1. A method comprising:

  • accepting, by a mobile data processing system, with a configuration user interface of the mobile data processing system, from a user of the mobile data processing system, a locally maintained user specified location based event configuration including;

    one or more conditions including a location based condition for comparing by the mobile data processing system to whereabouts data received for processing by the mobile data processing system for the mobile data processing system determining an identified data processing system being located in proximity of a specific location wherein the identified data processing system is identified to the mobile data processing system upon the accepting, andat least one action including an action for the mobile data processing system to modify operations of a user action of at least one user interface of the mobile data processing system from a first behavior processing state to a second behavior processing state wherein the at least one action including the action for the mobile data processing system to modify the operations of the user action is triggered for processing upon the mobile data processing system determining the one or more conditions including the location based condition for comparing by the mobile data processing system to the whereabouts data received for processing by the mobile data processing system for the mobile data processing system determining the identified data processing system being located in proximity of the specific location;

    storing, by the mobile data processing system, the user specified location based event configuration local to the mobile data processing system for the mobile data processing system determining the one or more conditions including the location based condition for comparing by the mobile data processing system to the whereabouts data received for processing by the mobile data processing system for the mobile data processing system determining the identified data processing system being located in proximity of the specific location;

    monitoring, by the mobile data processing system, for the one or more conditions including the location based condition for comparing by the mobile data processing system to the whereabouts data received for processing by the mobile data processing system for the mobile data processing system determining the identified data processing system being located in proximity of the specific location;

    receiving for processing, by the mobile data processing system, the whereabouts data;

    detecting, by the mobile data processing system, the one or more conditions including the location based condition for comparing by the mobile data processing system to the whereabouts data received for processing by the mobile data processing system for the mobile data processing system determining the identified data processing system being located in proximity of the specific location;

    invoking, by the mobile data processing system, the at least one action including the action for the mobile data processing system to modify the operations of the user action of the at least one user interface of the mobile data processing system from the first behavior processing state to the second behavior processing state upon the detecting, by the mobile data processing system, the one or more conditions including the location based condition; and

    modifying, by the mobile data processing system, the operations of the user action of the at least one user interface of the mobile data processing system from the first behavior processing state to the second behavior processing state.
