Confirming a venue of user location
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for verifying a venue associated with a user location, the method comprising:
- determining, by a mobile computing device using a geographic location sensor, an estimated geographic location of the mobile computing device;
wirelessly transmitting, by the mobile computing device, the estimated geographic location to a computerized server system;
receiving, at the mobile computing device and from the server system in response to the transmitting, an identification of a suggested venue;
providing, on a display of the mobile computing device, an interface element that indicates that the mobile computing device may be located at the suggested venue;
receiving, at the mobile computing device, user input that confirms that the user is at the suggested venue, wherein in response to receiving the user input, the suggested venue is identified as a confirmed venue;
and providing, from the mobile computing device, a wireless communication that identifies that the user is at the confirmed venue.

Abstract
Methods and systems that record the location of a user and transmit targeted content to a user based upon their current and past location. A network is configured to include a server programmed with a database of targeted content, a database of location information, a database of user information, a database searching algorithm, and a wireless communication system capable of communicating with the user'"'"'s mobile device. The location of the mobile device is ascertained and recorded. The location information is analyzed to determine businesses visited by the user, and other behaviors of the user. Targeted content is sent to the mobile device of the user and whether the user visits the physical locations associated with the targeted content is monitored. Payment systems, phone exchange systems, and other features may also be integrated to provide detailed conversion tracking to producers of targeted content and business owners.

12. A system for verifying a venue associated with a user location, the system comprising:
-
a mobile computing device to transmit an estimated geographic location of the mobile computing device in a wireless request, and to receive, in a wireless response to the request, a suggested venue, wherein the suggested venue is displayed on a display of the mobile computing device along with a prompt that a user of the mobile computing device confirm whether or not the user is located at the suggested venue, wherein the mobile computing device further displays additional suggested venues; a location-identification unit to determine the estimated geographic location of the mobile computing device; and a server system to receive the estimated geographic location in the wireless request and return the suggested venue to the mobile computing device in the wireless response. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15)
