Adaptation of notification perimeter based on relevance to a user
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented system, comprising:
- a location-based notification component that establishes a virtual perimeter relative to a geographical point of interest, and by triggering of the virtual perimeter by a user device, communicates a notification to the user device;
a relevance component that dynamically changes the virtual perimeter based on a corresponding change in relevance of the point of interest to a user of the device; and
a processor that executes computer-executable instructions associated with at least one of the location-based notification component or the relevance component.

Abstract
Location-based notification architecture that provides notification relevance to a user and/or a user goal. The size of the virtual perimeter or boundary is changed dynamically based on changes in relevance to a user and/or user goal, and thus, can be made dependent on various factors. The size of the perimeter can increase or decrease according to user preferences that are learned over time (e.g., preference for a gas station of a specific company). These capabilities improve the relevance of the notification the user receives. The relevance of a notification to the user can be improved by tuning the perimeter size according to known parameters that depend on the point of interest (e.g., business) itself and/or by tuning of the size of virtual perimeter according to parameters associated with user behavior. Other parameters can be considered as well, such as environmental conditions, and traffic conditions, for example.
