ESTABLISHING PROXIMITY DETECTION USING 802.11 BASED NETWORKS
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- presenting a set location setting capable of being selected by a user within a graphical user interface (GUI) of a mobile device;
detecting on-site location information of the mobile device in response to a selection of the set location setting;
detecting at least one on-site 802.11 based network in communication with the mobile device in response to a selection of the set location setting;
identifying an on-site IP address associated with the at least one on-site 802.11 based network;
associating both the on-site location information and the on-site IP address with an on-site zone of a site associated with the mobile device; and
altering an operating condition of a network device located at the site in response to a location of the mobile device relative to the on-site zone.

Abstract
A method includes presenting a set location setting capable of being selected by a user within a graphical user interface (GUI) of a mobile device. The method proceeds by detecting on-site location information of the mobile device in response to a selection of the set location setting and detecting at least one on-site 802.11 based network in communication with the mobile device in response to a selection of the set location setting. The method proceeds by identifying an on-site IP address associated with the at least one on-site 802.11 based network, and then associating both the on-site location information and the on-site IP address with an on-site zone of a site associated with the mobile device. The method proceeds by altering an operating condition of a network device located at the site in response to a location of the mobile device relative to the on-site zone.

11. An application having machine readable instructions stored on a machine-readable storage medium, the machine readable instructions when executed by a processor comprise the steps of:
-
display a set location setting capable of being selected by a user within a graphical user interface (GUI) of a mobile device; detect on-site location information of the mobile device in response to a selection of the set location setting; detect at least one on-site 802.11 based network in communication with the mobile device in response to a selection of the set location setting; identify an on-site IP address associated with the at least one on-site 802.11 based network; associate both the on-site location information and the on-site IP address with an on-site zone of a site associated with the mobile device; and alter an operating condition of a network device located at the site in response to a location of the mobile device relative to the on-site zone. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A mobile device comprising:
a processor capable of initiating an on-site operating condition of a network device at the site in response to determining that a current IP address associated with a current 802.11 based network in communication with the mobile device matches an on-site IP address during loss of a signal providing location information of the mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
