Obtaining a geo-fence without a network download
First Claim
1. A method for providing a geo-fence without a network download, comprising:
- generating geo-fence parameters, wherein the geo-fence parameters comprise one or more alert conditions; and
encoding the geo-fence parameters on a portable storage media comprising a matrix barcode,wherein the geo-fence parameters are capable of being transferred to a location-enabled mobile device without the network download, andwherein the location-enabled mobile device issues an alert based on the one or more alert conditions being satisfied.

Abstract
Methods and systems for providing and obtaining a geo-fence without a network download are disclosed. An embodiment generates geo-fence parameters and encodes the geo-fence parameters on a portable storage media, wherein the geo-fence parameters are transferred to a location-enabled mobile device when the location-enabled mobile device scans the portable storage media. An embodiment scans, by a location-enabled mobile device, a portable storage media, wherein the portable storage media stores geo-fence parameters, and wherein scanning the portable storage media transfers the geo-fence parameters to the location-enabled mobile device. An embodiment includes a non-transitory portable storage media comprising geo-fence parameters, including a perimeter of a geo-fence and one or more alert conditions associated with the perimeter of the geo-fence, wherein scanning the portable storage media transfers the geo-fence parameters to a location-enabled mobile device.
