receiving mobile device location information of another user mobile device;
determining the dynamic geographic area based on a position of the another user mobile device;
modifying the dynamic geographic area based on a change in a position of the another user mobile device;
comparing the mobile device location information of the user mobile device associated with the second user with the indication of the at least one geographic area comprising the indication of the dynamic geographic area; and
transmitting an indication of a reward to the user mobile device associated with the second user as a notification based on at least one of the user mobile device associated with the second user entering and exiting the dynamic geographic area as indicated by the mobile device location information.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method of rewarding a user based on compliance with predetermined geographic limitations is provided. The method includes receiving from a first user and storing an indication of one or more geographic areas. Mobile device location information of a user mobile device associated with a second user is received from the user mobile device or a remote telecommunication carrier server in communication with the user mobile device. The mobile device location information is compared with the indication of the one or more geographic areas. An indication of a reward is transmitted to the user mobile device based on the comparison of the mobile device location information and the indication of the one or more geographic areas. Systems for rewarding a user based on compliance with predetermined geographic limitations are also provided.

29. A computer-implemented method of rewarding a user based on compliance with predetermined geographic limitations comprising:
-
receiving from a first user an indication of a predetermined period of time; receiving from the first user and storing an indication of at least one allowable dynamic geographic area, wherein at least one of a position and a shape of the at least one allowable dynamic geographic area is changeable during the predetermined period of time and determinable as a function of a device position; receiving mobile device location information of a user mobile device associated with a second user from at least one of the user mobile device and a remote telecommunication carrier server in communication with the user mobile device; receiving mobile device location information of another user mobile device, the another user mobile device associated with the first user; determining the at least one allowable dynamic geographic area based on a position of the another user mobile device; modifying the at least one allowable dynamic geographic area based on a change in a position of the another user mobile device; comparing the mobile device location information of the user mobile device associated with the second user with the indication of the at least one allowable dynamic geographic area; and transmitting the indication of a reward to the user mobile device associated with the second user based on a failure of the user mobile device associated with the second user to exit the allowable geographic area during the predetermined period of time as indicated by the mobile device location information.
