Systems and methods for monitoring a mobile-computing device using geo-location information
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for monitoring a mobile-computing device using geo-location information, at least a portion of the method being performed by a computing device comprising at least one processor, the method comprising:
- determining, during a learning phase, that a user is located within a first range of physical locations during a recurring time period;
generating a location profile for a mobile-computing device of the user, the location profile correlating the first range of physical locations with the recurring time period;
receiving a device-monitoring policy for the mobile-computing device from an administrator;
detecting, after the learning phase, that the mobile-computing device is outside the first range of physical locations during a first instance of the recurring time period;
implementing the device-monitoring policy after detecting that the mobile-computing device is outside the first range of physical locations during the first instance of the recurring time period.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method for monitoring a mobile-computing device using geo-location information is disclosed. The method may include a learning phase. During the learning phase, a user may be located within a first range of physical locations during a recurring time period. The method may include generating a location profile for a mobile-computing device of the user and receiving a device-monitoring policy for the mobile-computing device from an administrator. The location profile may correlate the first range of physical locations with the recurring time period. The method may further include detecting, after the learning phase, that the mobile-computing device is outside the first range of physical locations during a first instance of the recurring time period. The method may also include implementing the device-monitoring policy after detecting that the mobile-computing device is outside the first range of physical locations during the first instance of the recurring time period.

16. A computer-implemented method for monitoring a mobile-computing device using geo-location information, at least a portion of the method being performed by a computing device comprising at least one processor, the method comprising:
-
determining, during a learning phase, that a user is located within a first range of physical locations during a first time period having a first length of time; generating a location profile for a mobile-computing device of the user, the location profile correlating the first range of physical locations with the first length of time; receiving a device-monitoring policy for the mobile-computing device from an administrator; detecting, after the learning phase, that the mobile-computing device is outside the first range of physical locations during a second time period having a length approximately equal to the first length of time; implementing the device-monitoring policy after detecting that the mobile-computing device is outside the first range of physical locations during the second time period. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)
