Methods, systems, and apparatus for a geo-fence system
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An apparatus for generating a geo-fence, the apparatus comprising:
- a processor; and
memory to store instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to;
obtain a definition of the geo-fence, the geo-fence being defined based on a first geo-fence criterion of a plurality of geo-fence criteria;
obtain a trigger, the trigger generated in response to a change in the first geo-fence criterion; and
redefine one or more boundaries of the geo-fence based on the changed first geo-fence criterion in response to obtaining the trigger, wherein one or more of the one or more geo-fence boundaries are modified at a geo-fence device that detects one or more of the one or more geo-fence boundaries and wherein one or more of the one or more geo-fence boundaries are modified due to a count of applications executing on the geo-fence device and monitoring for a geo-fence.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus for defining, generating, utilizing, and/or detecting a geo-fence are described. A trigger is obtained, the trigger generated in response to a change in a geo-fence criteria. One or more boundaries of the geo-fence based on the geo-fence criteria are defined in response to obtaining the trigger.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodying instructions that, when executed by a processor, perform operations comprising:
-
obtaining a definition of the geo-fence, the geo-fence being defined based on a first geo-fence criterion of a plurality of geo-fence criteria; obtaining a trigger, the trigger generated in response to a change in the first geo-fence criterion; and redefining one or more boundaries of the geo-fence based on the changed first geo-fence criterion in response to obtaining the trigger, wherein one or more of the one or more geo-fence boundaries are modified at a geo-fence device that detects one or more of the one or more geo-fence boundaries and wherein one or more of the one or more geo-fence boundaries are modified due to a count of applications executing on the geo-fence device and monitoring for a geo-fence. - View Dependent Claims (16)
