Setting a reminder that is triggered by a target user device
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving, by a server from a mobile requesting device, a request to set up a reminder that is triggered by a mobile target device, wherein the request includes;
a target device identifier that identifies the mobile target device and is associated with contact information of a target device user stored on the mobile requesting device, anda user-selected distance from a location of a selected physical address associated with the contact information of the target device user stored on the mobile requesting device, wherein the reminder is associated with the location, the user-selected distance, and a condition, wherein the user-selected distance is received from a requesting device user;
determining, by the server, if the target device user has previously granted permission to share their location with the requesting device user;
determining, by the server, a permission setting on the target device;
if the permission was previously granted and the permission setting indicates that permission is granted, transmitting, by the server to the mobile target device, an instruction to set up the reminder on the mobile target device based on the target device identifier;
receiving, by the server from the mobile target device, a message that the reminder has been triggered by the mobile target device coming within the distance of the selected location; and
transmitting, by the server to the mobile requesting device, a notification that the reminder has been triggered by the mobile target device, wherein the notification includes the target device identifier and an identifier for the location.

Abstract
Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for setting a reminder triggered by a target device. A requesting device sends a request to a server to set a reminder triggered by a target device. The request includes parameters, such as a location and a condition that define when the reminder is triggered. The server sends instruction to the target device to set the reminder based on the parameters. When the condition such as arrival is met by the target device in relation to the location the target device sends a message to the server that the reminder has been triggered. The target device can set a geo-fence to determine the position of the target device in relation to the location, and the requesting user can dictate the size of the geo-fence. The server sends a notification to the requesting device that the reminder has been triggered.

10. A system, comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory containing instruction that, when executed, cause the processor to; receive from a mobile requesting device, a request to set up a reminder that is triggered by a mobile target device, the request including a target device identifier that identifies the mobile target device and is associated with contact information of a target device user on the mobile requesting device and a user-selected distance from a location of a selected physical address associated with the contact information of the target device user stored on the mobile requesting device, and the reminder being associated with the location, the user-selected distance, and a condition; determine, by the server, if the target device user has previously granted permission to share their location with the requesting device user; determine, by the server, a permission setting on the target device; if the permission was previously granted and the permission setting indicates that permission is granted, transmit to the mobile target device, an instruction to set up the reminder on the mobile target device; receive from the mobile target device, a message that the reminder has been triggered by the handheld target device coming within the distance of the selected location; and transmit to the mobile requesting device, a notification that the reminder has been triggered, wherein the notification includes the target device identifier and an identifier for the location. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, storing instruction that, when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to:
-
receive from a mobile requesting device, a request to set up a reminder that is triggered by a mobile target device, the request including a target device identifier that identifies the mobile target device and is associated with contact information of a target device user on the mobile requesting device and a user-selected distance from a location of a selected physical address associated with the contact information of the target device user stored on the mobile requesting device, and the reminder being associated with the location, the user-selected distance, and a condition; determine if the target device user has previously granted permission to share their location with the requesting device user; determine a permission setting on the target device; if the permission was previously granted and the permission setting indicates that permission is granted, transmit to the mobile target device, an instruction to set up the reminder on the mobile target device based on the target device identifier; receive from the mobile target device, a message that the reminder has been triggered by the mobile target device coming within the distance of the selected location; and transmit to the mobile requesting device, a notification that the reminder has been triggered, wherein the notification includes the target device identifier and an identifier for the location. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
