1. A system comprising:
- a CPU, a computer readable memory and a computer readable storage media;
program instructions to detect when a user has crossed within a geo-boundary;
program instructions to determine a content type of user location specific content to be sent to a mobile device of the user based on preferences provided by the user, the content type determined when the user has crossed within the geo-boundary, and the preferences comprising the content type which comprises at least one of text, audio, video and graphics;
program instructions to send the user location specific content of the determined content type to the mobile device when the user has crossed within the geo-boundary;
program instructions to determine whether the user is subscribed to a geo-boundary service when the user has crossed within the geo-boundary;
program instructions to determine whether the user has been offered to join the geo-boundary service within a predetermined time period when the user is not subscribed to the geo-boundary service; and
program instructions to provide the user an offer to join the geo-boundary service when the user has not been offered to join the geo-boundary service within the predetermined time period,wherein the program instructions are stored on the computer readable storage media for execution by the CPU via the computer readable memory.

Abstract
An architecture, system and method of use sends location based multimedia to participants of a geo-tour or other application using geo-boundaries and/or other location information. The method includes detecting when a user has crossed within a geo-boundary. The method further includes determining a content type to be sent to a mobile device based on preferences provided by the user. Additionally, the method includes sending user location specific content of the determined content type to the mobile device when the user has crossed within the geo-boundary.

12. A system implemented in hardware comprising:
a computer infrastructure operable to; receive registration information of a user including user preferences, a unique identification of a mobile device of the user, and subscription information within a geo-boundary; determine whether the user has previously crossed within the geo-boundary within a predetermined time period based on a time stamp indicative of when the user has previously crossed within the geo-boundary; when the user has previously crossed within the geo-boundary, provide the user an option to end a content providing process or continue a content providing process; when the user has not previously crossed within the geo-boundary or when the user elects to continue the content providing process, determine a content type of user location specific content to be sent to the mobile device of the user based on the user preferences provided by the user; and when the user has not previously crossed within the geo-boundary or when the user elects to continue the content providing process, sending the user location specific content of the determined content type to the mobile device of the user.
