1. A system for determining a user'"'"'s path comprising:
- a server arranged to receive location data of a communication device associated with the user, the location data defining the detected position of the communication device at a number of different points in time, the location server further arranged to receive data associated with the location data indicative of the order in which the location data was determined;
wherein the server is further arranged to compare the received location data and zone data defining a plurality of zones and to associate the received location data with one of the plurality of zones;
determining the user'"'"'s path passing through a zone defined by the associated location data and the associated data;
storage for a plurality of user profiles wherein each user profile is defined by zone data defining an order in which a given type of user passes through the plurality of zones; and
comparing the determined path of the user passing through the of zones with the user profiles;
wherein the server is further arranged to associate the user with a given user profile and to process the path of the user.

Abstract
A method to define a geographical zone is disclosed. The geographical zone can be utilized to regulate a movable entity and the actions within the geographical zone. The geographical zone can be defined by allowing a user to define and load to a transponder a plurality of waypoints, each waypoint defined by a geographical coordinate and a radius originating from the geographical coordinate. The geographical zone can also be defined by selecting a plurality of coordinates that are loaded to a transponder and mapped on a pixilated image.

14. A system for determining a user'"'"'s path comprising:
-
a server arranged to receive location data of a communication device associated with the user, the location data defining the detected position of the communication device at a number of different points in time, the location server further arranged to receive data associated with the location data indicative of the order in which the location data was determined, the location date being transmitted between the server and the communication device by both WI-FI radio and Bluetooth; the server being further arranged to compare the received location data and zone data defining a plurality of zones and to associate the received location data with one of the plurality of zones; determining the user'"'"'s path passing through a zone defined by the associated location data and the associated data; storage for a plurality of user profiles wherein each user profile is defined by zone data defining an order in which a given type of user passes through the plurality of zones; and comparing the determined path of the user passing through the of zones with the user profiles;
wherein the server is further arranged to associate the user with a given user profile and to process the path of the user.

15. A physical arrangement for determining a user'"'"'s path comprising:
-
a server and a communication device; the server being arranged to receive location data of the communication device associated with the user, the location data defining the detected position of the communication device at a number of different points in time, the server being further arranged to receive associated data with the location data of the communication device indicative of the order in which the location data was determined; the communication device including WI-Fl radio and Bluetooth systems whereby the location data is transmitted between the server and the communication device by both WI-FI radio and Bluetooth; the server being further arranged to compare the received location data and zone data defining a plurality of zones and to associate the received location data with one of the plurality of zones; the server determining the user'"'"'s path passing through a zone defined by the location data and the associated data; storage for a plurality of user profiles wherein each user profile is defined by zone data defining an order in which a user passes through the plurality of zones; and comparing the determined path of the user passing through the of zones with the user profiles;
wherein the server is further arranged to associate the user with a given user profile and to process the path of the user.
